Hello all, Have a quick questions concerning email forwarding. I am using Exchange 2007. I have a client, Jim, who is requiring that one of his employees emails, John, be forwarded to BOTH Jim's internal exchange account and John's external gmail account. I have John's gmail account created as a mail contact and am able to successfully forward to it when I use it as the only forward. I created a distribution group and made Jim's internal and John's gmail members. When I set this group as the forwarding option, only Jim receives the forwards to his internal account, as for some reason John's gmail does not receive the forward as well. Naturally, I need the messages forwarded to both. Hopefully I explained this clearly enough. Is there something I'm missing in my configuration of the distribution group? Thank you much!

I'm not sure what is not right with the distribution group but while reading your post I thought "Transport Rule". Someone may be able to tell you what you need to do for the distribution group, but if not, I think you have another option. In summary, when a message is sent to X, redirect (that's that term used in the rule wizard) it to the internal email address of the boss and the external email address of X.

I ran into simlar issue, somehow the DL doesn't, targetaddress of the target and forwarding option do not play right. Instead of using the forward option, I created a transport rule instead to forward to the DL and worked fine.James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

Hi, I also think a transport rule is a better way.
