Using Email Forwarding in Hosted Exchange Email
Email forwarding allows you to direct incoming messages from one email address to another. Our mail servers redirect messages sent to a forwarded email address to the email address you specify. We do not store email messages sent to forwarded email addresses on our servers; we forward them.
If you want to forward messages to a mailbox that exists in your Hosted Exchange account you should create an alias instead.
To forward mail to multiple addresses, you can forward to a distribution lists. For more information about forwarding email to your distribution lists, see Managing Hosted Exchange Email Distribution Lists.
NOTE: Exchange 2010 accounts do not support forwarding to distribution lists. If you need to know which version of Exchange your mailbox uses, see Finding Your Hosted Exchange Email Version.
You can add forwarded email addresses to your organizations. You cannot use the same address as both an email address and a forwarded email address.
