how do you add a forwarding email address? 1

[shannown8]

I have an employee that has an email address with our company in our Exchange server but wants the email to be forwarded to a different email account. Any ideas? I'm new to the exchange server -

example - hisname@mycompany.com forward to hisname@yahoo.com

Create a "custom recipient" with SMTP address as "hisname@yahoo.com", then in the recipient propterties of "hisname", go to the "Delivery Options" tab and add the "custom recipeint" as the "Alternative recipient".

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

You should ask new questions in new threads, otherwise it get too complicated.

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.
