Mailive! Exchange 2003 Setup

  1. Create an Active Directory User with Exchange Mailbox.

    This will enable basic monitoring for SMTP connectivity and the Exchange server where the mailbox is located. To monitor multiple servers create one mailbox on each server to be monitored and create a separate Mailive! tests for each.

  3. Go back to previously created mailbox(es), select Properties -> Exchange General -> Delivery Options -> set Forwarding address to be the Mailive Return contact.

    Note: Do NOT check "Deliver Message to both forwarding address and mailbox."

  4. After all is set and tested you may want to go back and set both the mailbox and the contact to be hidden from the global address list.

  5. OPTIONAL STEP: You do not need to do this step if you allow auto forward by default.

    Create a new domain in the "Internet Message Formats". This will allow you to check allow auto forwarding for the knowledgefront.com domain.
