Forwarding Email using Out Of Office

[John G]

I want to forward all email to an external email address while I am out of
the office. I have attempted to do this using the rules aspect of the Out Of
Office functionality. I can forward incoming mail to another machine on the
network but don't appear to be able to forward to external email addresses.

I have used the 'Forward To' field in the rules aspect. I have tried both
adding the external email address to my contacts and selecting it in the
'Forward To' box and also typing the external email address directly into the
'Forward to' box.

It doesn't appear that the Out Of Office reply is sent to external email
addresses either.

Normal incoming and outgoing email is working fine.

I am using Outlook 2000 on a Microsoft Exchange Server.

Thanks
