Exchange 2016 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.

e16r3

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

e16r4

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.
