1019.0. "Multiple addresses *by default*" by DUB01::MCCORRY (Tenors get women by the score.) Tue Apr 22 1997 02:08

    Hi
    
    I want to set up Exchange accounts such that they have multiple X.400
    addresses and multiple SMTP addresses.
    
    Now I know how to create alternative addresses for users individually,
    and I know how to use the ADMIN/E and ADMIN/I functions and some data
    file manipulation to deal with
    bulk loads, but my requirements here are slightly different.
    
    I want the multiple addresses to be standard for new accounts, such
    that when I create a new mailbox, I'll want it to have multiple address
    types by default.
    
    The Exchange addressing defaults doesn't seem to offer a facility of
    using any more than one form for each address by default.
    
    Do I need to employ a custom DLL to do this kind of thing?  If so are
    there any code samples around for it?
    
    Thanks

1019.1Proxy dll may be an optiontunsrv2-tunnel.imc.das.dec.com::fosterStan Foster - foster@mail.dec.comWed Apr 23 1997 07:348
Good question.. gateways do this using a the proxy generating dll 
(see the gateways SDK docs) but I dont know if it is possible to 
replace the IMC proxy generating function with a custom version. I'd 
like to know the answer though because we will soon hit this question 
on the internal systems.

A brute force approach is to create mailboxes via an import script 
where you can include secondary proxy addresses.

	This really depends on how you are creating your new mailboxes.

	If they are on the fly, then I think you are stuck with adding the new
	addresses and setting the appropriate primaries.

	If you are using the Import functionality then you can set the 
	required primaries in the CSV import file.  This is done by using the
	heading "Proxy-addresses".  This field defines the primary address for
	the import user.  It can look like:

	....,mode,Proxy-addresses,Secondary-proxy-addresses,...
.....,create,X400:c=GB;a=admd;p=prmd;s=bridport%SMTP:Bridport@mail.dec.com,
	X400:c=GB;a=dmda;p=dmrp;g=nigel%SMTP:Nigel@mail.dec.com,...

	This would result in a new mailbox with the primary addresses of:

	X400:c=GB;a=admd;p=prmd;s=bridport
	SMTP:Bridport@mail.dec.com

	And other, secondary, associated addresses of (You can have as many as
	you like here:

	X400:c=gb;a=dmda;p=dmrp;g=nigel
	SMTP:Nigel@mail.dec.com

	Within Exchange you can only have 1 primary address per protocol. 
	Otherwise, how would Exchange be able to route messages *:-s
