Hi all,

In Unix, users can use a .forward file to redirect all mails from his
account to
any email account on the Internet. Can an exchange user do this??
How can it be done on Exchange 5.0?

Can the Exchange 5.0 Server do this for the user?

This can be done by setting up a custom recipient for the user's foreign
SMTP address. Then, go into the properties of the User's normal Exchange
Mailbox and there is an Alternate Recipient dialog that you can have all
mail sent to the Custom Recipient (the foreign SMTP address) or send copies
of the message to both.

A normal user would not be able to set this up, it would have to be done
from the Exchange Admin program, more than likely configured by the
administrator.

In Addition to what dustin said , users can also setup their own rules with
the inbox assistant (should they want to do it w/o the admin's assistant).

Denis,

I wish to install MS Exchange onto a remote NT workstation v4 pc at home so
as to check my office email over the weekends.

I am not certain what version of Exchange server we are running, but have
the following information.

The exe is Exchng32.exe size 83,776 bytes dated 3/11/96 version 4.00.837.6.

The opening splash screen states:
"MS Exchange for Win95 Version 4"

This is full Exchange, not MSMail.

So far, when I run the setup off our NT 3.5x server via DUN, it fails at
the 100% point, complaining about MPR.dll. I am told by the Lan techs here
it is only compatible with Win95. Is this so?

I have run setup using NT workstation with and without the current service
pack. Same lack of results each time.

I can run the setup on a spare home Win95 pc if absolutely necessary but am
hoping to install email on my NT pc.

I would appreciate any advice you may offer.

Exchange 4.0 and Exchange 5.0 both have this feature, but it can be a
little confusing.

In Exchange Administrator, first set up a custom recipient with the
e-mail account on the Internet that you want to forward to.  Then,
double-click on your Exchange mailbox and go to the "Delivery Options"
tab.  At the bottom is "Alternate Recipient".  Click modify and put in
the internet account.  If you want to have a copy in both mailboxes,
check "Deliver messages to both recipient and alternate recipient".  You
may want to hide the Internet Custom Recipient from the GAL.

Although this feature is available, the naming is misleading.  It would
make a lot more sense if it were called "forwarding".

Thank you, thank you.  This is the answer I've been looking for!  I've
nearly pulled all my hair out over "forwarding" at the admin. level.  Who
would have guessed it would be so unintuitive :-)
