Sure they do - and worse yet, your internal users will have no idea that
their presumed secure internal communications are being forwarded to
some unknown external mail system across the internet.

I have to do something like this in my organization and I handle it like
this:

 

I created a Contact in AD, and assigned it the remote user's home email
address.  Then on the users actual Domain Account, I set the Exchange
General > Delivery Options >  Forwarding Address  to forward to the AD
Contact.  You can have email delivered locally as well so there's a copy
here as well as sent to their home.  I've been doing it off and on for a
couple of years without any problems.

 

I suppose that if the home user had a rule to forward things back to the
office as well, it could create a loop, but I don't see that happening.
They certainly don't want a rule to forward dirty jokes from their Uncle
Tasteless to the corporate office.

Oh mighty Exchange gurus,

 

We have a user wanting to fwd all emails to an external address.  We run
Exchange 2003 and fwd to external is turned off.  If I turn this on,
will we be vulnerable to a mail loop?  We run one domain only.  

 

I see this here:  ESM > Global Settings > Internet Message Formats >
Default (which has * listed at the Domain) > Properties > Advanced >
"Allow auto foward" is unchecked.

Thanks,
Devin
