Exchange by default and with very good reason, is set by default to deny
replies and forwards to the Internet.
For example, take your mailbox. If someone sends you lots of mail while you
are on a 2 week vacation, and all of this mail is forwarded to your ISP
mailbox, which fills up because you are not downloading your mail and
removing it from their server, and the ISP starts sending NDRs to you
telling you to empty your mailbox, but these are then forwarded back to the
ISP based on your rule, which in turn generates another message from the ISP
to empty your mailbox, which in turn is forwarded to the ISP, etc.
See why it is turned off by default? You can ask your Exchange admin to
turn it on but the previous scenario will be foremost in his/her mind when
telling you no.
