DOCUMENT:Q256294 01-JUN-2001 [exchange] TITLE :XADM: Server Delegate Rule Is Disabled by External E-Mail PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange PROD/VER:winnt:5.5 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:exc55 kbExchange550preSP4fix kbExchange550sp4Fix kbgraphxlinkcritical ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Delegate rules may be disabled when those rules act on e-mail messages sent through a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) port.

After the rule is disabled, the rule does not start, even if the e-mail message is sent from Microsoft Outlook.
