Re: mail-enabled contact...(Revisited and rephrased)
After rereading my
previous message I realized that I didn't say what I was trying to do
correctly, and hoped to run it by you guys again. My real problem
is that I don't understand completely the idea of how a mail-enabled contact
works.
INFO:
mydomain.com work
domain
[EMAIL PROTECTED] work
email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] home
email
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(You guessed it, my bosses email)
Ok, without creating a user in AD, I want to
create a mail-enabled contact called "ME" with external address of [EMAIL PROTECTED], internal is [EMAIL PROTECTED], created with every new
"object" in AD. There is NOT a user called "ME" nor any other
reference to this name in AD.
If someone sends from an email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED],
addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], will
automatically forward the message on to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? Or, as that
TechNet articles sort of implies, you must create a user to forward to a
mail-enabled contact? If people are currently just having a
mail-enabled contact, without a user/mailbox, have you read this somewhere,
or did you just find that out and say, wow, cool that works? During
testing this theory, we found that it does work internally, however we are
not live with this system, and the user database has already been
"migrated" over with existing aliases and addresses. (upgrading
from BSDI 4.2 Sendmail with popper so mail is probably not going to be
moved, most likely it will just be merged with new mail in OE via
POP3.)
Sorry I didn't ask properly the first time,
will try not to let it happen again.
TIA,
Mike

Been using same

all the time without any problems. Also did a MS led course on Exchange

mail-enabled contact...
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

Mike;

Get some sleep :)
Although the method that you use and that Jennifer suggested works. If
you look everywhere "official" like the MSQ article, it does state you have to
create 2 objects, the external address contact and the [EMAIL PROTECTED] user object or
mailbox, for it to work properly.
We
have AD and E2K running here and I tried what Jennifer mentioned in a earlier
email to test it out. I created the contact and gave it 2 email addy's ( I
cannot change the "primary" for some reason), but it actually works fine. my
only fear is that im not 100% sure where the re-direction is happening (haven't
found any good article explaining why) and would not want it to fail since
we are doing it for our board of directors...also by creating the users mailbox
and using the forward to alternate recipient we get to keep a copy of the mail
for security (makes the boss and lawyers quite happy)
So
really you can do it both ways... up to you to choose which
one

Jennifer,
Right, but that says how to forward from a
mailbox to a custom recipient. I am looking for something that says you
can just use a mail-enabled contact to forward messages to another email
address. Basically I want to have other people email my company,
but have the message forwarded on to a remote user at a different domain, ie
hotmail, netscape, aol etc. I don't want, or need, the remote user to
touch my network. They don't need access to anything, other than my ftp
site, which people have separate, none NT authenticated accounts. As Joe
said, he has used this method in the past with no worries. So I am
guessing that people use this, more than the 2 of us, so I would like to see
it documented.
Maybe I am not reading that article closely
enough, but I read that as you HAVE to have a mailbox enabled user to forward
messages.
just my thought before bed,

mail-enabled contact...
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,
Mike

RE: mail-enabled contact...
Title: Message 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 Carlos Garcia-Moran Senior Network Administrator Athenahealth, INC [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message-From: Jennifer Baker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 1:45 AMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: RE: mail-enabled contact...

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.

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 - Original Message - From: Joe L.
