I'm with Jim on this, and you have obviously seen the writing on the wall regarding security. I would also tell the user no. At the same time, inform your manager or IT director about this, so when the user goes crying, everyone is up to speed.

As far as I know, the only "secure" way to do this is to use the Blackberry Enterprise Server, which encrypts the mail from the server to the handheld. Of course, when he loses the handheld and he doesn't have a password on the handheld (much too inconvenient!)- there goes your security. BES is definite overkill for a single user...easier to just say "NO". -Jim Jim Holmgren MCSE, CCNA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Engineer Advertising.com We bring innovation to interactive communication.

Antonietti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 1:17 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Relaying to RIM type devices? Hello. I have been asked to establish an email message relay to a Blackberry RIM device. In short, the user wants all of his Exchange email messages relayed to his RIM. To do this I would create a Custom User using the RIM Address and then add this CU as an Alternate Recipient for the user's mailbox. I am, however, hesitant to proceed with this as it involves sending Corporate email outside the Corporation, in clear text. As well, I am worried about the other potential security dangers which I may not have considered. Is anyone else forwarding email messages to these types of devices? What are the inherent risks of doing so? Thank you!
