Email address stripping out a period

Our email addresses are setup as First Name dot Last Name at domain name.

Seems that each user profile is not keeping the dot between the first and last

names. I can edit them on the profile, apply the changes and they revert back

to without the period.

Why is that?

Thanks.
 
Playing around a bit and I *think* UNchecking

"Automatically update email addresses based on recipient policy"

fixes the issue. Is there something else I should be changing so this

is not an issue?

I'd validate your recipient policy - seems like it's incorrect if applying

it gives you invalid email addresses

Hi Karl,

I'd look into that if I knew where to look. Can you please

provide more information?

Ok. ESM > Recipients > Recipient Policies > Default Policy > Email Addresses (Policy)

SMTP @domain.com

smtp @domain.local

smtp Given.Surname@domain.com

smtp Given@domain.com

X400 c=US;a= ;p=DOMAIN;o=Exchange

Is what is shown.

I guess the default should be set for Given.Surname@domain.com

?

Based on your requirements, yes. Note that smtp changes to uppercase SMTP.

Thanks and uppercase noted. I applied the policy and now when I

send mail the return email address is displayed as Given.Surname@domain.com

which I don't want the recipient to see. So I edited each user profile

and set the address I want as the primary. Is this normal behavior?
 
Just wanted to clarify:

As in those exact words "Given.Surname" not the given and surname

specified in the user profile.

Use %g.%s@domain.com in the policy.

The list of variables is here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285136

Note that anything you've done already will have put the new addresses in

people's mailboxes.... you will need to manually delete those as a new

polciy/policy change will not *remove* anything already added.

There were only a few extra and we don't have but a handful

of users so it wasn't all that bad.

Did you go into the AD and verify the address assigned to the user object? (Checking one or two users should be sufficient.)
