The problem with our setup is that the real address is aliased to the Exchange address before Exchange even sees the email. So my email address of pete.bi...@unit.xx.yy.zz is aliased to my exchange address of pbi...@exchange.xx.yy.zz before it hits the exchange server - indeed my exchange address works perfectly happily as a "real" email address, we are just firmly encouraged not to use them. > > So in my case I enter 'david.woodho...@intel.com".

Conversely putting pbi...@exchange.xx.yy.zz gets the correct URL back and everything works. I have no doubt that the setup at my work is bizarre so I doubt it is worth it, or even possible, to alter the code to accommodate it. Finally, you've labeled this as an Alpha release - do you have any idea of the timescale for getting it to beta and ultimately to stable?
