some of our users create Inbox Rules and redirect messages to an external mail address.
If they send an E-mail from the external adress to the Mailbox to test the Rule, Exchange do not redirect those messages.
It's seems that if the redirect To: Adress ist the Same as the arriving From: Address, Exchang do not process the Rule:
I found somthing about Harmless Recipiant Loops, but i wonder that it is working if i set the Forwarding Smtp Adress via Powershel.
Set-mailbox john -ForwardingSmtpAddress john@company.de
an he try it again, the user get the message redirectet to john@company.de
********************************
As example INBOX Rule
1) Mailbox John (john@exhange.de) has redirect rule (inbox rule) to john@company.de
2) John send an E-mail from "John@company.de" to "John@exchange.de" the Rule do not Redirect the massage back to john.
3) If somone else send an mail to "John@exchange.de" the mail redirection works perfekt
************************
As example: Inobox Rule
"John@company.de ---------------------------------------->John@exchange.de
InboxRule (Redirect is not Working)
John@company.de ### Nothing happen ###
*******************************
As example "Set-Mailbox" forward via Powershell
"John@company.de ---------------------------------------->John@exchange.de
Set Forwarding Adress
John@company.de<------------------------------------------ Recive own Mail back (working)

Who could explain me the different, between?
AND please do not ask for sense ...
