Need to forward inbound emails to certain address to SMS serverWe have emails coming into a servicerequest@domain email address, which in
turn is forwarded out to some internal addresses in addition to maintenance personnel in the field, the latter going to their cell phones via SMS. The inbound email reaches all internal mailboxes, but the same rule doesn't forward the emails to the SMS users. Conversely, if any internal users sends an email to the servicerequest@domain, all users including SMS users receive it. In a nutshell we've created contacts in Exchange for the SMS users, and we've added the SMS email addresses to a group that also includes internal users. Occasionally, an email seems to sneak out to a SMS user, but I can't any rhyme or reason as to why it works when it does. Thanks Allyn <Al***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

But again, I see the message information in all of these when I send it from an internal user.

It doesn't appear to even try to deliver the email. Allyn <Al***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

This would be a lot cleaner. I don't especially like forwards - I think they're clumsy and error prone. Also, not that I control your budget, you might consider just getting ActiveSync-capable devices for the field techs rather than relying on SMS messaging.
