Outlook "Out of office" wizard fails to forward mail. 2

[meekrob]

I am trying to create a simple out of office rule to forward email to another account while I am gone. I check the conditions sent directly to me and copied to me and add the action forward to myacct@hotmail.com. When I send myself an email from an external address (not the hotmail address), I do not get the forwarded email or an out of office reply (which I don't really want anyway). After changing the forwarding address to an internal address the mail is forwarded properly and I do not get an out of office message (if the message is sent from another internal account they receive the out of office message). I get the same results if I set up a simple rule instead of using the wizard.

I am fairly certain there is a setting in exchange I need to alter to be able to forward my mail to an external address.

This is under global settings. Or in the same area. There is a tab with 6 boxes dealing with this stuff. Dan

Exchange System Manager - Global Settings - Internet Message Formats - right click "Default" - Advanced tab - check the box "Allow out of office responses"
