Add-on to Outlook on Exchange for *Client-side* automated forwards/redirects?

[badbob]

My company uses Outlook 2003 to connect to Exchange 2003. I wanted to
setup rules to automatically forward/redirect my emails to an external
email account so I can get emails on my phone. But the exchange
servers are not configured to allow automatic forwards/redirects and
it is not a setting they will change. Nor will they support modifying
my mailbox to also deliver my emails to an external address.

I am fine leaving my Outlook client running 24x7 to run rules, but all
automated forward/redirect rules are forced to run as server-side and
thus they don't get forwarded. Is there a way to force the forward/
redirect to happen on the client-side? I don't even need the Exchange
servers for the actual sending of the emails since I have access to a
smtp server. Is there some sort of desktop redirector software that I
can use to redirect my emails? I know blackberries have a desktop
redirector client, but that is only sends the emails to the blackberry
servers. I want something more generic.

Perhaps there is a way create an Outlook rule to run some custom
script to forward my emails? I'm pretty good with batch scripts, but I
don't know how to get Outlook to pass the email body to an external
process.

Thanks,
Bobby
