How to forward some accounts to a non-local mailbox on the internet

POPcon delivers to Exchange via SMTP. To forward an address to an external internet mailbox, create a Mail Contact in Exchange that points to the external address, then use that contact's local address in POPcon.

Exchange 2007 / 2010 / 2013

  1. In Exchange Management Console, go to Recipient Configuration > Mail Contact.
  2. Create a new Mail Contact with the external email address.
  3. In POPcon, configure the account to deliver to the contact's local Exchange address.

Exchange 2003
