It does still work in Exchange 2003. I have half a dozen sites doing it and have written the process on my web site: http://www.amset.info/exchange/contacts.asp
The key thing is to ensure that the correct email address is primary - both on the email addresses tab and on the Exchange General tab. If you don't, then the email either loops or doesn't go anywhere. Haven't tried it on Exchange 2007 yet - another thing on the to do list.

I remember at my old place we used Exchange 2000 and we setup contacts that would have the primary SMTP address setup as an external email address and then a secondary as an email address that was inside our organization. When you sent emails to the contact it would route the email to the external primary SMTP address. For example if I have a contact called "Neil Test" and its primary email address is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and then a secondary email address as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" if it received emails from the outside world destined for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" it would reroute them to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I've tried setting it up this way in our Exchange 2003 organisation but it doesn't appear to be working, I am sure we have done it before in my previous company and it worked fine, we don't want to have to setup mail enabled users for every email user we want to route elsewhere.
