i have set up a rule in Outlook 2007 to forward email to my blackberry when
it comes from an individual.

Does Outlook have to be opened in order for this to happen? i have Exchange
2003 and Outlook 2007 and will like this rule to execute when email arrives
in exchange even if outlook is not open.

Thanks for your help,

The rule should work if Outlook is closed since the Exchange Server should
do the work. Just make sure the rule shows as a server-side rule.

As an FYI - if it doesn't say client side, its server side.

Don't any clauses to a rule that would force it to be a client-side
rule. For example, if you mark a message as read, it is a client-side
rule. Only the client knows if it has previously opened an item for
viewing or not. When you look at the list of rules, you should be able
to determine which are server- and client-side rules.

this is the rule I have that doesnt work:
From People or Distribution List
Apply this rule after the message arrives
from: email addresses
forward it to: email address {my blackberry addr}

I have gotten numerous email from people in the distribution list BUT none
were forwared to my blackberry email. I tested my blackberry email by
sending myself an email and it works fine. Thus, the problem resides with
the rule.

thanks, for any help you can provide

The rule will forward mail from the DL, not people IN the DL. If you receive mail from DivisionMail DL and Mary, John and Bob are all in this DivisionMail DL, you will not receive mail from the individuals Mary, John or Bob.

It is much better to use categories for contacts to be able to quickly and on the fly configure rules and other items to use the category rather than a DL. Create a category called "blackberry forwarding" and add that to the contacts you want forwarded to your blackberry. Then modify your rule to use the category.

For this to work you need two rules - one that assigns the category based on
the sender and a second that forwards mail with that category.

Sorry but I dont understand. My rule is as follows:
1) apply this rule after email arrives from email addresses. All these
emails from outside NOT from the domain or my exchange.

2) Forward it to: my blackberry email addr which is also out of the domain.
Basically a POP email assigned to me when I got the blackberry with data
services.

I have the same problem. I have a rule to auto forward email from a
particular person to several email addresses. Only the people who internal
addresses are receiving them. Those with addresses outside our company
server do not get them even thought they have a valid address, but those on
the server do.

How do Raul and I set up a rule that will forward emails outside the server
to other addresses (i.e. sdhfgdh@sbcglobal.net)?

By default, Exchange denies replies and forwards to the Internet for both the OOF and rules. Check with your Exchange admin to see if this is absolutely necessary or if it can be changed.
