Automatically forwarding emails

[John]

Hi

I need to forward emails to a specific user to her external email. The user
only wants those emails forwarded who are addressed to her and not
the ones that she is cc'd or bcc'd. Hence my choice of client side rule.

I have done the following;

1. Created a contact with her external email address under 'Active Directory
Users and Computers',

2. Ticked 'Allow Automatic Forward' under Exchange->Global
Settings->Internet Message Format->Default->Properties->Advanced tab.

3. Logged in to the relevant user's pc under her name and in outlook created
a rule as below;

Apply this rule after the message arrives
where my name is in the To box
forward it to <Contact Name>

Problem is forwarding is still not working. What more can I do or where
should I look for any problem?

Many Thanks

Regards

What I've found that works better is to create an out of office reply and add
a rule to it that auto forwards the email to a user's internet email address.

However, if you're using Exchange check that it allows replies to the
internet and autoforward to the internet.
