E-mail address policy problems

[boein]

Hi,

I want to be able to use e-mail addresses in exchange 2007 looking like these ones:
firstname.lastname@domain.com
firstname.part_of_lastname.lastname@domain.com
firstname.part_of_lastname.part_of_lastname@domain.com

But exchange e-mail policy is preventing me to use these formats and sets the default address to
firstname.lastname@domain.com
so if the lastname of a person consists of different parts they will be concatenated like this
firstname.part_of_lastnamelastname@domain.com

What can I do to make this work via a policy because I don't want to manualy uncheck the "automatically update e-mail addresses based on e-mail address policy"-switch for every mailbox.

Thanks
Boein

Are you saying you want 3 different SMTP addresses per person?

No,

each user has 1 primarysmtp-address and several other adresses (aliases). Problem is the lastname of a user. For ex.
given name: Pieter
lastname: De Prutser
e-mail made by Exchange: Pieter.DePruster@domain.com

e-mail should be: pieter.de.prutser@domain.com

mark the extra "." before the @

if this person should call
given name: Pieter
lastname: Van Der Prutser

e-mail should be: pieter.van.der.prutser@domain.com

Is this possible?

Thanks
Boein

Oh right, gotcha. something similar to this used to crop up in Exchange 2003, have a search in that forum and see if anything looks helpful.
