That would probably qualify as an Automatic Reply to the Internet, a
function which is disabled by default in Exchange Server due to the
potential for run-away email loops. I don't know where the setting is in
Exchange 2003, however, in Exchange 5.5 you can select an Alternate
Recipient for a mailbox (Delivery Options tab under Mailbox Properties) that
can be an external Internet address (a Custom Recipient). I'm fairly sure
Exchange 2003 has the same setting.
