Okay below code bypasses outlook security warnings and programatically forwards e-malis to an external e-mail address. The nice thing about this is you don't need to download any add-ins or use any external products. To implement code, (1) set an outlook rule for incoming mail and (2) Install Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library within Outlook VBA. Cheers!
