Exchange 5.5 -redirect email?

[mjbosko]

How can I redirect email addressed to an internal email address to an outside address using Exchange 5.5 and Active Directory?

I've found step sheets on how to do it using Exchange 2000, but it doesn't seem to apply in this environment.

Thanks!

What we do is:

Create an Internet email account on the Exchange server (On the File menu in Exchange Admin select 'New Custom Recipient...' and then 'Internet Address') and configure it as the alternate recipient on the user's mailbox (you have a choice of still having a copy of the email stored in the mailbox or not).

After that we go back to the Internet email account we just created and in the Advanced tab select 'Hide from Address Book' so it's not visible (as it's just there for forwarding) - you have to do this after making it an alternate recipient not before otherwise you won't be able to select it from the address book in order to make it an alternate recipient.

That was the ticket. Thanks Nick.
