Fun with changing E-Mail Addresses

After reading this article it seems that you can change the “targetAddress” from 'Users and Computers' snap-in to any email address (like a hotmail account) but you can only select an AD object (at least with Exch2k) <br>I thought I could put any address in that field in order to provide an easy “.forward” feature to the users through a web page. If I put a foreign address (like @Hotmail) through ADSIEdit or any other tool in the “targetAddress” field, the forwarding doesn’t work. <br>I have to do it with targetAddress -&gt;Contact AD object with foreign address. That’s the way MS says in some KB article, but it’s more troublesome and involves an administrative action. <br>Did I did anything wrong when I tried using “targetAddress” in this way? Is there any easier way to allow the users to set up their own “forwards”? <br>Thank You <br> <br>J Crespo
