To check for forwarding, use:

Get-Mailbox user@domain.com | fl ForwardingAddress,ForwardingSmtpAddress

To check for any Inbox rules that might be forwarding mail, use:

Get-InboxRule -Mailbox user@domain.com

Hi Uddan,

Are you speaking about the outlook level forwarding rule or Mailbox level forwarding rule which we can set form Exchange server.

If you are speaking of Mailbox level from exchange server you can simply go to users mailbox properties in mailflow and disable the forwarding option.

If you want to remove rule from outlook you can use the MFCMAPI tool to do it.

Hi,

In addition to the above suggestions, I would like to clarify the following thing:

You can use the Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $false cmdlet to prevent users to forward messages from server side. But it can't change the rules that were created from client side (Outlook).

Hope this can be helpful to you.

Best regards,

Thanks Vasil and Deepak!

I'm referring to the Inbox Rule that can be configured through Outlook/WebApp or Shell (New-InboxRule -redirect).

This method works fine

EAC >  Mailbox Features > Mail Flow > Deliver Options > Enable Forwarding
