Forwarding to Contact does not work

[Jay]

Please Help

I have an exchange Server 2000 SP3. All works fine except I have a problem
with forwarding to Contacts.

If I create a contact in exchange I can send mail to it from an internal
account. However, if I configure a user so that all emails are forwarded to
this contact, as well as leaving a local copy in the exchange mail account
the mail is returned as undeliverable.

If I send to the main account from an external address the mail is delivered
to the main account but I receive an email from the postmaster saying the the
mail could not be dlivered to the second (forwarding) address.

Therefore even though mail can be sent to the contact it cannot be forwarded
to.

Any ideas most welcome

Thanks

What's the exact text of the NDR?

Does this happen regardless of the contact address? If you set up another
contact with another external address (try gmail), does it still happen?
