How does that work exactly since the accounts are in the same address space 
on both the internal exchange server AND electricmail's hosting.  So eg. on 
the exchange server we have a mailbox enabled account hsibble@xxxxxxxxxx, the 
toronto office has a user billg@xxxxxxxxxx which is also hosted on 
Electricmail.  If someone in the Vancouver office sends an email to 
billg@xxxxxxxxxx, they get a DSN saying the user doesn't exist. I don't quite 
understand how I use a contact to tell exchange that an email address in the 
same dns domain is handled elsewhere.  Can you explain further?  I understand 
how to use contacts for addresses outside the same dns domain and already use 
them extensively with the blackberry users.
