No, I had no idea. I recently wanted to do the opposite, Exch to Inet version, and was told that there was more to them than just the OS by their TS folks. I guess things have changed. Thanks for the info.

This is sort of off topic Martin - but did you know that you can wipe the OS off the "Internet version" of the BB and Install the Exchange version onto the device with their latest BES release? (v2.1 I believe) I did not know that until one of my users brought me an Internet version she purchased and we called RIM to see what our options were. -Jim -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 1:54 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Relaying to RIM type devices? Unfortunately it wont work with the internet blackberries which is what I think this user has. But this brings up the bigger picture which is "as a company are you prepared to support BB?". If you setup this user, you are now supporting the system. Therefore, you should be looking at this bigger picture. If you decide to support BB, you should be prepared to spend the money needed. Approx $2500 for the server SW, 300-400 per BB, and $39 a month per BB. You get 20 user CALs with the server SW, then you buy CALs in groups of 10 after that for approx $400 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 10:32 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Relaying to RIM type devices? You may want to consider buying the server redirector. Then, it would just go to the bberry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -K.Borndale IT Manager Sybari Software 631.630.8569 -direct dial 631.439.0689 -fax http://www.sybari.com "One man's ceiling is another man's floor" |---------+----------------------------> | | "Bob P. | | | Antonietti" | | | <Bob_Antonietti@O| | | ttawa.com> | | | | | | 02/18/2002 01:17 | | | PM | | | Please respond to| | | "MS-Exchange | | | Admin Issues" | | | | |---------+----------------------------> >----------------------------------------------------------------------- >---- -----------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: "MS-Exchange Admin Issues" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | cc: | | 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!
