Depends upon the rule - some of them are client-side and some are server-side.
Off the top of my head the criteria that determines it include: Whether or not the rule actions require authentication (like posting to a public folder), or if they require access to the local hard drive. i.e. A rule that replies with a template stored on a local or network drive, or copies the message into a .PST file or prints the message or such will be client-side and require the user to be logged into Outlook to fire. A rule that just moves the message to a folder within the mailbox or forwards it to another user will be server-side. Hope that helps, Aloha, -Ben- Ben M.
