Forward emails from specific domain in Exchange

Question

Our Exchange server handles emails for @ourdomain.com (for example).

We have multiple clients that will send emails to our [email protected] email address and we want to configure server-side rules that will forward emails from each client's domain to a different email address within our exchange server.

For example:

[email protected] sends an email to [email protected] and we forward it to [email protected]

[email protected] sends an email to [email protected] and we forward it to [email protected]

...and so on.

It would be nice if we can additionally stop the email arriving in the [email protected] mailbox, but that is not a specific requirement.

We have a rule setup in Outlook that sort of works, but it doesn't do all from a domain only specific email addresses. It does work when Outlook is not running which is a start.

I realise it would be easier to give each client a partiuclar email address and have them email straight to that rather than all use the same, but this is what I have been asked to setup.... :S

Solution

Think you can do this through transport rules. On your Exchange Management Console, under Organization Configuration -> Hub Transport -> Transport Rules. If you set the rule to something like,

When any of the recipients in the To field is [email protected] and When the from address contains client01, redirect to [email protected].

The redirect should mean it doesnt go into the mailbox as well

You might need to restart your microsoft exchange transport service on your hub transport server to get it to work.
