redirecting troubles with exchange

I am using Microsoft Exchange to manage a company email account, and I
have recently set up redirection on the account by creating a rule that
redirects all email the server receives (note that I mean *redirect*
not *forward*).

To keep things simple let us say that the exchange account is
(e-mail address removed) and I am redirecting the mail to (e-mail address removed) .

The problem is that none of the TO, CC and BCC headers are preserved.
So if (e-mail address removed) sends a message to (e-mail address removed),
(e-mail address removed) and then CC's (e-mail address removed), when I receive the
message at (e-mail address removed) I am the only recipient.

Does anyone know how to preserve that information? Without those
headers it seems the redirection is quite useless.

Thanks

I forgot that google groups truncates email addresses. Here is the
message to make it a little more readable:

personB(AT)domain.com and then CC's personC(AT)domain.com, when I

Do the redirect on the server rather than using an Outlook rule. It can be
set up in ADUC's user properties screen under Exchange General > Delivery
Options.

Thank you for the information. My email admin seems to be kind of new
to exchange so he didnt know quite what to do, so I had to do some
searching to find the steps. I found this on microsoft:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281926

are these the correct instructions to perform this? And does it matter
that the email I am forwarding to is not an exchange email on the same
server?

thanks again.
