tracing an auto forward
i am trying to trace an auto-reply in outlook/exchange.
the scenario is i have a user who just quit and i am forwarding his mail to me. he had set up an auto forward to have all emails to helpdesk@company.com automatically forward to his email as well as deliver to the standard help desk email box.
since i have the help desk email box set up as an additional email box in outlook, i don't need want to receive a duplicate in his email that forwards to me.
helpdesk account does not have a forward in exchange.
his machine is powered off, so outlook is obviously not running.
where else can i check for this?

Also, to forward to his email, he needed to have a contact with that email on it. Delete that contact.

why is auto-forward a bad idea? is it some type of looping issue?
what will i do with forwards that i have in place for users that need them? will those be effected?
are you referring to a contact in outlook on his local machine that should be removed?
