Yep, cheers for that and to Simon Butler, this is how I figured it should work though for some reason its not working, doh! I am sure that I am creating the contacts correctly, setting the external email address as the primary and the internal email address as the secondary email address.
When I create the contact and it asks me for the email address I put in "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which is my own personal email address, then I go and edit the contact after unticking the automatically update the recipients and adding a secondary email address of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which is internal to our exchange 2003 infrastructure. When I send an external email it seems to get delivered with no error's but the email is not getting bounced back out like it should do. Hmmm, never had this problem before! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pat Richard Sent: 02 January 2007 15:43 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Using contacts to forward emails externally. That's how it works in 2003 as well. I've got almost 1000 mail enabled contacts at one client, and they're all setup that way. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil Doody Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 10:31 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Using contacts to forward emails externally. Hmm, completely lost me there, I know what an open relay is though I'm not sure what its got to do with what I'm trying to do? Are you suggesting that the reason it worked at my old place was because they had open relay and that would allow it to work? To explain further what I'm trying to achieve. I have an exchange 2003 server that is responsible for the mail domain remploy.co.uk, for some [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to redirect emails to another server. In my previous company we setup a contact that would have its primary email address as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then the secondary email address would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] If someone was to send an email in destined for [EMAIL PROTECTED], it would redirect the email to the primary email address which was [EMAIL PROTECTED], this doesn't appear to be working how I remember it though. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fyodorov, Andrey (Citco) Sent: 02 January 2007 15:25 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Using contacts to forward emails externally. Sounds like a[n] [open] relay situation. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil Doody Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 10:08 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Using contacts to forward emails externally. 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.
