How to prevent Outlook address resolution

M

Is it possible to keep Outlook from resolving any name or mail address
you type into the "From:" (or "To:") field? Or in other words: How can
a user with two SMTP addresses (Exchange 2000) send a mail as his
secondary smtp address?

By default Outlook (2000,XP,2003) automatically resolves any address
into the corresponding Active Directory display name - and uses the
default (first) smtp address as sender address.

Background: secondary mail address is required e.g. to send to a
restricted mailing list.

I found a lot of questions around Outlook name resolution in this and
other newsgroups but no satisfying solution to this problem.
There simply >must< be some kind of workaround for this feature.

What I've already tried is:
- creating an outlook contact for the secondary smtp address (with a
non-exchange Outlook profile) ---> prevents name resolution within
the "To:"/"CC:" field but error message "You're not allowed to send
as xxx" when used in the "From:" field.
- add a mail address via Outlook VBA macro + set property "resolved"
to TRUE
===> error "attrribute write protected" - although VBA help says
"read/write access"
