Sending on behalf of a distribution group??

Is it possible to do this?

We've created a distribution group with an smtp email address that's
essentially edit***@domain.com. I'd like to have one user respond as
edit***@domain.com, but keep his existing email (He's part of the
distribution list.) BUT I don't want him to worry about using the "From"
field and filling it in every time. No one ever remembers to do this.

So I'd like the user to respond to all edit***@domain.com emails as
edit***@domain.com, but still be able to respond to his emails as himself and
not worry about switching. Is there an easy way to do this in
Exchange/Outlook?

We're using Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003.

Thanks for any help.

That's really a training issue, I'd say!

Natively? Not that I can think of. You might see whether RightFrom at
www.ivasoft.biz helps....don't know if it works for DLs, though.

Ron,

a user will always automatically respond with his primary e-mail address
which you can check in his/her AD account properties. There is no way to not
have him do this manually.

But it is easy to get him the permission to so:
Just open the group permissions in AD, switch to the security tab, add the
user and give him/her "send as" permission

HTH,
Daniel
