Can I change the "reply to" in OL2003 and Exchange 2003? I know you can
change it for regular POP3 accts but what about my Exchange acct? IOW, I
want to send thru my internal exchange account & rec'v thru my external POP3
account.

Thanks.

Not without help from the Exchange admins.

However, you can set up a POP account in your profile, excluding it from the
send/receive group, specifying whatever sender address you like, and
specifying your Exchange server as the outgoing SMTP server (if that option
is enabled in the server). Specify any syntactically-correct POP server
name you want, since you'll never receive mail via that account, so that the
wizard can continue. Select that account when you want to send mail from
that sender address.

I posed this question in the Exchange group and they told me to ask the
question here? I appreciate your answer but I'm a bit confused. I was
hoping I could send email without specifying which account and being that
Exchange is the default account, that's the way it'll be sent. But can I
have the person replying to my email reply to my POP account automatically?

As far as I can tell, the sender address is in a field of the Exchange
mailbox.

If it's sent via the Exchange account, whatever the sender address is for
that account will be what the recipient sees.

When the recipient replies, they'll reply to whatever the sender address on
the message is. It obviously won't be your Exchange account sender address,
since the whole point of this thread is, as you originally said, to use a
sender address _different_ than your Exchange account address.
