The process is exactly what I followed, but the OPD IT department determined that automatically forwarding emails was a security risk and will not allow it. It's beyond my authority to change. Thanks for the info though.

Hi @Raymond Werner

Thanks for the reply! Based on your description, it seems that the policy does not allow setting forwarding rules, so you cannot set up automatic forwarding.
