multiple weird smtp email addresses in AD e-mail addressesCan anyone tell me what causes this and someway I can get rid of them without deleteing them one by one and how to keep them from coming back? Windows server 2003 and exchange 2003 I have groups and users and in active directory, e-mail addresses tab, I have (up to) 100s of address of the type smtp *102***@ourdomain.co.uk each has a different hex number. They take forever to delete. I have the feeling, that they might be caused by the Autmatically update email addresses based on recipient policy being ticked? That seems to be teh default... and the addresses have our sub-domain wich is uk.ourdomain.com in them, while we set the addresss up as u***@ourdomain.com but I still don't see where all the *hexnumber@ are coming from and not very easy to google this as the numbers are all different.... would really appreciate any help on this. What do your recipient policies look like? Do you have any third-party
