Dear Matthew,
First of all I want to say Thank You for the time you are spending for me; a Thank You to Mr. Herb as well for the same reason.
I have understood very well what you mean and I agree with you.
Unfortunately my CEO likes this way (manual forwarding of external emails arrived) and he does not want that external people can send direct message to any of us (for security reasons).
Also he does not understand why with Exchange 5.5 we could do that.
I think I have to write a "sink" script that add the "reply to" field to the messages directed outside our domain.
Anyway I think in the future your solution will be the best.
Thank You All and God Bless You.
Alex
