Greetings!

I've setup an out of office message with a rule ... that rule specifies
that, if a message comes in with the subject of "URGENT", the message should
be forwarded to another email address.

I have the activation checkbox on the rule checked... but regardless of the
subject of the message I receive, it never gets forwarded. Additionally,
there is no error information indicating why the rule isn't processed.

Can anyone point me to some information on how to diagnose this problem?

Thanks!

david

Yes, sorry, I should have mentioned. I am using an Exchange server.

Also, to add to what Scott said, exchange out of office replies are
generated to internal senders only by default.
