Greetings,

How would I, using Exchange Server 2000, route an external email message sent to company@companyname.com to an internal address?

Our previous email package, MDaemon, allowed a routing rule to be implemented where all incoming email messages are examined for certain criteria.

Upon finding these criteria, the email message is automatically routed to an internal address.

How can I achieve the same thing in Exchange Server 2000?

Thanks in advance,

Dominic
 
If your asking what I think you are asking it may be fairly simple. By default Exchange 2K answers to http and pop3 so, If the server has a public IP address all you need is a DNS entry on a public name server to direct traffic back to the IP address. Where I am, we have the Web site hosted externally and use thier DNS to direct mail back to mail.companyname.com and thus we have external mail directed to our internal/external mail server. I'm am working on getting this through a router/firewall in Exchange 5.5. Any tip there would be appreciated.
