Hi,
I would like to set up a rule (using built-in behavior) to send a message to a different email address upon reciept of a specific email.

If Message Arrives
from "SpecificEmailAddress"
Send New Message to "Custom Email Address" w/ "Custom Subject"

I am kind of able to do this by selecting "have server reply using a specific message" However, this does two things, It does what I want, but it also tries to reply to the Sender. I DO NOT want it do that. I just want it to send the custom message to the custom recipient.

It is also not an option to do it via a "script" or "custom action" I can't use any add-ins. I need to devise a scenario where any user with the basic build of Outlook 2003 can accomplish the above task w/ one rule.

If it's not possible, it's not possible. Just hoping it is.



Thanks,
~Hendel

Hendel,

Instead of sending a Custom Email message to the Custom address have you attempted to create a message template instead?

The thing with Outlook rules, functionality is limited. I attempted to create a test rule using my Outlook 2010 and was succesful in generating as rule that was received from a specific recipient and replied using a template..

Since you want a general message sent to the reciepeint try altering Send New message with send message template or corresponding rule parameter.

Hope This helps.
