Outlook 2003: can't forward email to external email address

[John Gray]

Environment:

* Exchange Server 2007 64-bit (by definition!), using Mailboxes (n
PSTs), the previous server ran Exchange Server 2003 (32-bit);
* clients on XP Pro using Outlook 2003 (converted very recentl
from Outlook 2002/XP)

I have set up a (single) Server-side Rule (real data changed!)


Code
-------------------
Apply this rule after the message arrives
sent to <user's internal email address>
and received <after 23 January 2010>
forward it to <external email address>
except if from <external email address>
or except if it is an Out of Office messag
-------------------


but it never sends any incoming email to the external email address.

It's possible to cause ALL incoming emails for the user to be sent t
the external email address for that user by setting up a Mail Contact i
Exchange Server Manager, and then the Delivery Options in the Mailbox'
Mail Flow features, but that's far too inflexible, and requires me to g
into ESM to turn it on and off.

It may be irrelevant, but Cached Exchange Mode is in operation, and on
of the side-effects is that it produces an OST file on the PC hard dis
for each user.

This sort of transfer rule worked trivially in Outlook 2002/XP, and I'
like to do the same in Outlook 2003.

Has anyone any thoughts on this, please

This is a security measurement on Exchange and not within Outlook.

Let's have another go at the rule, since it seems you can't put
less-than and greater-than brackets in Code!


Code:
--------------------
Apply this rule after the message arrives
sent to [user's internal email address]
and received [after 23 January 2010]
forward it to [external email address]
except if from [external email address]
or except if it is an Out of Office message

I already answered your original post in which the brackets show up nicely.
