    Is it possible to forward from Exchange to external e-mail address such as Gmail or hotmail without having Active Directory account?

    Thanks

    You can't have Exchange without Active Directory. You could create a Outlook rule to forward messages to any account you want without creating a contact in Active Directory.

    Adding to what Mark said

    You need to have AD account and a mailbox  in order to login to mailbox and then send email to those domains.

    See how to forward email

    You need some representation in the AD if you expect Exchange to
    redirect (not forward) email. You don't need a user account, though; a
    simple mail-enabled Contact is all that's necessary.

    Exchange 2003: use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in
    Exchange 2007: Use the Exchange Management Console

    rimary SMTP proxy address for the Contact will be the address in
    the "external" domain. Assign as secondary SMTP proxy address in your
    domain. The secondary proxy address will be the one that someone ends
    the email to.

    I did accordingly but it did not work. I created a new contact by user1@gmail.com as Primary SMTP address and user2@mydomain.com as Secondary SMTP address. Then, I sent the email from other external account to uer2@mydomain.com and I got this error “Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently”.

    Thanks. In fact, I have done this several times but I was wondering that whether it is possible to forward without keeping AD account.

    So, what was the SMTP status returned in the NDR?

    Does sending an email to the user2@mydomain.com address work if you
    send it using Outlook connected to your Exchange server?

    Are you running Exchange 2003 or 2007? Did you use the ADUC or EMC to
    create the Contact?
