Which is it? Exchange or some other mail server? In an Exchange environment,
messages coming from Outside will have Internet headers that internal
messages don't carry.
A good rule troubleshooting technique is to have each rule add a unique
category to the message. That way, you'll know exactly what rules fired on a
given message.
