My company, on old its old mail server, used a number of fairly large mailing lists. The behavior of these lists were such that our people would receive an email that was from "mailinglist@ourcompany.com on behalf of sender@ourcompany.com". When our users replied to one of these messages, the reply would go back tomailinglist@ourcompany.com (NOT tosender@ourcompany.com). In this way, replies would also be sent to all users on the mailing list without using the reply-all button.
We would like to have similar behavior with our new Exchange 2013 server, but the behavior of Exchange distribution groups seems to be that emails received by users on the distribution group are simply fromsender@ourcompany.com and replies go only to that particular sender.
Using reply-all here to send to everyone on the distribution group is not a feasible solution. Some of our users have many dozens, sometimes hundreds, of Outlook rules that rely upon mailing list emails coming in frommailinglist@ourcompany.com and not from individual senders.
Is there a way to make Exchange behave in this manner?
