Forwarding from exchange to imail user???

[Jeavo]

Can this be done???,

We have a Exchange 200 server running but only certain people such as IT Dept./managers and directors only use exchange everyone else just uses standard imail server using various clients.
My problem being my manager uses Linux more than windows using his imail e-mail address but when i go to forward his exchange mail onto his imail e-mail address it only allows me to forward onto other exchange users??,
So i tried to create another account thru active directory using the imail e-mail address but then relised that i couldn't use the log-in account anyway as it would be a duplicate of his account noprmal account???

any ideas i would be grateful.

Thanx.

hi Jeavo

If u are runing exchange 2000 u must have active directory,
so go to active directory Users and Computers, go users create a new contact (right Click) with your manager internet mail adress and then foward your exchange msg to that contact.

this should solve it

Thanx for that mate but thats what i tried,

the user i want to forward the mail too from exchange is obviously already created i've created a test user for the purpose but as you can not duplicate user logon's this isn't possible.
