Exchange Online: Forwarding of the email
Hello, I would appreciate your help with the following question: A user (User A) is out of office and activates a forwarding rule to a collegue (User B) and after that User B also drops out so that ...
They should be forwarded, unless a mail flow loop is detected.
- Thanks for a reply:)
Cause I tested the following: I have set the different kind of the rules with the different combinations: I used the option forwarding, redirect and forwarding as an attachment for all emails and from a specific person and so on. It does not work.
Maybe can it be blocked somewhere in the settings?
Cause I even do not see anywhere that the emails was trying to be sent to the person C of the email that was sent to A.
Thanks for reply once again! 🙂- If you are using Inbox rules, they only act if the message reaches the mailbox. Which will never be the case when mailbox-level forwarding or transport rule is used.

I guess, the problem is as you mentioned previously in the message loop.
