This article was previously published under Q254800





SYMPTOMS
When you create a rule in Microsoft Outlook 2000 to process new e-mail messages from a custom global address list recipient (SMTP) that is not in the organization and you configure the rule to forward the e-mail messages to another custom global address list recipient (SMTP) that is not in the organization, the rule does not work and Event ID 1033 is written to the application log.



CAUSE
When you create the rule the information store uses the Distinguished Name (DN) internally to compare the addresses, instead of both the SMTP proxy address and the DN.
