Forwarding email using Out Of Office

[Guest]

I want to use the Out of Office facility to automatically forward all email
to another email address. I can get it to do this to another machine on the
network but not an external email address. It doesn't appear to send the
'out of office' message externally either.

I have added the external email address to my contacts list and selected
that from the 'Forward To' box - I have also entered the full address
manually in the 'Forward To' box in the rules part of the Out of Office.

I am using Outlook 2000 and Microsoft Exchange as the mail server.

Hope someone can help - thanks.

By (secure) default Exchange doesn't automatically reply/forward to the
Internet.
