We need to take an e-mail address sent to our domain and forward it on to another external e-mail address. We want e-mail to address@ourdomain.com to get forwarded to address@anotherdomain.com. We use Exchange 2003 server. How can I?

To specify an alternate recipient, open the mailbox properties page, click Modify on the Delivery Options tab in the Alternate Recipients section, and then choose the mailbox to which you want the mail to be redirected.

Enjoy!

We're trying to use an alternate recipient that is on another domain and another e-mail server. Alternate recipient only works for a mailbox in your domain.

Create a "contact" and have the mailbox forward to the contact. The contact will need to be configured with appropriate external SMTP address.

Just to be clear, what I mean by "forward" is configure the alternate recipient as the newly created contact.

The steps is outlined
1)create a new contact with the e-mail of the forwarding address of the recipient.
2)Open the properties of the user whose mail you want forwarded /properties(NB open advance properties)
3)I do not recall the exact dialogue but I think it is in Exchange advance.
From here look in delivery options and here you can redirect mail to the address of the contact you created.You have another option to redirect mail to external address only or to both addresses ie You exchange store and your external address.That option is yours.I will repost the exact interfaces when I am on my ESM.Hope this helps.
Step 2 above.Open DSA.msc.Open The user properties whose mail you want redirected/Exchange General/Delivery options.
3)In Forwarding Address option/Enable forward and browse to the external contact you created earlier.
4)To ONLY redirect do not check deliver to forwarding address and mailbox

Hope this helps.

Where does the new contact get created?? a new user in active directory? because the only option I have to choose an alternate recipient is a user in the active directory.

by azizhakim

You create a contact in the desired container,in my case I have an OU named external Contacts and all contacts reside in that container.Just right the container OR ON ACTION FROM DSA.MSC AND YOUR SELECTION IS THERE ,JUST CREATE A NEW CONTACT
