Email forwarding
I have a singe Exchange 2003 EE server. I want to create an SMTP email account that will forward to two of my AD user accounts. I would want anything addressed to the new account to go to those two users as well. Is this possible without creating another account?

Can you just create a distribution list with this email address, add the 2 users into the list?James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

If anyone from the outside world sends email to applicants@mydomain.com, I want it to go to the two users. Is this something I would do via a distribution list?

Yes, just create a DL with that address and add those 2 users to the group.James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

Yes, you can just create a group, add these two users as member of the group. Set forward emails to the group on applicants@mydomian.com . You can set forward by this way: Active Directory Users and Computers->choose user applicants->Properties->Exchange General->Delivery Options-> set forward the new group. After that, the two user can receive the email send to applicants@mydomain.com.

I was able to create the DL, give it the address applicants@mydomain.com, and add the users. Is that it? Do I have to create an applicants user account, or will anything sent to that address automatically go to those two users?

Looks like that is exactly was I was looking for. Thanks for the help James. One last question...is there a way to prevent the receipient from expanding the DL to expose the members?

If receipient is out of your domain then he/she will not be able to see member of this DL but if they are inside the same domain.. then recipeint can see the members of this DL. Thanks Amit

I was able to create the DL, give it the address applicants@mydomain.com, and add the users. Is that it? Do I have to create an applicants user account, or will anything sent to that address automatically go to those two users? No, my suggestion is this: <1> Create a group (let’s say: Forward@mydomian.com) <2>Add two users (who you want forward to ) in group(Forward@mydomain.com) <3>Follow this to set forward on user(applicants@mydomain.com ) Active Directory Users and Computers->choose user( applicants@mydomain.com) ->Properties->Exchange General->Delivery Options-> set Forward to group(Forward@mydomain.com ). Note: If you want applicants@mydomain.com can also receive the emails, you need check Deliver messages to both forwarding address and mailbox. After that, all emails send to user(applicants@mydomain.com) will forward to the users in group(Forward@mydomain.com) , and user will not see other users in the group, because all the emails (group member received)are just a copy for (email send to applicants@mydomain.com).
