Exchange Server 2010 and Outlook 2010 - Foward emails
I need to have a rule that will forward emails that are sent to a specific email address. I have setup a new mail box in exchange, and connected the mailbox on a PC. I can send and receive emails, I can forward an email to my Gmail account, but when I setup a rule to forward the email to my gmail account, I see it get sent out in the sent folder but I never see it get to my gmail account.
Any suggestions would be helpfull?
I have GFI Mail essentials scanning inbound and outbound emails, it actually show the message being sent out.

It is probably being blocked by gmail's filters. You will want to white list your address in gmail

I can already forward manually to my gmail account and it works perfectly, I have tried this by opening the mail in outlook and then clicking forward, the email will forward fine.
I can see the rule email that was forwarded in the GFI logs and the manually forwarded email in the GFI logs are both being sent with a Scan Result of OK.
My confusion is why can i forward a email manually but when the rule is trying to forward the email it gets lost?

Try a redirect rather than a forward rule in Outlook.
As for why this is happening, examine the message headers of a manually forwarded email vs one forwarded by the rule. There are going to be indicators in headers that the message was forwarded by rule rather than by a human and outbound spam filter may be bagging such messages. I'm not familiar with GFI Mail Essentials, but many companies consider it a violation to automatically forward messages to addresses outside the recipient domain. Maybe this is a default configuration in GFI.
