    Hi,

    suggestions did not fix the issue.

    I further checked and found if outside sender sending mail to this group, the rule does not work. Inside sender mails sending to this group is ok.

    if the outside sender sending directly to individianl mailbox, the mailflow rule will work.

    It sounds if I like the rule working, I would like to inform outside partner send the mail one by one intead of send group.

    Post the rule details here. A common problem is matching the address, make sure that the rule has the "Header or envelope" setting selected (under "Match sender address in message").

    Hi @liuwei@cesm

    Aside from the suggestion provided by michev, it's also suggested to try replace the external gmail account with the complete email address and check the result:
