Hi, We have a shared mailbox in Exchage 2007 which forwards messages to a number of employees when a message is received. I would like to stop this from occuring. I have checked the Mail Flow settings Tab of the mailbox and there are no users selected. I have also tried running the following command in powershell. Set-Mailbox -Identity "Projects & Sales" -ForwardingAddress "someone@mycompany.com" -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $false Despite running this command messages are still being forwarded. Suggestions welcomed. Thanks

Can you check whether you have any transport rule configure in exhange.Anil MCC 2011,ITIL V3,MCSA 2003,MCTS 2010, My Blog : http://messagingschool.wordpress.com

No there is nothing configured in Transport Rules.

Are you sure its the shared mbx which is forwarding or another recipient Check cor any rules or hidden rules for that mbx. ? Sukh

it's definitely the mailbox. As soon as I send the message it is then forwarded on to 3 other mailboxes. Sorry not sure where to check for hidden rules. I can't see them in the properties of the of hte mailbox.

Hello, You can use MFCmapi to check the hidden rules: How to delete corrupted and hidden rules from a single mailbox in Outlook 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924297 Delete Corrupted, Hidden or Stale rules from mailbox with MFCMapi (just for reference) http://exchangeshare.wordpress.com/2008/04/10/delete-corrupted-hidden-or-stale-rules-from-mailbox-with-mfcmapi/ Thanks, Evan Liu TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tnmff@microsoft.com Evan Liu TechNet Community Support

Hi, I have followed the instructions provided by Evan (thanks), however let me restate that this is a shared mailbox. When I Right-click Inbox, and then click Open Associated Contents Table (which contains the hidden messages of the Inbox). There isn't an item named IPM.Rule.Message as a Message Class

Create a profile and open the mailbox. Check the rules. If you don't see ay rules then exit outlook and then start outlooks by "Start -> Run -> Outlook.exe /Cleanrules". See if that fises your problem. When you're done, disable the user if it was disabled to begin with. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Thanks Rich for your reply, however this is a shared mailbox not a single user.

not sure what you mean with your last post, even if its a shared mailbox it will have a usr asciayrd with, check the rules first.xSukh

ahh... my mistake. You are correct. Logged in using the user credentials for this mailbox and was able to remove rules. Thanks
