Mr Ong,
You started asking a questions in someone else's thread. This is what we
called "thread hijacking". At least have the decency to:
1. Change the subject line to indicate your problem/question.
2. Delete all the other mails at the bottom of the you email body.
This is rude and not respectful.
Regards
Sarbjit Gill

Hi,
I think I understand what he means.
This is something that Exchange has a problem. Having used Exchange from
5.5 to 2000 to 2003, I have been facing this problem for the past few years.
Here is the scenario at my company. One user left and his mailbox is
deleted; before he left he requested all his emails route to his new email
address for two weeks. Question is How to do it?
Here is the possible solution:
1. If his mailbox is still around, just a forwarding rule (using
Outlook client) is sufficient.
2. If his mailbox is already deleted, then create a Contact and put his
new email address there. However this only solve the internal mail problem,
internal users saw his contact in the GAL and send the mails to him. But
what about external mails from internet? Can these external mails route to
his new email address?
3. By chance I experiment by putting his old email address in this
Contacts, the logic is the Exchange will look at the old email address,
route the mail to the Contact, then saw the new email address and forward
it. This seems to work but it feels kind of strange.
4. I even create a new smtp connector and put his old email address as
the "scope", then forward the mails to the smtp server of the domain of the
new email address. This can work but it just not possible. If I need to
forward mails for more than one user, this is not logical.
Over here we have a very strict security policy that all users who have left
we must delete their mailbox. So step 1 is not possible,
I used Sendmail before, the Unix admin will know what I means. Sendmail
allows us to rewrite the mail header, that is the Sendmail will pick out the
old email address, replace it with a new one based on the virtusertable.
This solution is much cleaner.
I have been exploring to do something similar to Sendmail in Exchange. If
you have a FE server, if the mail can re-route at the FE, why let the mail
go all the way to BE then out again? This will lessen the load on the BE
server.
Over here I am considering to put a Sendmail or Postfix server as the smtp
gateway to resolve this issue.

Even the simple client side rule from your outlook, should meet your
requirement.
Create an outlook client rule and keep it on the server side.
1. Check for incoming emails based on sender's address
2. Forward the messages to the internet email address.

It depends on your needs.
For what purpose?
a) Receive mail in both the Exchange mailbox and at another Internet address
b) All mail redirected to another Internet address
Who is in charge of maintaining this forwarding configuration?
1) The user
2) The Exchange administrator
