MS Exchange Email Forwarding

Hello, I have a weird question here. I am running Exchange 2003 and would like to mess with email forwarding. I have a primary account jsmith@company.com that receives hundreds of emails daily, some internal and most external. What I would like to do is find a way to forward all external email to a second account "jsmith2". That way, I can focus on all internal issues with the primary account, and have others log in to the second account to take care of external issues. And possibly, if there's a way so that any email sent from "jsmith2" can be sent "On behalf of John Smith".

Is there a way to do all this? Thanks in advance!

 

OK, my friend.
Although I don't have the answer right now, but I'm replying you because I'm interested in MS Exchange 2003, and I'm going to deploy it next week.
Well, you can't expect to find a large number of people practicing it simply because it needs an organization, or let's say at least a small enterprise. Of course you can install it on two computers only, but why do it the hard way when you have POP3 Service that would be best in such situations?

If till that time you didn't get your answer, I'll be happy to give it a try.
But I think it has something to do with creating a "policy" for "recipients".

BTW, what do you mean by "On behalf of John Smith"? Is it just a display phrase? It should be simple if this is the case.

Amjad!

 

Thanks for the reply, but I have not figured this out yet. I did some researching and for the most part, I shouldn't have a problem with setting up permissions to have others read email from the main account, and I can set delegations to allow them to send on behalf of that user. I was hoping that there was a way to set up exchange so that I can restrict users from reading internal emails and just take care of the external ones.

I guess the only thing I really need to figure out now is how to set up Outlook to forward all external emails to another address. When messing with the rules, I was only able to set it up to filter all emails from a specific address (company.com), but hopefully I can set it up to do the opposite of that.
