Dear All,
We are running Exchange 2k on Windows 2k Advanced server, and using the Active Directory as the exchange users mailboxs. Do you know how to Forward any incoming mail to a certain mailbox to another external "Internet" mail. I want the configuration to be at the server level not on the client.

Regards,

Ammer

Here's how I do it. First I create a contact in AD Users & Computers with the external email address. Then open the user that you want the mail to be forwarded for. Go to "Exchange General" tab, click on "Delivery Options" tab. Under Forwarding Address section click "Forward to:" Click the "Modify" button and find the contact you made. Then put a check mark in "Deliver message to both forwarding address and mailbox" if you want the mail to go to both.
Works everytime. Then I go back to ADUsers & Computers and go properties of the contact I made and on the "Exchange Advanced" tab put a check in "Hide from Exchange address Lists" So no one see it in the Global address list.

Hope this helps
Rob

Using Active Directory click on the Exchange General tab then select the Delivery Options button.

Forwarding can then be selected from the Forwarding Address option.
