Hey,
I setup a test exchange box in a new domain. I set forwarding from my gmail account to my newdomain email account on exchange. What i found out was when i check the access database any email that is being forwarded from my gmail will be listed as
gmailusername+caf_=testdomainusername=testdomain.com@gmail.com
Problem is, in this way i am not able to identify the original user who is sending email to my gmail account. For example if Sue at sue@hotmail.com sends an email to my gmail account and it gets forwarded to my test domain account it will have the same format in the database as i mentioned earlier. Since from the database i would never know that email came from Sue, what would be the way to identify the original user of the email?
My guess was that since my gmail account is already been whitelisted, when Sue sends me an email it really dosent matter if i whitelist her email separately because my gmail account is already in the whitelist.
I apologize if my language here is a bit confusing. Any help on this would be appreciated. I would love to implement this in my real environment.
