One-off Addressing

One-off addresses are addresses used for messages to mailboxes that are not in your global address list or in your personal address book. They are called one-off because they are often used to send one piece of mail off to an address and are not used again. You can send a one-off message in either direction: from a Microsoft Outlook to a cc:Mail client, or from a cc:Mail client to a Microsoft Outlook.

A message sent from a Microsoft Outlook to a cc:Mail address will be delivered one of two ways. If the recipient is responsible, the connector will deliver the message to the custom recipient. A responsible cc:Mail recipient is represented as a custom recipient object in the global address list. Therefore, the connector is responsible for delivering the message to the custom recipient. A nonresponsible recipient address is not represented as a custom recipient and must be sent as a one-off address.

A one-off message sent from a Microsoft Outlook user to a cc:Mail user is addressed in the To box for a new message in Microsoft Outlook. It is not necessary for the cc:Mail user address to be present in a personal address book or the Microsoft Exchange Server global address list. For example, you can send a message to Grover Smith at post office Ferguson by typing the following in the To box.

[ccmail:smith,grover at ferguson]

A message sent from a cc:Mail client to a Microsoft Outlook user can be sent as a one-off if the Microsoft Exchange Server site is present in the cc:Mail address book. The intended recipient does not have to be listed in the cc:Mail address book. To send a one-off message from a cc:Mail client, select the site (represented as a post office), and type the user name. If you are using a comma in a user address (for example, "Smith, Grover,") you must prefix the one-off address with a comma (for example, ",Smith, Grover at Ferguson").
