5.18. Setting a Default Reply-to Address for a Mailbox
Problem
You need to change the default reply-to SMTP address for a mailbox.
Solution
Using a graphical user interface
Log on to any machine in your domain that has the Exchange management tools installed.
Open the ADUC snap-in (Users and Computers.msc).
Locate the container that holds the mailbox whose reply-to address you want to modify.
Select the mailbox you want to modify, then right-click it and choose Properties.
Select the E-mail Addresses tab in the Properties dialog box.
Click New. Select a type of address, typically this will be SMTP Address.
Type the new email address and click OK.
Click on the new address and click Set As Primary.
Remove the check from the Automatically update email addresses based on recipient policy box.

# ------------------ import-proxy.ldf --------------------- dn: CN=alex,OU=TestUsers,DC=3sharpaustin,DC=com changetype: modify replace: proxyAddresses proxyAddresses: smtp:alex.secondary@foo.3sharpaustin.com proxyAddresses: smtp:alex@3sharpaustin.com proxyAddresses: smtp:alex.ldif.something@3sharpaustin.com proxyAddresses: SMTP:alex.default.ldif@3sharpaustin.com proxyAddresses: X400:c=us;a= ;p=First Organization;o=Exchange;s=alex; - dn: CN=alex,OU=TestUsers,DC=3sharpaustin,DC=com changetype: ...
