Mail from external to Distribution List wil not distribute to external address.
Hello Experts,
I hope you can solve this problem we have.
> Server 2003 Standard, Exchange 2003, single domain.
We have external people (no domain users) who needs to have a domain emailaddress (user@ourdomain.com) en got this email adres redirect to there own private address (user@ISPDomain).
I made a contact for this person in the AD
And I made a distribution group for this user, made the contact member of this distribution group.
Well what happens is that when I send an email from the internal domain to this distribution list > JUST OK! person gets the email in his private mailbox.
But when I send from an external account to this distribution group I got the following message back:
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
---
Delivery to the following recipients failed.
user@ISPDomain.com
Final-Recipient: rfc822;user@ISPDomain.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.5.0
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 <externalaccount@ISPDomain
X-Display-Name: Johanvb

Is this a policy in Exchange 2003?
Please can anyone help us out here since we need to use the option that people can mail the person on our domain address en get the email to any address we want.(private).
Thanks a lot,

Thanks for the answer Sembee,
I understand what you are pointing at. It sound logical. But if you want a simpel solution like this how are other companys dealing with this?
Can Microsoft do something about it?
And what is the alternative to give outside people a domain emailaddress wich is forwarded to their internet email account. Should be simpel but... how?
Thanks in Advance..

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
When the external person sends the email to the distribution list, Exchange distributes the email to the list leaving the From line intact. This is for internal users. However for external users this means that the email is being delivered by a server that is not responsible for email for that domain.
The recipient's server looks at the From field and then the server that is sending the message and rejects the message. To the recipient server it looks like spoofing - and as well all know, most spam and viruses have senders that are spoofed.
If you send to the contact directly from outside you may find that you have same the problem.
