Ok, this must be obvious and I'm just missing a step....

JoeUser works 25% here (cdl.unc.edu) and 75% at another department
(med.unc.edu).  That other dept is NOT using exhange and is NOT part of our
NT network. (sigh)  We are using Exchange 5.5 sp4.

JoeUser used to have other mail forwarded here.  So 
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]  --> joeuser

Now Joeuser wants to use med.unc.edu email (don't ask me why, but I have to
do it)
  but:
   1) must access old email box on my server using owa
   2) must have [EMAIL PROTECTED] forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So I did the following:
   1) renamed joeuser to joeuser.old
      removed all occurences of joeuser from my dist-lists (DL's)
      made [EMAIL PROTECTED] the default "reply" smtp address
      deleted [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the reply smtp address
   2) created new custom recepient, internet address
         joeuser which forwards to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

tested this on friday and it seemed to work well. Was able to send mail from
America online to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it went to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
when I sent mail from Outlook to joeuser it went to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Today he got new mail on my server (joeuser).  He claims he can't get into
OWA now. (how does he know he got new mail on my server if he can't get into
OWA?  He had a friend email him and he didn't get it.  When I checked
joeuser.old there WAS new mail)

What am I doing wrong?   Have I horribly complicated an easy task?

After you finish laughing please enlighten me!
