I would like to have incoming POP mail for one of my user accounts to forward to another outside email address. I have created an exchange mailbox to receive the POP mail, and custom recipient for the outside email address. I can send to the exchange mailbox internally and it will forward to the custom recipient address. But I would like the mailbox to autoforward to the custom recipient after connecting to the POP server. Any suggestions on how to forward these incoming messages to the custom recipient?

That is a MOST interesting question and I'm not sure I have an answer other than setting up a Rule in Outlook.

However, I did want to suggest that you look at the routing tab on the Internet Mail Server to see if you are forwarding incoming SMTP mail to . You might also want to check to see if "disable automatic replies to the Internet" is checked - theoretically it should only apply to Out of Office rules, but I'm wondering if it might have some effect on mail received then bounced back to a custom recipient.

Other than those two things, I don't know what the problem could be...

This option is not currently available in Exchange, and is only achievable through configuration on the client. You will need to create a server-based rule in Outlook to forward messages to a specified email account.

I have outside sales reps with their own email accounts, i.e. xxx@hotmail.com. This is what I have done. I created a custom recipient account only for the users, i.e. xxx@companydomain.com and on the gereral tab click the "Email" button and enter the SMTP address of the user, i.e. xxx@hotmail.com. On the "E-Mail Address tab you have the email address(s) you want for your domain of course, i.e. xxx@companydomain.com. Basically you don't need a regular Exchange account. Good Luck!
