Exchange 2013 Mailbox with Rule

Ensure tests can be forwarded

Using powershell create a remote domain to enable automatic replies to knowledgefront.com test messages.

Create Remote Domain

New-RemoteDomain -name knowledgefront.com -DomainName knowledgefront.com

Enable auto replies

Set-RemoteDomain knowledgefront.com -AutoReplyEnabled $true

Create return contact

This is the email address your system will use to return the test messages in the steps below. We suggest using mailive01@knowledgefront.com for the return.

Note :It is important to return the message to [mailive01@knowledgefront.com]{.title-ref} and not [mailive@knowledgefront.com]{.title-ref}. This will prevent Exchange from dropping the message because it thinks there may be forwarding loop problem.

Set the email address to mailive01@knowledgefront.com

Create sender contact

The same as the Create return contact step above except that we set the email address to mailive@knowledgefront.com. This will be used in the rule to identify the incoming test messages.

Create mailbox

Create a new User Mailbox

Set the properties

The SMTP Monitor can deliver tests to any email address as configured. See smtp_monitor{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} for all configuration options.

Create rule

Log into the newly created mailbox and create a new rule

Options -> Organize E-mail -> Inbox Rules -> "Create new rule for arriving messages.…"

When messages are received from mailive@knowledgefront.com, which was created in the Create sender contact above, forward to the Mailive Return contact created from the earlier.

Note

After the rule is confirmed to be working an additional step of deleting the messages may be added to keep the mailbox from filling up and wasting space.
