        Sorry, I know very little about exchange. But, this sounds like the SMTP Adapter would be able to accomplish this. I think it can send messages to Exchange groups.

          You should be able to use a combination of SMTP Send Adapter and POP3 Receive adapter to send emails and retrieve responses.
          You will need to add a mailbox for responses and set the From address on the Biztalk send port to this mailbox. You will need POP3 functionality on the exchange server and have a POP3 adapter polling this mailbox.

          Your biggest difficulty is going to be determining if an email has been delivered. In the age of spam most people have disabled external delivery receipts and read receipts. You will possibly get bounce messages so you will have to deal with acks and nacks.
          The response messages are meant for human consumption so they will not be structured data so parsing the responses will be a nightmare. As will correllating the responses to the originating messages.

          Best of luck.

              Hi,
              I%u00b4m searching for an opportunity to connect my Biztalk 2004 to an Exchange 2000 Server. Newest Service Packs are applied. I want to achieve this scenario:
              The Biztalk should be able to send Mails to a special contact (like partnerfirms etc) via my exchange. If those mailings are not delivered I want to get an Information about that in an extra Mailbox. If it%u00b4s feasable to generate a report about that undelivered mails that is send every 7 days or so I would be glad.

              I appreciate all kinds of help and thx
