How To Send Email to Active Directory Group

active-directoryemail-serverwindows-server-2008-r2

Salvete! I have two servers, one hosts my email server (hMailServer on windows server 2003) and the other hosts active directory (on windows server 2008). I don't have Microsoft Exchange.

In Active directory, there are user groups that have email addresses.

How can I send an email to a user group?

Somewhere I need to be able to connect my mail server to active directory. Maybe AD has a mail pickup folder? I can't find the information that I need.

Here is a similar link, but it didn't help me.
Send As Distribution Group Email Address?

(I think a tag for hMailServer would be a good idea.)
Thanks for y'all's help.

You would have to find out if hMailServer supports reading AD for distribution groups. This is typically not a function of AD but rather of the mail server itself.

If it doesn't take a look at Windows Small Business Server, it might limit you in other ways but you do get a copy of MS Exchange which can certainly do this for you.
