If you have the contact setup, you can do a lot more things with it, like have Exchange do the forwarding automatically. With a rule, you need to have your Outlook Client running. Also with a Contact, it will show up in the Global Addy Book, which some people may want - you can also hide it from the address book, too.

Why not simply set up a rule to forward directly to an external address? Why bugger about setting up a contact object when this is not necessary? I can think of several disadvantages to working this way but not a single advantage, am I missing something? > -----Original Message----- > From: Rosser, Richard (Exchange) > [mailto:richard.rosser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 26 June 2002 15:57 > To: [ExchangeList] > Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Forwarding emails > > > http://www.MSExchange.org/ - Re-Vamped! > > > I would setup a contact of sorts adding his external > email and then setup a rule with Outlook > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Rogers [mailto:andrew.rogers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 9:55 AM > To: [ExchangeList] > Subject: [exchangelist] Forwarding emails > > http://www.MSExchange.org/ - Re-Vamped!
