We have Exchange Server 2010 setup and we can send email as another user.

However, we have an undesired side effect:

Authenticated as [email protected], [email protected] can send an email to anyone as [email protected], but the sent message ends up in bill's inbox, regardless of who the message was sent to.

Anyway we can disable this "feature" and not have the sent messages end up in the other user's inbox?

Here is a sample header:

Received: from localhost (xx.xx.xx.xx) by mail.domain.com (xx.xx.xx.xx) with
Microsoft SMTP Server (TLS) id 14.1.289.1; Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:37:53 -0700

  • I may be wrong, but I don't believe that is standard behaviour.

  • I agree it does seem odd. However it does seem to be the default behavior.

  • I'm kinda clutching at straws here, but is there anything unusual in the message headers or in the message tracking logs to indicate what might be wrong?

  • How do the users connect to Exchange: POP, IMAP, MAPI? Do you use an SMTP proxy or smart host?

    In addition, if I'm not mistaken there shouldn't be any headers for an internal message so the email has to be going outside the server and then back to Bill. Do the ip addresses in the headers give you a clue as to where the message is going?

Outdated to say the least....would have suggested to close it, but:

The behavior is as expected and standard, but check this article to further clarify your request. Even though it describes the scenario to alter the default behavior, it will provide the necessary details to alter your scenario accordingly.

If not, please provide the necessary details and/or your solution and/or please close the incident
