Have you tried redirecting or forwarding e-mail from the ADS user profile
(alternate e-mail address)?

We are testing that solution as of this writing.

Remember that default since Exchange 2000 is to forbit automatic
forwards to external domains. To allow automatic forwards or replies,
use Exange System Manager, expand Global Settings, Internet Message Formats.

Create a new SMTP domain (better than modifying default domain '*')
corresponding to the SMTP namespace of your external account (yes, this
will allow anyone to set up automatic forwards to e-mail addresses in
this namespace...). In the advanced tab, make sure "Allow automatic
forwards" is checked.

Another option would be to create an hidden mail-enabled contact in
Active Directory for your personal e-mail address and in your mailbox
properties, check "Forward all received e-mails to...", browse for your
contact and make sure "Send a copy to original recipient" is checked.

Hope this helps,
Ben.

OK. This is very simple to do.

If you have Outlook and no Exchange you set up an Outlook Rule or Out of
Office Rule, but it will only work when that copy of Outlook is up and
running.

If you have an Exchange Server and Outlook you still need to set up an
Outlook Rule or Out of Office Rule for that Mailbox.  It will work whether
Outlook is open after that or not as long as the Exchange Server is up and
running. You will also need to confirm that your Exchange server is set up
to allow replies to the Internet.  Open Exchange System Manager.
Double-click Global Settings, and then click Internet Message Formats. In
the Details pane, right-click a domain name, and then click Properties. The
default SMTP domain is "*". In the Properties dialog box, click the Advanced
tab, and then click to select the type of Internet responses you would like
to allow. Stop the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Microsoft
Exchange Routing Engine services, and then restart them.

That's it.  You are ready to go.

Good luck,
