Rules & Alerts vs. Out of Office Rules

G

Guest

We have an individual who is going to be out of the office for quite awhile.
I was wondering, does it matter if we set up some of his email to be
forwarded to someone else through Tools-> Rules & Alerts, or should we use
the Out Of Office Rules? Does the Tools-> Rules & Alerts require that a
person's Outlook be open in order for the rules to run?

No, they both will run on the Exchange server. The difference is that the
rule will only work when the OOF is enabled and that the sender is getting
the OOF notice.
