Relaying from OE6?

I'm collecting emails from a catch-all account and want to be able to forward (relay?) certain addressees to their personal email addresses.

eg:-
moststuff@mydomain.org (= keep it on my PC)
tom@mydomain.org (= forward it to tom@aol.com)
harry@mydomain.org (= forward it to harry@aol.com)

I tried simply using the "Forward" rule in OE6, but they then received the emails with my name as the sender... thereby making it difficult for them to reply to the original senders!

I'm happy to use third-party stuff if necessary.
I'm running XP Home & OE6.
 
I'd guess that's beyond the capabilities of Outlook Express, but Outlook will do it fine. Any chance you have Outlook 2K or XP available?
 
Thanks... I've spent the morning importing settings, re-cobbling message rules (technical phrase, that is!) and trying to ensure I've got Outlook 2K set up properly. (clicking on Mailto: links was still opening OE6, but I found the fix for that... eventually.

Outlook seems to be retaining the original sender info within the forwarded emails, which does at least help. Is there any way of the original sender still showing in the "From" column in the inbox?
