I have a windows 2000 domain running windows 2000 servers and exchange 2000 with a 123.com domain name. My users have their email set up as jsmith@123.com. We purchased a small company the has NT 4.0 server and exchange 5.5. They have email as John@456.com. I need to forward the mail that comes into their acct's John@456.com to their new acct's at Jsmith@123.com from their Exchange 5.5 server to my Exchange 2000 server in a different domain. Please be specific.

Real simple - it's just like forwarding any mail from Exchange 5.5 to any other Internet address. First, create custom recipients on the Exchange 5.5 server for each user's new mail address (i.e., jsmith@123.com). Then, in the recipient propertiesfor each user on the Exchange 5.5 server, go to the Delivery Options tab. Down at the bottom, you'll see a section for Alternate recipient, with None selected. Select the blank box below that and then browse and select the custom recipient (i.e., jsmith@123.com) as the alternate recipient. There's also a checkbox here labeled something like "Deliver to both original and alternate recipient". Put a checkmark in this box ONLY if you want the mail delivered to both mailboxes. Otherwise, leaveit blank and the mail will be delivered only to the alternate (new) mailbox. Hope this helps!
