I assume that Surfcontrol is running on an IIS SMTP server... Regardless, on the Surfcontrol box (ex02.crossoil.com), have you explicitly assigned the IP address(es) of your Exchange server(s) the ability to relay mail off of ex02.crossoil.com? Looks like the Surfcontrol server/appliance sees the forwards as attempted relays. It is blocking the messages from being delivered. Also, back to your description - how have you configured this auto forward? I assume that you have created a mail enabled Contact for 'User A' with their external e-mail address (verizon.com or whatever). Then you should go to 'User A's' domain account in ADUC and then select Exchange General, Delivery Options and select Forward To: (User A Contact) and check the box 'Deliver messages to both forwarding address and mailbox.' This will allow your exchange servers to perform the forwarding so the messages will originate from the server IP address, which is given relay permissions on your SurfControl box.

What happens if you forward to another SMTP address other than Verizon? Sounds more like a filter thing than an Exchange issue. Look at the logs on your Surfcontrol server and see what is happening to the forwarded e-mail. If you search for the forwarded message in the 'Message Tracking Center' do you see that the message was handed off to the Surfcontrol server/appliance? If so, this further verifies that there is some type of filter that is preventing the message delivery. Chris ________________________________ From: Conley P. Shairrick [mailto:conleys@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 10:23 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] SMTP Connector http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have a Default SMTP Connector setup in Exchange 2003 that forwards all my email through my smart host so that my Surfcontrol email filter can filter outgoing mail. After I created this, routing through my Surfcontrol email filter works but, it broke auto forwarding email for one of our users external Verizon account. We have him setup in AD to forward all his email to a external contact we have setup for him. I can delete the SMTP Connector and restart the SMTP virtual server and the forwarding starts working. Any suggestions on what I should do? We use OWA but this user wants to have his emails forward to his personal Verizon account. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Both the individual sending this e-mail and Cross Oil Refining and Marketing Inc. intend that this electronic message be used exclusively by the individual or entity to which it is intended to be addressed.This message may contain information that is privileged, confidential and thereby exempt and protected from unauthorized disclosure under applicable law.
