i have this exact scenario and the reason we don't set up outlook is
because we have a lot of info on the public folders that we don't want
the external users to have access to. our external users are dealing
with information that we don't want them to have in a file (PST) on
their hard drive, so we have them set up with OWA. this is the way we
want it to work:

- email gets sent to external user's mailbox on our exchange server
- external user gets some sort of notification of new mail in their
mailbox on our server
- external user can then login to our OWA portal and retrieve their
mail directly from our server.

we don't necessarily have to have an alert sent to their external
email address, but we do need to have some way of getting an alert
such that they notice it and login to their OWA account with us. i am
open to ideas that don't require spending money on extra software, as
i do not have the owner's permission to spend any money to fix this
issue.

Try this tool: http://www.owatray.com/ if you have Exchange 2007.

Yours is not the same scenario. In the future, please start a new thread
and describe your concern and all versions of software involved.

Jaime,

Thanks for the link. It provides the steps for Exchange 2000 and 2003. What
are the steps to be taken in Exchange 2007?

Be forewarned that opening automatic replies or forwards to the Internet
potentially exposes your server to nasty store-expanding disk-depleting mail
loops.

You can set it per remote domain if you want to lock it down a bit. For
example:
New-RemoteDomain -Name Yahoo -DomainName yahoo.com
Set-RemoteDomain -Identity
Yahoo -AutoForwardEnabled:$True -AutoReplyEnabled:$True
