how to redirect a users internal exchange mail to a linux mail server

Hello,

I would like a user to connect to a linux mailserver and receive all his mail. Now he is a user in an AD domain and he has an Exchange 2003 mailbox. He is receiving evryone's else email and he is not receiving mail from internal employees who connect to Exchange 2003 for mail delivery. We do not want him to configure on his client computer an additional POP3 mailbox as we know we will get complaints from him. Why do i have 2 mailboxes...blah...blah blah... . . So i would like for him to receive all mail from 1 mail server. What do i need to do on the AD users and computers to accomplish this? Also do i need to do any config changes on Exchange 2003 to accomplish this?

Thanks for your help,

The way to do it would be to use a mail enabled contact to send email to his Linux mailbox. This contact would be used to forward email from the Exchange mailbox - possibly via a "Store and Forward" so that you still have a copy of the email within Exchange.

However what you put in to the mail enabled contact as the email address depends on your existing configuration.
For example, if the Linux account has its own email address then that could be used.

ok.....let me explain because i was not clear enough.
I would like to configure Exchange 2003 to forward all messages to a linux mail server that shares the same smtp domain name space. Ex:
User@company .com is the email of the user in Exchange 2003. I would like all his emails to be forwarded to a linux mail server that has his address as user@company.com .
How can i accomplish this for 1 user in Exchange. The user is also in AD users and computers.

Please help,
