Modify E-mail address policy On Exchange 2007
We are currently on Exch 2007 migrated from Exch 2003. Prior to Exchange the company had GW for it email system. The email address policy includes and entry for
migrate.hernandocounty.us. Everytime I create a new mailbox for a user, not only does the user get our new domain but also the "migrate" one too. I have tried to remove it from the policy but receive the following error.

Edit your E-mail Address Policy and remove the GWISE address.
You can use Get-EmailAddressPolicy and Set-EmailAddressPolicy cmdlets in PowerShell to do this, or you should be able to change it in the Console.

I made the changes using Adsiedit.msc for the Disabled Gateway proxy and created a test user mailbox. It still added the
migrate address.
