Send from two different domain names from within Outlook
We recently acquired a secondary domain name and have added this into our Exchange 2003 server as an additional address. Users can receive e-mails from both domain addresses. However, now my users would like to be able to use both accounts simultaneously -- be able to send from both domain names from within Outlook. Outlook doesn't support multiple e-mail accounts for the same user, so how can I do this?

Here is a simple solution to your problem:
- Create two separate mailboxes as follows:
user@company1
user@company2 - Give the user full access to both mailboxes.
- Go to user@company2 and forward e-mails to user@company1.
- Hide the account from the address book to prevent users from accessing it.
- While using the Global Address Book, save user@company2 as a contact.
- When the user wants to send a message from company2 he must select user@company2 and add it to the FROM field.

You can also set up a second account (POP3) with the e-mail address as user@company2. Set it up as a sending account only in Tools -> Send/Receive -> Send/Receive settings (for Outlook XP and 2003). Then just choose that account from the Accounts button on a new e-mail.
