Outlook 2007 rule issue

[Cretin]

We would like to get a text message when a job fails. Is what we did is in Outlook 2007 we set up a rule so if the word failure shows in the subject line a rule will fire to forward the message to a distribution group notify@vtext.com. The distribution group is hidden. When the e-mail comes in the rule does not fire yet we can fire it manually to run. However if we change the rule to forward to an employee that is not hidden. then the rule fires.

For any interested we i figured it out!

therre is a global parameter to not allow automatic forwards. For security purposes we have not changed that or anyone would be able to forward all of their e-mail to their personal accoung. However there is a rule parameter where you can have the e-mail server mail a response then just put the response address in the to field.
