RE: Outlook Rules
Chances are you have automatic forwarding to the internet disabled on your IMS. That's a good thing. If it needs to go to two addresses, use a DL pointing to your mailbox and to a custom receipient with the foreign address. -- Roger D.

RE: Outlook Rules
If the rule doesn't do anything, then there are a number possibilities: 1. Rules don't work. Restart Outlook with a /ClearRules parameter (which doesn't exist!, but there is one similar). 2. Rules work, but nothing has arrived to cause this one to fire. Check to make sure this rule actually fires properly by matching the required input specs. 3. Rules work, this one fires, but it doesn't do what you want. Check what the rule is really doing. Also check for auto replies to the Internet which could cause problems. 4. Rules work, this one fires, it does what you want, but only when you are sitting watching it. This is typical with client based rules. AND you must use client based rules, as you are forwarding to an address in your contacts list. Anything else?

RE: Outlook Rules Problem
How about giving mailbox rights to someone else, who can then make a cookie-cutter response if need be, and handle REALLY IMPORTANT emails with a personal response, rather than putting the onus back onto the sender? And then if it takes 37 days or 64 days or 42 days for the important email to stop flowing, they can make an intelligent, informed decision to delete the mailbox, rather than basing it on an approximation of the lunar cycle? These are people who are mapping our freakin' genetic code? -Original Message- From: Bowles, John L.

Would you follow the request if HR said it was OK to put the server on the Internet to ease remote access problems?. Tell them it's a human resource issue, they either pay for your over time to fix the server when it breaks [1] and for the loss to the rest of the company during the server outage or for someone to read the emails.

RE: Outlook Rules Problem
try using all messages instead of just ones sent to your name in other words... 1. Check messages when they arrive and 2.

RE: Outlook Rules Problem
Here's how we handle it: 1. Never allow auto replies to the Internet, you WILL get a mail loop. 2. Allow OOF to the Internet. In theory it can loop, but I have not been able to find someone that experienced one in the past couple of years. 3. We set the Alternate Recipient to a Dead Letter mailbox 4. The Dead Letter mailbox has an OOF that replies that the mailbox they are trying to reach is no longer valid and includes a bunch of contact info. This info includes Sales and Support numbers that the sender can call so they will not be left out in the cold. HR is happy, Sales is happy, Customer Support is happy, and IT is happy. -Original Message- From: Bowles, John L.
