I've thought about that. I failed to populate a Distribution Group

adding members.

No, you can certainly add contacts. If you're searching, make sure you have
a tickbox next to the types of objects you want to look for....there's one
for 'contacts'.

Of course, you can also go to the OU in ADUC where these contacts live,
select them all, right-click, and add them to the groups you wish.


Technically we can forget about BlackBerries. If you
need to forward mail to any external address, there is no way just to
type it. You are supposed to find it in Active Directory.

Yep.

The only
way I found (maybe I didn't dig up deeply) to create a contact,
configure it with the needed external address and use it as an Active
Directory object.

That's what a mail-enabled contact is for, yes.

It's pretty useful for some other tasks but doesn't
work with forwarding.

Yes, it does :)

As I've already mentioned Contacts as objects
are not available while adding Members to a Distibution Group for
example.

See above.

Users need to get messages forwarded from a Public Folder to their
BlackBerries. Multiple Contacts are configured in Active Directory
containing their BlackBerries addresses. When I configure the Public
Folder to forward messages in System Manager it works, but it
doesn't allow forwarding to multiple addresses.
Folder Assistant (working from Outlook) allows multiple forwarding
but with Mailbox enabled objects only, doesn't send to any
non-Mailbox-enabled Contact. Any suggestions and thoughts would be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hmmm - this sounds kind of confusing. What is the PF used for? How
is the mail getting into the PF to begin with (from where)? And how
is it being 'sorted' so you'd know which messages are to go to which
recipients?

If all mail sent to the PF is supposed to be sent to the all of the
Blackberry users' BB addresses, you could set up a distribution group
containing all the BB addresses and have the forward go there - or,
instead of having the mail go directly to the PF in the first place,
have it go to a distribution group which contains both the PF *and*
the DL containing all the BB addresses.
