Sorry for cryptic subject but Lyris has rejected my message 4 times because of the reserved subject lines.. ============================================================================ ==== Really weird problem this time: In the process of migration to Lotus Notes I need to forward messages from our Exchange server to the Notes server and auto-reply to the sender with generic message saying that user email address has changed. I do it "per-user" basis so to forward mail for every user I created appropriate alternate recipient with their new Notes email address. I also select "Deliver Messages to both Recipient and Alternate Recipient". Auto-replies are also done on "per-user" basis so I login to user mailbox via Outlook and create a new rule, as described in Q291956 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-AU;q291956). The problem is that if I have auto-forward via alternate recipient on, auto-reply rules don't work. Mail gets forwarded to alternate recipient OK but sender doesn't get an auto-reply message. If I disable auto-forward, auto-reply works just fine. Another weird part is even though I have "Deliver Messages to both Recipient and Alternate Recipient" selected, messages are not being copied to the local Exchange mailbox while being forwarded to alternate recipient! Has anyone seen anything like this before? I'm at the point where I'm planning to re-apply Sp4 and all the hot fixes again!
Dimitri P.S. Server: Exchange5.5 SP4 + hot fixes; client: Win2K SP2, Office2K SR2 + hot fixes. FWIW, there's nothing else wrong with the server - it's been working perfectly fine for the past 3 years. List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
