Amen to that (I also found this out the hard way and no longer do any forwarding to external accounts). Not only a good idea just to prevent mail loops, but also as another step in discouraging the use of external mail accounts altogether from your corporate desktops -- unless your current policy prevents this, chances are that same executive will have (or want to have) access to these external accounts from the office PC, and that can be a perfect backdoor right past any Exchange-based AV scanning agent(s) and right onto his desktop. Yes an AV scan may (should) also be on the desktop too, but I'd rather not let a Hotmail message carrying Magistr or SirCam or anything else get that far anyway.
