Forward Emails to Multiple External Addresses.

Hello Friends,
I have read about forwarding emails incoming emails on exchange 2003 to multiple external email address.
Lets see how to get this done. :-)

Step 1:

We need to create Mail-Enabled contact for external email addresses.

Go to ADUC, right click on OU in which you want to create object, and point to "Contact"

Step 2:

Enter the required information.

Click Next.

Step 3:

Check "create an exchange email address" option and specify an alias name.

For email click ok "Modify" and you need to select "SMTP Address" from email type selection window.

Step 4:

Specify the external email address associated with this contact.

Click Next

Finish.

Step 5:

Same way create another Mail-Enabled contact and specify the other email address.

Step 6:

Now we will create a group that will hold out mail-enabled contacts that we have created.

Select OU and right click, point to group.

Sepcify the name and select group type as "Distribution"

Make this group also a mail-enabled group by enabling "create an exchange email address"

This completes contacts creating and group creation. You can see we have 2 Contacts with external email address and 1 group which is mail-enabled.

Step 7:

Now go to the user for whom you want to forward emails, and select properties for that user.

select Exchange general tab, and click on "Delivery options" button.

Next you will get a option to search the group that we want to add. Enter the group name and click ok.

Thats it, apply and close all properties windows.

Now whichever email comes to this users "Inbox" will be forwarded to external email addresses specified in contacts and which are added to this group.

Hope this was helpful to you.

Thanks for reading.

Regards,

Wasim.
