Sry, I should have specified my Ex level. EX2K7 SP1. I've looked at what you're referring to, but it doesn't specifically mention the redirect option, I'm kinda hoping someone will say "yeah that prevents the redirect rule too"
The help speaks to the Auto forward rule, but not the redirection rule. Since the redirection rule works differently than the Forward rule I'm unsure if this would apply. When you receive the message as a result of the redirection, it appears as if the sender sent directly to the 3rd email address, so you hit reply it goes back to the sender. Whereas with the Auto Forward rule it puts the "FW:" and shows the sender as the account that has configured it, so when you hit reply it goes back to account where the rule is configured. "Allow automatic forward To allow messages that are auto-forwarded by client e-mail programs in your organization, select this option. By selecting this option, you enable auto-forwarded messages to be delivered to the remote domain."

How can you prevent this? I have a rule on my spam gateways that quarantine the Auto Forward ones.... Have seen lots of people asking how to do it on the internets, but not much in the way of preventing it. Any suggestions?
