copy/forward outgoing email to an other internal recipient
Is there any way to copy/forward outgoing emails from one user to another, while the original still proceeds to the orignal destination. Thanks Dave

You can use Transport Rules in Exchange 2007 to achieve this. The article below will give you an introduction to transport rules and how to configure a certain rule, but it doesn'tcover your exact request. However, if you look at Figure 7 regarding the actions you take on a rule, you can see that you can elect to copy the message to another recipient, etc, so it should be fairly easy to setup your configuration. Transport rules are easily configurable to suit your environment. http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Transport-Rules-Exchange-Server-2007.html

Sorry, left out a bit of vital information, the Exchange in question is running on SBS 2003.

It's difficult to journal a single user since journalling in E2K3 is applied at the store level. See this: http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Implementing-Exchange-2003-Message-Journaling.html That's guaranteed to get all messages though, but for all users. Other methods of copying a single user can lead to problems where the person copied on the message could inadvertently send back read receipts and other things like that. Another option is a 3rd party tool to journal for an individual user: http://www.ivasoft.biz/sj.shtml HTH.

Hi i have set-up this sort of rule with exchange 2007. But, when checking the outgoing mails (which are stored in a private mailbox), a read-receipt is send to the author. How can i stop this ? i've tried to set-up a new rule to delete these read-receipt, but it doesn't work. it seems that read-ceceipt are not performed like an emailby the transport rule. i've tried with the anti-spam, it doesn't work. Thanks

If the author receives a read receipt, what is the problem with that, IF they know their mail is being copied to someone else? If someone else needs a copy, let the sender have the discipline to CC or BCC the other in it. These practises sound more like spying on a user without them knowing.

Hi All users know that outgoing mails are stored for check (chief's decision) i want to suppress the read-receipt because it is generating lot of traffic (there is a huge volume of outgoing mails). Code Block If someone else needs a copy, let the sender have the discipline to CC or BCC the other in it. no, it must be done automatically. so is there any solution with exchange 2007 ? why read-receipt can be catch by transport rule or antispam ? thanks

As long as they know, there is no (legal) problem of course. If there is no real need for Read Receipts, there normally never is, and which is always a bad idea anyway because of potential spam issues, I would suggest you disable them globally.

and what do you think about the read-receipt can't be catch by a transport rule or anti-spam ? are them not considered as normalemails ? thanks

Yes they are considered as normal mail, but that is not what I mean by a potential spam issue. One of the tricks spammers use is to send mass-mails to companies, read-receipts confirm the existance of an addres, out-of-office too. NDR's confirm the opposite, meaning, whatever does not NDR, must exist.
