Go to exchange general and delivery options. You've got the forwarding options there and choose the valid contact. You have an option as well to leave a copy of the message in the mailbox. -----Original Message----- From: Omppu [mailto:Omppu@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 11:53 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] forwarding http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hello can some one tell me how to forward emails that are address to an account on my exchange 2000 to an external address?? regards O, ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: robert@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') **************************************************************** This mail was content checked for malicious code or viruses by Mail security.
