Send e-mail to different domain

Hello all,

I have a situation with an employee who recently joined a new company, but she still has a role within our company so she stills needs access to her e-mail.

What I did was setup a rule in Outlook to forward all incoming mail to her new mail address at her new company. Problem is, she sometimes gets confused and hits Reply from Outlook which causes her reply to come back to her e-mail address at our company and not the original sender.

Is there a way I can just tell Exchange that all mail for that e-mail address should be routed to a different address?

Thanks for your time!
 
Use a Contact object, delete the SMTP address from her old mailbox, and assign it to the Contact object (which will have a primary SMTP address of her real, new external email address).
 
Thanks for the reply. Quick question though. I can still keep her AD account active right? This way she can log on to our domain still when she physically visits our site?
 
You can, but she'd have to have a different Primary SMTP address which might confuse her even more. :-(
Unless you simply delete her mailbox of course.

SMTP addresses must be unique, so only one object in the directory can own it. Having said that, if you want to keep her account (and the mailbox with it), you could make this an alternate recipient of the contact, and then it could get a copy of any inbound email sent to the address, so she could also deal with it when logging on locally.
