The only way to add a name at/after sending is via rules, VBA, or an addin.
A DL or delegate can slip it in at sending, otherwise it would be more of a
typo- the sender is sending to someone with a similar name and it resolves
to UserA.
What version of Exchange? Is there any pattern to the messages UserA gets?
Ie, all mail sent to UserD, all mail from UserB, all mail to people under
ManagerC. If so, it could be set on the server - in most cases, it would be
all or nothing to/from a person or group but with Exchange 2007 or some
server utilities, it could be filtered so only mail with certain words in
the subject or body is sent to him.
