Exchange Mailbox Rules

Exchange and Outlook team up in WEIRD ways when it comes to rules. Not all rules are server based, some require the client to handle the rules. In other words, some things will not be done if Outlook is not open! Be careful with forwarding and other things!

See this reference on which rules are processed where, here: http://www.slipstick.com/rules/serverbased.htm
By default, exchange will not allow users to forward or send out of office replies to the internet. Enable it manually: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323665
Forwarding email the \"proper\" way to an external account: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281926
When the rules go bad, here you\'ll find references to Cleansweep from the back office resource kit. Here\'s a good thread plus link to D/L the file:

And how to use it is doc\'d in the MS KB: Q174045
Also this might be of use (but it\'s got a pretty awkward interface and I didn\'t have much success): http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;Q316279#7
