Yes, this is a bit of a problem. There may be a better solution, but here's
one way around it. But first:

The trouble is in the mail headers. For example, your message that came to
me has this in the headers (from View | Options):

X-Apparently-To: mark_wonsil@... via 206.190.39.87; Wed, 16 Nov 2005
00:45:44 -0800

And

To: vantage@yahoogroups.com

Your Exchange server is looking at the "To:" entry and not the
"X-Apparently-To" line. Seeing that vantage@yahoogroups.com is NOT a valid
mailbox in exchange, the message defaults to the administrator. So...

If you are the only one who reads this group, then you can add this email
address (vantage@yahoogroups.com) to your account in active directory for
users. If there are others who subscribe from your company, then the way to
do it is to create a distribution list in exchange and then subscribe that
name to the newsgroup.

There may be better solutions, but one of these should work in a pinch.

HTH,

Hi All,

Not really a Vantage related question, but it affects my ability to
receive messages from this group.

We've just moved to using Exchange 2003 for our email system and any
Yahoo Groups emails no longer get forwarded to the intended recipient.
They always come into the administrator box instead. The email
addresses used are all set up properly for each user and they are
receiving all their other emails fine.

Any ideas??

Cheers,

Jonny

Ps. Here is the start of the header of a typical mis-directed message:
