Hello friends -
We are running Exchange Server v5.5, and I'm trying to set things up so that each user can forward email to whatever address they want. I came across this article, and made the following modification in the registry:
-----------------------------------
Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 2 (SP2) adds more flexibility to the IMS to allow separate settings for forwarding and replies. The Microsoft article "XFOR: Internet Mail Service Does Not Allow Auto Forwarded Messages" ( kb/articles/q192/9/82.asp) describes this update. To enable automatic forwarding while blocking automatic replies, back up the Registry, run regedt32.exe, and locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\MSExchangeIMC\Parameters key.
Choose Edit, Add Value to add a new value with these settings:
Value Name: AlwaysAllowForwarding
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1
You must make this change on all servers that host the IMS. Then, users can forward their mail automatically to an ISP mail account without needing the administrator to intervene. Outlook 97 and Outlook 98 users must use the Inbox Assistant, not the Rules Wizard, because the Rules Wizard in these versions of Outlook can't forward a message with the original headers intact. In Outlook 2000, you use the new Redirect action in the Rules Wizard to forward a message.
------------------------------
It looks as if each user must be using an Outlook Client (Outlook 2000; Outlook XP, etc.) in order to take advantage of forwarding their own email. We're at a university, and many of our users use the Outlook Web Access to access email. After making this change, I checked the "options" area of Outlook, and couldn't seem to find any area about forwarding messages.
Does anyone know of a way to allow the user to forward email to an account that they specify without an administrator's intervention and using the Web Access? Am I on the right track here?
Thanks much for the help!
-Michael.
