yes, but it sounds you have selected to have the contact only receive mail from authenticated users. you need to change that to everyone.

Bill,
They have about 35 users.

The hosting provider's documentation suggests:
1. Create a hosted account ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>), this also creates another email address of [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. 2. Create a contact in AD for user1 such as User1Hosted that forwards to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. 3. Modify user1's local exchange properties to forward to this newly created contact. I have done all of this and get the previously mentioned failures and successes depending on the senders location.

Is this what you were thinking?

Thanks,
Eric

    you said small org.  How many users?  Is it too cumbersome to
    setup contacts for all the @hosted email addresses?

        Thanks for the help on this!  I am very surprized the hosting
        providers documentation didn't mention this at all!  I even
        contacted their support.  I've never had to forward to an
        external email address before.  Is there a work around for
        this without creating an open relay?  The Exchange server will
        be decomissioned once we have everyone moved to the hosting
        provider.

        Thanks again!

           This is completely normal. You’ll have to authenticate to

I am trying to help a small organization move to a hosted
        Exchange
           environment.  As part of the process we are trying to setup
           forwarding on the mailboxes that have been moved to the new
           environment.  If I setup forwarding to an internal mailbox
        on our
           Exchange server, forwarding works.  Once I configure the
        mailbox
           to forward to an external address ([email protected]
        <mailto:[email protected]>
           <mailto:[email protected]
        <mailto:[email protected]>>) and send from an external

           address the forwarding fails.  But if I send from an internal
           mailbox, it forwards to the externally hosted address.  I
        get the
           following error from the SMTP logs for externally sent email:

550+5.7.1+Unable+to+relay+for+user <mailto:[email protected]
        
<mailto:550%2b5.7.1%2bunable%2bto%2brelay%2bfor%[email protected]>>@
           <mailto:user@t <mailto:user@t>>hostedaddress.com
        <http://hostedaddress.com/> <http://hostedaddress.com/>


The logs show the initial SMTP connection from my external
        domain
           and then another connection frowarding/relaying to the hosted
           addresses.  I am not sure if this is normal for Exchange
        SMTP logs
           so hopefully someone else has seen this possibly.

I didn't design the system and unfortunately the admin doesn't
           seem to "remember" many of the details of the design.  They are
           using a Barracuda firewall/spam filter device which I've never
           personally used and don't have access to yet.


           Any help or ideas would be greatful so I can get this project
           completed soon hopefully :)


           Thank You,

           Eric
