Follow the steps outlined below:
- Create a group called InternalOnly.
- Create a recipient policy that gives them a fake SMTP address. i.e. @fake.domain. Leave the X400 address alone so they can receive internal mail.
- Drill down through Routing Groups > Group Name > Connectors > SMTP internet connector(s), choose its properties. Choose the Delivery Restrictions tab, and under "reject", add this group. Do this for each connector.
- Follow the steps in KB277872, regarding Connector Restrictions.
[Now they can't use the SMTP connector(s) to send external mail]

Probably nothing. A mailbox will not appear under Mailbox Store | Mailboxes until either someone has logged into the mailbox or the mailbox has received a mail message. Some administrators send a welcome message to a mailbox shortly after it has been created, which would cause it to appear.

'Receive as' allows a user object to open a mailbox. 'Send as' allows a user to send out a mail message as the mailbox that has been opened.

First, add the address or domain you wish to filter to the Filtering Tab of the Message Delivery Global Settings. Next, you need to apply the filter to the SMTP virtual server you wish to filter. (Administrative Group | Server | Protocols | SMTP | <SMTP Virtual Server> | Properties | Advanced | <select the IP address for which you wish to enable filtering> | Edit | Apply Filter). Normally, you would only want to apply message filtering to the border SMTP servers (servers that communicate directly with External servers).

The following criteria are used when determining what a client will see for the Global Address List.
- Which Address List do you have permissions to see?
- Which Address List contains your mailbox object as an entry?
If your mailbox appears as an object in more than one address list:
- Which of the remaining Address Lists contains more entries?

There is nothing in the product that will do this. You can create a WELCOME.MSG that you deploy with Outlook, but that only applies the first time Outlook is opened after creating a new profile. Otherwise, you could script mailbox creation and send a message at the end of the script.

You can do it, however, see there are limitations. It reliably works only on a border server, which can be either a Windows 2000 or 2003 SMTP Server with or without Exchange 2000/2003 installed. For more information, see KB317327 and KB317680

You can do this through a registry entry. But there are two drawbacks. Once this is done, the details that are necessary to display the notification in the preview pane are stripped, and the originator of the message cannot use the Send Again option. For more information, see KB308303

Exchange 2000 requires a user object for each mailbox. You can create a disabled user object, associate a mailbox with it, and then grant another user object 'receive as' and 'send as' permissions to that mailbox.

You can, but you will be sad. Do NOT back up the M: drive of an Exchange 2000 server. It can result in messages and attachments being inaccessible via the Outlook client.

Yes and no. Under Exchange 2000, a mailbox is not deleted immediately when an NT account is deleted. It can be reattached to a new user object following the steps described in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article "XADM: How to Recover a Deleted Mailbox in Exchange 2000" - Q274343. There is no built in mechanism for backing up a single Exchange mailbox. This would still require a 3rd party brick level backup utility.

Unless you are following specific steps in a Microsoft KB article which specifies using a specific tool to perform a specific task you should NOT use anything other than the standard tool shipped with a product to administer it. So, you should NOT use the Exchange 5.5 Administrator program to administer Exchange 2000 servers, you should NOT use the Exchange 2000 System Manager to administer Exchange 5.5 servers and you should NOT use the AD Sites and Servers tool to Administer Exchange 2000 servers.

Since there is no longer an IMC/IMS in Exchange 2000, the IMCEXT.DLL no longer applies. To prepend or append text to email messages you will need to write an Event Sink. Basic documentation can be found in the Exchange SDK or on MSDN.
