SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program to change the alias of a recipient, the e-mail address associated with that mailbox is not changed.



WORKAROUND
You can create a new proxy address for the recipient in question, while keeping the old address active.



MORE INFORMATION
The functionality to automatically change e-mail addresses is not available in Microsoft Exchange Server. After an e-mail address has been assigned for a particular recipient, it will remain until the Administrator explicitly changes it.

Additional query words: aliasing
