I thought something could be pulled from the "How to mail enable a contact" section of the article.  Here is the exact method I use: Give the contact two addresses, one that is local: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and one that is external: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Set [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the primary address.  Mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED].   Only one object needs to be created in AD.
 
It sounds like the method used in the article and your method are identical.  Therefore, I'm not sure which part you think is confusing.

Hmmm...I think that the MS Q281926. reads a little strange and it might be confusing
 
If you read the Q article, it actually refers to using a "contact" and a "user" which means that you have to create them both.
 
I have always created a "x-Joe" contact with the users X-ternal address and then a AD user with our company email address. Then I use the exchange general tab , and add the X-contact to the "delivery options" forward box. Since the "mail enabled contacts" don't have the delivery Tab...
 
Your method does seem to work, but id be curious how the email is actually being redirected;
Cheers

If you search google for "mail enabled contact" the first thing that comes up is q281926.

Thanks for the reply, but have you by chance read this in an article or KB?  I just know my boss and would like to present him with hard facts.  How long have you been using/used this method for forwarding mail?  If you don't do it like this anymore, do you just create a mailbox and create a mail-enabled contact to forward to?
 
My boss thinks it is best to do the mailbox and contact, but I think it's just waiting for more problems to happen.
 
Thanks again Joe

Sorry guys I know this is a stupid question, but I am working for a new company, tomorrow is day 2.  From what I can find on technet/google articles,  I can use a mail-enabled contact to forward messages coming to my domain to another domain, ie [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwards to [EMAIL PROTECTED].  I don't think I would have to setup a mailbox, but figured I would check with you guys.  I have done some testing, and this does seem to work fine without the mailbox, but my boss wants to KNOW that this is how it is supposed to work, not just working for some "mysterious" unknown magical force, ie the "Laser Guided Packet-Finder."   I have only been able to test this on my lan, as I am currently migrating from BSDI 4.2 Sendmail with Qpopper to Exchange 2000 sp2 with the exact same domain name.  When I give the go, hopefully by Wednesday, I need to have this live and running.

 

Let me know what you think

 

Thanks,
