How do I change my default email address?

Can you change the default reply-to for an Exchange 2010 sp1 distribution group to be the group email address (eg [email protected]) rather than the sender of the email?

  • I can't work out how to change this.  At present, on all my groups, if a group member sends an email to the group, and someone wants to reply to the whole group, if they hit reply, they just send it to the sender of the email, not the whole group. To reply to the whole group, which I'd like to be the default behaviour, the user either has to hit reply-all or change the send-to field to the group address.

  • Answer:

    From what I can see you have two options. Both don't completely satisfy what you want but are reasonable workarounds: 1. When sending your email to the group, in Outlook go to Message Options and put the group name in the Have replies sent to field. When anyone replies to your message it will automatically reply to the group you name. I can't see a way to make this a default setting though so you'd have to do it each time. 2. Get an Exchange administrator (if you're not one) to give the group Send As permissions on itself. This means when you send the email you can send from and to the same group. When they reply, naturally, it will go back to the group (which is the original sender).
