I am running win95 with outlook 2000. We have an exchange server5.5 with latest svc pack. I have set a rule in rules wizard to forward my email to my smtp account. however it does not forward from internal or external sources. It does however put the item in the deleted items folder which I also specified in the rule. It just will not forward it to my smtp acct. The rule is set like this (Check messages when they arrive/nothing checked in condition/delete it and forward to people or dist list(which is my smtp contact)in the what to do with it box/nothing in exceptions box)Cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Everything looks correct. Any sugg much appreciated.

This is a problem with a setting on the Exchange server.

Your Excange Server person must go into the properties of the "Internet Mail Service"

"Internet Mail" Tab

"Advanced Options" button

There there are 2 check boxes.

Disable Out ofOffice Responces to the internet and Disable Automatic Replies to th e internet.

The Out of Office one must NOT BE CHECKED!

Rules are executed in the order you set them. According to your post you have it set to delete first and forward second. The problem is that by the time the forward rule is invoked all the messages have already been deleted. Use your up/down buttonsto change the order of the rules.
