We have outside users that have our orgs email address. We are a church so various ministries etc have our org email address. When a person on a council leaves, they get deleted... and any spam going to the org address goes away. Yes, when they reply to someone, it is from their home address.... but this way email is getting to them and they don't have to remember to check another place for email...(like OWA) that is the justification for this setup :eek:

So I like to have all of our ministries set up in "mail contacts" (with aliases) But the contact for some of these ministries are internal mailboxes. So sure, I could (and have) just add that email address to the mailbox. But I like to still have the placeholder in "mail contacts" so if it changes to an outside address, it is a quick change.

But I can't point a "mail contact" to a mailbox... so it messes up the plan. Is there any way to have a mail contact (alias) point to an internal mailbox so I can keep Dynamic DL's intact and be able to have all my ministry contacts listed in the "Mail Contact" area? I can't think of one.
 
I'm not sure I understand the problem - normally, you make a contact in the GAL and assign the external SMTP to it - ie, John Doe, jdoe@hotmail.com. If John has a mailbox on the server you can configure it to forward mail to this hotmail address.

If you mean that Mary Smith only has an address on the server and you want a contact in the GAL for her (so its read for future use) as well as the mailbox, the only option is to use a different alias and forward the GAL contact to the mailbox. (When its an internal address, we usually create a DL instead of a user and make the mailbox the only member of the DL.)
