Jason, This article will help you. http://msexchange.org/tutorials/MF015.html -----Original Message----- From: Jason Toews [mailto:jasont@xxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 12:05 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Mail Fowarding HELP!! http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hello all, I'm having a problem with our E2K server, our mail flows properly, except when I want to forward a message to an external address using a rule. In outlook 2000, I created a rule the when messages arrive from a selected recipient, it's supposed to forward it to external address, but it doesn't fire. I've tried having it forward to a contact with the external address and I tried creating a mail-enabled contact and finally created a user with the external stmp address, however it doesn't forward the message out. I can directly email the external address but not forward to it. I noticed one interesting point. I enabled message tracking on the Exchange server and I sent an email directly out to the external smtp address - which was recieved. The logs looks like this: /O=HSD/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=USER /O=HSD/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=USER /O=HSD/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=USER alias@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Then I manually ran the rule with the rule wizard and it appeared to send the message out and the message was displayed in the sent items. However I never recieved that external mail, and when I checked the log it looked like this. /O=HSD/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=USER /O=HSD/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=USER /O=HSD/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=USER But the alias@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx smtp address is not visable in the log. In the virtual smtp server queue's,it nevers lists the domain it was supposed to be sent to. The domain does show up it I directly email the address, like it should. I'm I doing something really wrong here?
