Forwarding sent email

[stuart87]

Hi all

I have a client who has requested the possibility to forward any emails that are sent to another email account automatically. Is there a piece of software that can do this? They have a sbs2003 server with exchange 2003 if there is anything inside there.

Thank you in advance for any replies

If you open up the Active Directory Users and Computers, you can right-click on the OU/container that has the users in it and create a new Contact. Name it something unique and assign it the external SMTP address.

Now go into the properties of the user that you'd like to have mail forwarded for. Go into the Exchange General tab, go to Delivery Options, and configure the settings there to forward mail to that contact that you created earlier. You can decide whether you still want the mail to be delivered to the local mailbox as well, or whether you want it to only be forwarded. I assume that the former option would be your choice.

Thank you for the post

sorry what i really meant to say was the client wants email that every staff sends out to also go into another account so they can keep track of every email that their staff send out.

Then you need to set up a new mailbox account, and then turn on Journaling ("Archive all messages sent or received" on the General tab of the Mailbox Store Properties) on your server.

You will be able to log into that mailbox to view all mail transactions. Normally that "journaling" mailbox is used with 3rd-party archiving software.
