Bill, They have about 35 users.
The hosting provider's documentation suggests: 1. Create a hosted account ([email protected]), this also creates another email address of [email protected]. 2. Create a contact in AD for user1 such as User1Hosted that forwards to [email protected]. 3. Modify user1's local exchange properties to forward to this newly created contact. I have done all of this and get the previously mentioned failures and successes depending on the senders location. Is this what you were thinking?
