An external sender would need some SMTP address, right? Internally, you can forward that wherever you want. I'm not sure what application this would be beneficial for.
In Exchange2000, you can create a silly SMTP address. In fact a mailbox requires some SMTP address in order to function. This could be the patented [EMAIL PROTECTED] If someone knows this name, they can send to the mailbox. William -----Original Message----- From: Yurchuk, Michael W.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 1:19 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: forwarding question Hello all, I'm fairly new to the exchange administration I was asked if it is possible to (i.e. make it work) set up Exchange 5.5 to forward an email sent to one address to another completely different email address on a non-public email server. I did it by creating a mailbox on my exchange server setting it to use an alternate recipient which I set as a custom recipient that I created pointing to the internal mail address Ex. external customer emails [EMAIL PROTECTED] - the MSexchange server receives the message in the root mail box, the root mailbox has an alternate recipient which is a custom recipient that I created of [EMAIL PROTECTED] They don't want to make the internal mail server addresses public so that is not an option. I need to know if there is any other simple way of doing it, something I have overlooked. This works and is fine to manage for 1-10 email addresses but once there are 500+ different addresses it may get very confusing, especially if someone new has to come in and administrate it. I thought that maybe there is something built into exchange 5.5 for this. If this is a feature of E2K it would be nice to know, maybe I can get them to spring for an upgrade.
