When i setup the inbox asst. to auto forward emails it will only do it inside the company but not to the net. is there a way to do this from the exchange admin? or what is blocking it from going offsite?

You need to go to internet mail service,
internet mail tab, go to advanced options.
Uncheck disable out of the office...
stop and restart imc service.
 
I want to know about auto forwarding through Exchange Admin.
Is thier any option in Exchange 5.5 Admin to automatticaly forward all incoming mails for RECEPIENT X TO RECEPIENTS A,B and C.

Make a distribution list that contains a,b,c then set the DL as alternate recipient for x.

That i have already tried,it works fine for A,B,C receipients,they receive incoming mails for recepientX.But the problem with this exercise is that when you go to client system and try to configure X on Outlook Express it gives an error message that X must be a mailbox on exchange server,although it works fine for A,B,C because they exist as mailboxes in exchange server.Try to resolve this.

DL acts as a receipient in exchange,i have created a DL named X in excahnge server then i made A,B and C as members of X.If i sent a mail to X it is disributed to A,B and C.I can configure A,B and C at client side through Outlook Express through POP3,but when i try to configure X it wants X to be a mailbox not a distribution list.If i create X as a mail box and make X1 a DL with A,B,C as memebers and then make X1 as alternate recipient of X then it works fine.Is it possible to configure DL through Outlook Express ?.
 
No you cannot connect a client to a DL. And yes you are correct, just make another mailbox for the client connection and add it to the DL so X is still the DL and you now have A,B,C & D as mailboxes. I was thinking you were trying to send to Custom Recipients with an external SMTP address rather than a Internal mailbox.

Thanks a lot Chris for clearing my doubt.I will be in touch with you ,because I am new to MS Exchange.

Is their any option in MS Exchange admin 5.5,so that if i send a mail from client which is configured for mailbox A on outlook express,a copy of it always received at some other client configured for mailbox B.In general wheather I can capture an outgoing mail from mailbox A at mailbox B

You should be able to set a default BCC at the client side (outlook/express.) In that fashion the BCC recipient will always get a copy of everything the outlook client sends.

I want to do this through MS Exchange Admin,so that client will not be able to add or remove this option.It will provide a cenralised control through exchange server.Do you think that is possible?

Thanks

pankaj
 
I dont know if you can set that up as a server side rule, does everyone need to send a copy to the same person? (Are you wanting an admin copy to see whats being sent out?) Or do you want a group of people to send BCC to their department manager, so you would have this group of people going here, that one to this other person...

I want to know about an option controllabe by MS EXchange Admin,so that a mail sent by client configured for mailbox A at exchange server is also sent to client configured for mailbox B without writeing in BCC.I want to control it through my exchange server so that User A will not permission to change the option at his/her hand.
suggest something about this.

For incoming mail this is easy, go into the mailbox "a" and set up alternate recipient "B" and choose to deliver to alternate recipient. This MAY also work for outgoing mail, but if so then the mailbox "A" outgoing mail would appear in the "Sent Items" folder for mailbox "B". I haven't the ablility to test this right now, my test exchange server is torn down.

Alex
 
I've tried this before and it wouldn't work. Alternate Recipient worked fine for messages received by a mailbox, but wouldn't handle anything sent from the mailbox.

David
 
Ok, now we know that the Alternate Recipient won't work...

Pankaj,

First, which way are you trying to set this? (all to Admin, or each group to their manager?)
I have tested the rules functionality in Outlook and it works perfect for copying mail, but it notes "this is a client side rules and will only work when Outlook is running" which is what you'd expect (as they cannot send mail when outlook is turned off.) If you are going to do an admin copy, then create a rule to send a copy to a folder in the public folders which does not permit anyone to delete items.

If you want to monitor who is sending what information, I recommend you buy a snooper program (there are so many good ones to choose from...) and install this to monitor all traffic on your internet connection. Now you know in/out mail contents and which porn sites your users prefer.

I will try to do that.What Router you are using for pulling of mails to MS Exchange Server.Presntly I am using POPBeamer 3.28,but it is a 30 day's demo version only.They dont have any reseller in India.Can you suggest me some other product,which is easily avalable.

regards

We have our mail being routed through a general mailbox at the ISP, which we pull to our servers using an ETRN command as necessary (it only collects when our connections are down for maintainance.) We have a simple Netopia router that does NAT and feeds the ports through an additional server for packet scanning (McAfee Webshield, and SurfControl...which is one of those good snoopers for internet access) before that server NAT's to the rest of our network (including exchange servers.)
