I now believe I'm on the right track anyway. I have created a custom recipient and allowed that custom recipient to send internet e-mail on my system. When I did this I was able to send a message to him fine with receiving the undeliverable.
-----Original Message----- From: Friese, Casey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 9:33 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Fowarding of E-Mails Setup is Exchange 5.5 sp4 on NT 4.0 sp6a I have a user that has a local mailbox on an exchange server. His mailbox is setup to forward all incoming e-mails to his internet e-mail account. Whenever someone that is not native to our exchange organization (ie, from the internet) sends a message to his local mailbox an undeliverable message is bounced back to them with the description of "...restriction in the systems prevented delivery". This message only appears when users try to send internet e-mail but do not have the required rights to do so. So, here's my question(s). Since I have my site relay secured is this the reason that people on the internet receive the bounced message from the system administrator? Why wouldn't they receive an "Unable to relay message" If this is so, is there anyway to get around this without a)opening up myself as a relay or b)creating a custom recipient for every person that e-mails him and giving that custom recipient rights to send internet e-mail. Let me know if I'm completely off track and should be looking in a different direction.
