i have set up a rule in Outlook 2007 to forward email to my blackberry when
it comes from an individual.

Does Outlook have to be opened in order for this to happen? i have Exchange
2003 and Outlook 2007 and will like this rule to execute when email arrives
in exchange even if outlook is not open.

Thanks for your help,

The rule should work if Outlook is closed since the Exchange Server should
do the work. Just make sure the rule shows as a server-side rule.
 
this is the rule I have that doesnt work:
From People or Distribution List
Apply this rule after the message arrives
from: email addresses
forward it to: email address {my blackberry addr}

I have gotten numerous email from people in the distribution list BUT none
were forwared to my blackberry email. I tested my blackberry email by
sending myself an email and it works fine. Thus, the problem resides with
the rule.

thanks, for any help you can provide

The rule will forward mail from the DL, not people IN the DL. If you receive mail from DivisionMail DL and Mary, John and Bob are all in this DivisionMail DL, you will not receive mail from the individuals Mary, John or Bob.

It is much better to use categories for contacts to be able to quickly and on the fly configure rules and other items to use the category rather than a DL. Create a category called "blackberry forwarding" and add that to the contacts you want forwarded to your blackberry. Then modify your rule to use the category.

For this to work you need two rules - one that assigns the category based on
the sender and a second that forwards mail with that category.

Sorry but I dont understand. My rule is as follows:
1) apply this rule after email arrives from email addresses. All these
emails from outside NOT from the domain or my exchange.

2) Forward it to: my blackberry email addr which is also out of the domain.
Basically a POP email assigned to me when I got the blackberry with data
services.



The rule will forward mail from the DL, not people IN the DL. If you
receive mail from DivisionMail DL and Mary, John and Bob are all in this
DivisionMail DL, you will not receive mail from the individuals Mary, John
