I've always found rules in Outlook to be somewhat unreliable at best. If you're really planning on forwarding all mail sent to mailbox X to internet address Y, you can set up a custom recipient of address Y (probably hiding it from the GAL) then use Forwarding Address (under Delivery Options in Exchange General) to forward the mail on. Personally I wouldn't advise automatically forwarding mail out to the internet as you can run the risk of a mail loop.
Alternatively you could have an Outlook rule file the mail into a separate folder and then from time to time manually Forward Items on the mail in that folder. > I have an Exchange 5.5 sp4 w/IMS running on NT 4.0 sp6a. > My email client is Outlook 2000 on a WinXPsp1. > I am trying to set up a rule that will forward an email sent to me. > I can manually forward the incoming email from X. to Y. > But when I set up the rule it does nothing. The X is in my > Recepients > the Y is in my personal contacts. When I am manually forwarding it I > select > it from my contacts. When I am setting up my rule I select it from my > contacts. I don't see any obvious errors but it still doesn't work. > Can anyone explain to me why the rule wouldn't work if manually > forwarding does??? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:leave-exchange@;ls.swynk.com Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
