Email Redirect To External Works From External Not From Internal

[BDobson]

Hi All,

We're looking at the possibility of migrating from Exchange 5.5 over to Google Apps. At the moment I'm setting up a test bed for a few users and working on redirection.

I set this up on my own account as an Outlook Rule, and it works great from all senders from outside the domain. If someone outside sends me an email, the email I receive at both the internal (Exchange 5.5 domain) and the external (Google Apps hosted email) are identical in all respects.

If someone inside the domain sends me an email the "to" field is listed as my test email address, and all the cc information is stripped out of the email, making it useless.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what I could do to effectively redirect emails from inside the domain out to an external domain?

Thanks for any help you can provide,
Brian

Create a Custom Recipient for each person's Gmail account; and then set the CR as an Alternate Recipient of the mailbox. You can choose whether both the mailbox and the Gmail account (via the Custom Recipient) get a copy of emails sent t the mailbox, or just the Gmail account.

How many mailboxes do you need to do this for? If it's lots, you could do a bulk directory import to configure all the CRs and the Alt Recipient settings on the mailboxes.
