Most email programs have "rules" or "filters" that allow you
to take action on email as it arrives. Outlook certainly has
a "forward to" function that would serve as that kind of notification.
The only issue is that you need to make sure your email client
is running, and periodically downloading email for those rules
to trigger.
Thanks for asking,
Leo
