Hi all,

I have this problem on a SBS2000 and also on the SBS2003 version.
Forwarding (AD Users, Exchange General, Forwarding) to an external contact
works fine.
Sending Mail directly to that contact also works fine!
But when I ask exchange to deliver the messages to both the forwarding
address and Exchange mailbox, the forwarding doesn't work anymore. :-(

Strange thing is that this used to work on several servers, but now (maybe
due to a service pack update?) this doesn't work anymore for new forwardings!

Does anyone has suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
G!

I have this working without any problems !

1. Your normal user account should be Mailbox enabled (as default).
2. Create a dummy login account (ie: Z-MyExternalAc) but do NOT enable
the mailbox facility.
3. Give this dummy login a Strong Password to prevent people trying to
use it and give it your required external email address.
4. Enable mail forwarding on your real Mailbox user to the dummy login.

Kind Regards,
