Re: User emails to be relayed not delieverd

Thanks James,

On the domain there is a User Account for a user that doesn't reside on the LAN, his access will be purely through OpenVPN and accessing Domain resources. This user therefore has a AD user account.

All the emails for the email domain (ex mydomain.com) will collectored by a hosted service. The emails for the users on the domain are downloaded independently, Site one collects emails for site 1 users, and Site 2 polls the server for emails for Site 2 users.

Emails for the remote user are not collected by the servers. They are collected by the user directly from the hosted server.

When an email is sent to this user through Exchange the email is returned with an undeliverable message, as there is no user with a mailbox on this (or site2's) Exchange server. Therefore, any email sent to this user from within the domain should be sent to the smarthost for delivery to the hosted server.

Hope that makes sense :S

Can you explain what you are trying to do or end goal; there may be an
alternative to what you're trying to do.

2 DC's

1 email domain (for example mydomain.com)

There is one user that has a user account in AD, but does not have a
mailbox. I want any email sent to this user forwarded to the smarthost
configured in the SMTP Connector. I have both Exchange Servers in the Local
Bridgeheads for check if the user is local or on site2, failing that pass
the email to the smarthost.

Is it possible to specify that the local users email should be smtp
forwarded to the smarthost? (even though that user is on the same email
domain).

Thanks
