I have automatic forwarding set on my ISP email account to forward to my Outlook 365 (Outlook 2013 Exchange Server) address. I would like to have a rule that recognizes such forwarded messages. I haven't been successful in writing a rule based on the (original) ISP address to which the mail was sent.

I would like to have a rule that looks at the IP mail header. I was quite successful in writing that kind of filter in Eudora. However I can;'t get Eudora to work with Outlook 365 and the IT staff doesn't know about Eudora or want to spend time solving my POP3 problem.



Is there any way I can get Outlook rules to work with information in the IP mail header? Or is there some other work-around?

One of the rule options is to look for specific words in the mail header, but if the message is forwarded it may have FW: in the subject?

The header information displayed by Outlook is inadequate for my purposes. I want to look at the real internet header for such fields as "X-Mailer:" Is that possible?

Not so! The header information accessible by the rule is the complete header, so if you want to search for (say)
X-Mailer: PHPMailer (phpmailer.sourceforge.net)

then use that text in the rule.



You can view the complete header for an individual message by opening the message and clicking the arrow at the bottom right of the Tags group on the message ribbon.
