Default why an Outlook rule for a specific word in the subject, doesnot always work

I bet there is a 5% chance of this but I'll try -- if your mail server
is running sendmail you could write a procmail rule (basically it's the
same idea, but just rules running on the server) to forward it.

Or, a silly suggestion - copy all of those mails to a linux mail server
and do the procmail there.

Try adding the "And stop processing more rules" directive to the rule.
Without this directive, all the rules you have will be run against a given
message which could be causing the problem.


Thank you, unfortunately your suggestion does not work. In any case,
I test this by "run it now", I run only that rule on all the messages
that were not forwarded to see if they get forwarded, so no other
rules are involved in testing.
