Exchange 2007 NDR forwarding to an external SMTP email address

I've setup NDRs on an 07 setup and can get the NDRs at the Postmaster address. However, I am trying to get the NDRs emailed to an external SMTP address. I've tried setting up a Transport Rule to catch Undeliverable as a subject and forward it but it doesn't seem to work. I even tried to setup (not my preferred method) a rule on the postmaster account to forward messages with Undeliverable in the subject to my external email address but nothing seems to work. If I email postmaster with a subject Undeliverable it works. Anyone have any insight on this issue? How can I forward the NDRs?

I understand but we are provide are an IT support company that provides support to many clients and have a mailbox on our server specifically for NDRs. I know one of my colleagues got this working on another 07 server.  I realize this is probably a built in security function but I require a work around or solution to do just this. I could forward all mail that hits the postmaster box but that is not feasable.

It must be a forward of the postmaster account, because I can find no other way of doing it.

Although they are of limited value. I manage many Exchange servers and do not have this setup on any server. I prefer to use recipient filtering for inbound email and for outbound email the users get a copy of the NDR anyway.

what about setting up an external postmaster address? Any luck with that? I tried that but it still send the NDRs to the internal postmaster. Not sure it this is something that takes time...

External postmaster isn't a postmaster who is external to the site, but is where external NDRs go.
