I was under the impression that setting up a CR as an alternate recipient is quite safe, because the message, as relayed, appears to be from the original sender, not the address it's relayed from. Because of this, any *mailbox is full*, or *user doesn't exist* messages go directly back to the original sender, not to the Exchange address for reforwarding.

Now see, I was always under the impression that using a CR was the lesser of two evils ( as opposed to simply forwarding by rule) and by using it, Exchange was better at detecting possible loops. (Not that I dont prefer OWA or VPN). Additionally, RFC 2821 specifies: "Simple counting of the number of "Received:" headers in a message has proven to be an effective, although rarely optimal, method of detecting loops in mail systems. SMTP servers using this technique SHOULD use a large rejection threshold, normally at least 100 Received entries. Whatever mechanisms are used, servers MUST contain provisions for detecting and stopping trivial loops" My questions: Does using a CR (Or Contact in E2k) put Exchange in compliance with 2821 and what is considered a "trivial loop" ? -- Or am I simply misunderstanding the RFC?

So what part of Daniel's suggestion did you not understand? The Custom Recipient is set up with an external e-mail address - his home e-mail address. You can then select that CR as the alternate recipient under delivery options and it will work once you uncheck "Do not allow autoreplies to the Internet" on your IMS. You asked for the easiest way - that is what was presented. However, as Daniel also said, the potential for mail loops increases greatly. If you choose to do this, don't come crying back to us if your server crashes from a loop. Management's job is to give you orders. Your job is to reply back why some of the orders don't make sense. If you do a good enough job, you will make them understand that it doesn't make sense. Make sure that legal has some input on this as well.

My issue is that management TOLD me to forward his mail (politics) Thank You, Robert Williams Senior Network Administrator Raypak, Inc.

Create a custom recipient representing his home account. Allow auto-forward under the IMC. This is not recommended, by the way: the potential for mail loops is large. Better would be to give him external access to his mailbox. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 12:41 PM Subject: Newbie question so please don 't bash me.. > What is the easy way to forward one of my users email to his pop3 home > account, cause under delivery options I can only select other exchange > users......where am I missing the boat on this? > > Thank You, > Robert Williams > Senior Network Administrator > Raypak, Inc. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Phone - 805-278-5363 > FAX - 818-464-6982 > www.raypak.com > > _________________________________________________________________ > List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm > Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp > To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ This message is private or privileged.
