Delivery Options for Recipients

You can specify delivery options for a recipient who will receive all messages intended for the primary recipient, or a recipient who has permissions to send messages on behalf of the primary recipient. This option is not available for public folders or custom recipients.

Getting to the recipient Delivery Options property page

1. In the Administrator window, choose a recipients container or an Address Book view container.
2. Double-click the recipient you want to configure.
3. Select the Delivery Options tab.

Specifying an Alternate Recipient for Incoming Messages

You can specify an alternate recipient when you want another recipient to receive incoming messages intended for a mailbox or distribution list. For example, if you are going out of town on business, you can specify a team member to receive all your messages.

1. Select the Delivery Options tab.
2. Under Alternate recipient, choose Modify.
3. Select a recipient, and then choose OK to confirm your selection.
4. Select or clear Deliver messages to both recipient and alternate recipient.

Option	Description
Alternate recipient	Specifies an alternate recipient to receive any incoming messages intended for this mailbox or distribution list.
None	When selected, specifies that you do not want an alternate recipient.
Deliver messages to both recipient and alternate recipient	When selected, messages are delivered to both the recipient and alternate recipient. When cleared, messages are delivered to the alternate recipient only.

Specifying Who Can Send Messages on Behalf of a Recipient

You can give another recipient the authority to send messages on behalf of a mailbox or custom recipient (not available for a distribution list or public folder). For example, if you give Adele Williams Send On Behalf Of permission for Ali Gobi's mailbox, Adele can compose a message and send it on behalf of Ali Gobi. When the recipient gets the message, the message heading indicates that the message was sent by Adele Williams on behalf of Ali Gobi. This is different from Send As permission, which does not indicate in the message heading the actual sender. Use the mailbox Permissions property page to give Send As permission.

1. Select the Delivery Options tab.
2. Under Give Send On Behalf Of permission to, choose Modify.
3. In the Address Book, select a recipient, and then choose Add.
