Forwarding rule not working

Guest

Hi all,

I am using Outlook 2002/2003 with an Exchange 2003 server. I have set up a
rule to forward email from my account to my other email account (another
Outlook account but on a different domain). The rule does not forward the
email. Rule is set to forward all emails that come into my InBox where my
name is in the "To" or "CC" fields. I also tried to forward my email to a
Comcast account (not Outlook) Still no luck. Any suggestions on how I can
make this work? FYI, if I manually choose to forward an email, it forwards
with no issues. It seems to be the rule that may be causing the failure but I
am not sure.

Thanks!

Talk to your Exchange administrator, who apparently has the server set up so that automatic forwarding is blocked (a good setting, BTW, because it prevents mail storms).
