XRecipientList for Exchange 2000/2003 Listing updated: January 20, 2011

An Exchange 2000/2003 mailbox may have multiple SMTP addresses associated with it. For example, John Doe has a mailbox with a primary SMTP Address of john.doe@company.com and secondary SMTP address of john2@company.com. John wishes for emails sent to his secondary SMTP address to be automatically placed in the separate folder he has created. To do that he can define in his Outlook a rule like this:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with john2@company.com in the message header
Move it to john2 folder

So far so good. But if a message sender uses BCC option or when John Doe gets a SMTP e-mail addressed to distribution group, his e-mail address is not placed in the To: or the CC: fields. Even more, his e-mail address does not appear anywhere in the message headers at all. As a result, the rule above can not work.

XRecipientList application inserts the actual (SMTP envelope) recipients to the mail header. The application adds a new header field named X-RecipientList to each inbound e-mail. X-RecipientList field contains the list of the SMTP envelope recipients. Based on this header information, user will be able to set rules using his/her e-mail client software (i.e. MS Outlook).
