Did you create a contact for that external user? I don't believe that rules work on "one-offs".

We archive the mails sent to a mailing list in a public folder by making the public folder member of the distribution list. We have set a rule on the public folder by using Folder Assistant, the rule forwards the mails (mails as attachment) that are coming from a specific user (from an external domain) to the mailing list addressed in the 'To' or 'Cc' to a member in our site and another associate in an external domain. The mail is auto forwarded to the member in our site without any problems but the mail does not reach the external domain. We checked the logs on the exchange server and found that the folder does not even trying to forward the mail to the external domain, there is no trace of this mail in the log. We have also unchecked the disable automatic replies to the internet in the advanced options of IMS, Internet options. We are looking at the other issues (relay not being allowed), but what is surprising is that the mail does not even reach the mail gateway (there is no log of this mail coming in the gateway logs), Exchange just drops in thin air. Has anyone faced similar problem? any solutions or pointers would be very much appreciated. Thanks Chandrasekhar Varma. This message is confidential and may also be legally privileged.
