Is it possible to forward mail from one Exchange 5.5 server to another? 
Neither server has anything to do with the other.  I would like to forward
mail coming to one of my email addresses forward to a totally different
address on another server.  Again, both servers are Exchange 5.5.  Is this
possible?  If so, how?
Thank you for your time in advance.

Create a custom recipient in your server, that has an e-mail address on the
other server. Then in the properties of your mailbox, set it up to send a
copy of all inbound mail to that custom recipient.

Thank you, Lanwench, for the information.  I tried doing what you suggested. 
I created a custom recipient, for email address type I selected Internet
Address, and put my other email address under the email address tab.  I went
into Outlook 2003 and I created a rule that forwarded all incoming email to
that address to my new custom recipient.  I saved the rule and had it run now
for all unread messages (3).  It seemed to run fine, but never made it to my
other email address (the one defined in the custom recipient on the server). 
I checked my Sent folder and the 3 messages were there - so it looks like
they were sent, but again, they never reached the other email address.  Any
suggestions?
Thank you once again.

No - this should be done on the server, in the mailbox properties - you
specify the forwarding there. Not in the client, via rules...
