Hello,created a Public Folder rule (Exchange 2007 SP1) with theOutlook 2007 folder assistant (Drag/Drop posting is a : Move/Copy). The Rule contains only "Forward To publicfoldername@ourdomain.com, Method: Leave message intact". This should forward all messages unmodified to the forwarding recipient.If I send a mail to the public folder, this mail will be forwarded as the orginal mail and appears as the orginal mail at the forwarding recipient.But if I drag&drop a mail (from my inbox) to the public folder, this mail appears with a "FW subject" at the forwarding recipient. Also the mail contains a "Auto forwarded by a Rule" line.Is this behaviour by design or is it possible to forward a drag/drop message unmodified ?Thanks & Rgds,Rainer

No, the symptom isnt by design. I cant reproduce your symptom in my lab (Exchange 2007 SP1 + Outlook 2007 SP1). If I drag&drop the message to public folder, the message will still perform as Leave message intact If we choose Method: Standard in the rule, Auto forwarded by a Rule" line will show. So, please double-check the rule of the public folder Also, please try to create a test public folder, and see if we can reproduce the issue in the new public folder

Hello,the Method is set to "Leave message intact".to clarify: 1. the drag&drop message appears in the target Public Folder unmodified (= "Leave message intact" works).2.then a Public Folder rule (created with Outlook Folder assistant) forwards this message via a contact to another SMTP-Server3a). as the message reaches this SMTP-Server, the sender of the message has changed tothe public folder (and is not as expected the original senders address). 3b) If I SEND a message to the public folder and after forwarding it reaches the SMTP Server, at this SMTP serverthe sender of the message doesn't change and is still the original sender) and the subject line begins with "FW...".With both methods (send a mail or drag&drop am mail to a public folder) the mail appearsat the public folder as original and unmodified - so far so good. But then a rule forwards this mail from the public folder to a contact which external smtp address directs to another SMTP server. And at this SMTP server I see two different results: thesent mail appears unmodified, thedrag&drop mail appears modified. This is the problem. "Leave message intact" shows that a sent message and a drag&drop message reaches the public folder unmodified, I could confirm that,but the following forwarding rule seems to modify only the drag&drop mail - this is whatis curious?

I'm having the exact same issue. In addition to that, it refuses to forward to distribution lists. This is a brand new public folder that is being tested. We'd like to moderate our staff listings, so what we'd like to do is use a public folder as the entry point for the messages, use that public folder as a Moderated Folder (this is working), then automatically forward what the moderator drops into the public folder to the distribution list (this does not work). I decided to try forwarding to myself to test if forwarding worked at all and I have it set to "Leave message intact" yet it uses Standard method. This is not being forwarded to any other servers as everything is on our Exchange 2007 SP1 box.

Hi James. although this thread seems old i was hoping there is more info on this issue. I have the same problem i can recreate it with a NEW public folder i followed these directions http://www.amset.info/exchange/groups-moderated.asp and all works except i cannot get the message to remain intact and show from the original sender. It always shows as if it came from the public folder and the Auto forwarded by a Rule line is there..

I'm having the same issue with 2007 sp1, still leaves the following with leave message intact, has anyone found a way to fix this? ------------------------------------------- From: testact1 Sent: Monday, February 21, 2011 11:52:06 PM To: blow, joe Auto forwarded by a Rule
