As Mark rightly mentioned there must be some wizard in SBS 2003. SBS 2008
certainly has wizard configuration. I am marking this post in the SBS group
for some expert in SBS 2003 to respond.

Hi Rajiv, Roger, and Mark:

This is a duplicate post of that three posts below this one.  Below is the
answer.  If there are further questions, it would be good to confine the
thread to the SBS group.

To set the default external email address you run the CEICW (second item on
the page, cannot ever remember what it stands for) from the to do list in
Server Management.

Windows Server - How can I change the default external email address

Asked By Roger

12-Sep-09 04:57 AM

We use Outlook 2003 sp2 and have a small LAN with 3 workstations using a
Server SBS 2003. We are set up to send emails via Microsoft Exchange Server
and never send email to ourselves, only to "external" addresses in the
outside world ! When we send emails to outside the LAN they always show the
local email address, ie roger@ournetwork.local so anyone replying to our
emails will get an "address unknown" message. How can I change the return
address on our emails so that it shows our external address and not the
internal local address. I have been told it can be done, but I cannot figure
it out ... Roger

There will probably some wizard for this and someone with better
(some) knowledge of SBS may come in and give you guidance but.... In
normal Exchange land you can start Exchange System Manager and drill
down to Recipients then Recipient Policies. Edit the one that is there
(there ishould be only one).
Change the domain to what you want it to read and you are done. The
addresses will be re-written.
The .local is not needed at all, even if you guys do choose to send
internally at some point so do not worry about it. If you are thinking
