Two possibilities I can think of:<br />
1) add the alias to the User-id/Short name list in your Person document in the N&amp;A-book on the server, and create an agent that forwards those mails to the external address<br />
2) create a group of type mail in the server's N&amp;A-book with the email alias as name, and put two members in that group: you and the external address<br />
<br />
Advantage of 2 is that you don't have to write an agent.

I would like to setup an email alias in Lotus Notes, and then forward messages sent to that address to an external email account.<br />
<br />
Is this possible? If so, how can it be done.<br />

I am running Domino 6.5.5. Preferrably I would like to do this via the Domino Administrator.

Creating an alias in Lotus Notes and forwarding to an external address

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
