Sometimes it is useful to have e-mail address like foo-randomnumber@example.org, where randomnumber identifies the conversation between a robot such as a mailing list server and a user. Is this possible with Microsoft Exchange?

The correct term is "DEA", or Disposable Email Address. A wildcard email address is *@example.com – Mark Henderson♦ Mar 11 '10 at 0:59

Out of the box no.

You could develop an event sink that does the routing for you... This might get you started.

Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on your perspective) event sinks have been deprecated in exchange 2010. msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa579182%28v=exchg.140%29.aspx – EricB Apr 12 at 0:50

While the short answer is no, when the need arises and I don't wish to use one of the many web based providers of disposable email addresses I simply create one, use it and delete it when done.

This question is about e-mail addresses that are created on the fly by a computer program and only used one time. – joeforker Mar 11 '10 at 19:07

The answer then is still no. At least not out of the box. However, It's no big deal to script what I do manually. i.e. Don't try to do it within Exchange, do it with normal AD account scripting methods. The script can be run from whatever software you use. – John Gardeniers Mar 11 '10 at 20:58
