How-to forward email from Public Folder to External email address?

[Unknown]

I have a Exchange 2007 server.

How can I set one of my public folder auto-forward email to the external
email address?

I created a rule in folder assistant and type the external email address in
TO box (a...@ddd.com). Exchange 2007 does not route the email out by SMTP.

How can let public folder re-direct email to external email address?
Thanks.

Create a mail-enabled contact in Active Directory for that address and
change the rule to send to that contact.

Thanks for your advise but not work work Folder Assistants.

For example, I created a mail-enabled contact name "ExtEmail" and set its
delivery options to the external email address a...@ddd.com and checked
"Deliver message to both forwarding address and mailbox"

If I send an email to ExtEmail, it can forward to a...@ddd.com

If I put ExtEmail in the Folder Assistant's Forward address, email deliver
to "ExtEmail" mailbox but DOES NOT forward to a...@ddd.com.

So strange!!!

Your statement is self-conflicting. A mail-enabled contact can't have a
mailbox, so you won't get the option you say you checked. Please verify
what you've done.

Sorry to make you confuse.

The "ExtEmail" is a mailbox not mail-enabled contact name.

Does "ExtEmail" need a mailbox? If not, remove Exchange attributes and
instead assign an e-mail address to it. That'll eliminate the unneeded
mailbox and cause the user account to forward mail to the external address
you specify when you assign the e-mail address. Recipient policy will
assign an internal e-mail address, or you can create your own manually
afterward in the E-Mail Addresses tab.

If "ExtEmail" doesn't need to exist for authentication, i.e., of nobody will
be logging into this account, then delete the user account instead and
create a contact and then mail-enable it.

I think i'm trying to do the same as Tony here.

What i'm trying to accomplish is to basically have a "sent item box"
on the way out. Basically, what i want to do is anything that is sent
to a public folder to be forwarded on so that we have a copy of what
was sent. So any message that is sent to my public folder address,
gets autoforwarded to a external smtp address.

For example:
Public Folder Folder is called "Memos". It's internal address is
me...@exchange.com
I want to forward that to: myexter...@outsideworld.com

I've tried just entering the smtp email address in the forward, didn't
work.
As suggested, i created a mail contact, set my external address on it,
testing by using that contact as my "to" on a test message. That
works, but if i make that contact the "forward'ee" on my public
folder, nothing ever appears.

i know this can be done as I had it working in exch 2003.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

That's going to require a mailbox and rules, but the side effect of that is
that the message is modified on the way out.

I think your best approach is to stick with the contact but implement an
archival system.
