I have setup a mailbox with about 40+ different SMTP addresses. I have
a vendor sending a report to this mailbox that I need to reroute based
on which of the SMTP addresses it was sent to. I create a rule in
Outlook but it doesn't work, and all the emails show in Outlook like
they were sent to the display name of the mailbox. I can save the
message as unicode and see the actual SMTP, but I can't tell from
inside Outlook. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can do stuff with rules or color coding based on the SMTP address in the
header. But much depends on your version of Outlook, which you have not
mentioned.....nor have you mentioned your mail account type. I presume
Exchange, but please be as detailed as possible so nobody has to guess.

Sorry, I'm using Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2000.

OK - see if you can do something with a rule, based on the SMTP address in
the header.
