They make a distinction between “client side” and “server side” rules. Something like forwarding would have to be a server side rule to be effective. So that is a feature not of outlook itself, but MS Exchange server (or microsoft’s office online product). John, a lot of “proconsumer” level routers these days can catch things like that. I use Ubiquiti’s “unifi” line of router & access points, and it does deep packet inspection, it will give me a report of suspicious traffic either coming in or going out of my home network. It also gives me a timeline of bandwidth use, per mac address. It also has a “honeypot” feature where it creates a fake IP/machine on the lan and listens for attempt by malware to infect it, to let you know if any machine on your LAN is trying to infect other machines. It can optionally block suspicious traffic, though I have that turned off because it gets a decent amount of false positives. I used my bandwidth logs to catch my kids sneaking devices in their room past bedtime. From: John Vaughters via TriEmbed The best I can give you is to go to "Create Rule" and probably select "advanced settings" or maybe it is clear from the opening screen, but the rule building once you get to it is fairly self explanatory. Many Corporations have done away with forwarding though for malware reasons. However, your question reminds me of a malware my kids ended up getting once where it literally turned their computer in to a spam email server. And the only way I found out was it was hogging the bandwidth, and I started getting messages from Time Warner about misuse of their service and they would be shutting down my connection, all of which happened about the same time. Kids, you gotta love them! cuz it's your job. `,~) John Vaughters On Thursday, February 18, 2021, 12:42:11 PM EST, Pete Soper via TriEmbed <triembed@triembed.org> wrote: Sorry for being off topic, but I thought some of you might use MS Outlook and I want to help a friend tame her chaos. Can somebody point me to the specific steps for adding an email message rule that sez "if you get an email with from address X forward a copy to address Y"?
