Forwarding from Public Folder

[ikpa]

I saw the last post but this is slightly different. I have a public folder that has an smtp address hence emails can be sent to this folder. My client wants to have those emails that have the smtp address of the folder in the "To" field to be forwarded to another email address that is outside of the company but if it is in the "CC" or "BCC" it should not be forwarded.
One: is it possible to forward emails sent to a folder that has an smtp address
Two: If it is possible how can I forward mails with the smtp address only in the "To" field to the outside address

Thanks

Answer One: yes you can forward from distribution list or in your term "folder".

Answer Two: You need a third party program. The "forward" really works like a "copy", so whatever gets in one mailbox gets "copied" to another mailbox. In terms of "customized mailbox for internet smtp, it will be routed outbound by the IMS. So, to forward only the mail with the "To" field you need a third party program such as GFI Mail Essential to sort them thru.

what we have done is to associate the public folders with smtp addresses so it is not the distribution list. If there is a way to forward even anything in here that would be helpful.

My mistake for not paying attention. Sorry

Back to your problem, I think the only way you can forward a public folder email is with a third party program, especially when you only what to forward email with the public folder email address on the "TO" field.
