Default INVISIBLE or HIDDEN RULE?

Greetings all - I'm curious to inquire and see if there is any way to
create a rule on an employee's computer that would forward certain
messages to an account that we are setting up that can NOT be seen
from that employee's computer. Sort of the like Hidden files and
such.

Please let me know!

Thanks all!

You would have to run an event sink on that mailbox to do what you want.
There are no "hidden" rules.

Isn't the Junk E-mail rule hidden, in that one must use a tool like Outlook
Spy to see it?

It's not really a rule though - that's why you can't control when it runs.

As Diane said, it's called a rule but it isn't. It's really a pre-processor
that handles items as they are delivered.

In fact, in Outlook 2007 they rearranged the incoming queues so items first
come into a hidden folder (you can see it in OutlookSpy) before they are
moved to Inbox. The junk filter then processes the items in that hidden
folder so that's one reason it appears that items take longer to show up in
Inbox after a send/receive, it's the time they spend in that holding folder.
On one of my systems it's called "SPAM Search Folder 2".

I truly appreciate the education.

Are you using Exchange server? If so, yes, you can do that but will need
either an event sink or a 3rd party content control tool.
