Dear all, i know that´s possible to change the displayname when opening a mail... e.g. in outlook 2003/2007 when opening the mail the from field looks like from: xyz [xyz@abc.de] but how it´s possible to change the from field only to xyz?...(without [xyz@abc.de])... Environment: Exchange 2003 and Windows SRV2003 best regards richard

Are you Referring to internal our external recipient addresses? Internal by default will show just the Display Name. Exchange & Powershell Geek MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2010

this is for external...

Hey Richard, This can be acheive in Exchnage 2007/2010 using HUB transport server rule but i don't think in Exch 2003. May be others have some trickAnil

Just add a sender to your Contacts folder.

Hi Victor, this is not for contacts, this is for the GAL...

Hi Richard, if the sender _is_ in the GAL, it will be resolved to name as you've asked for initially.
