This is a Microsoft Issue. To make software for people or as Microsoft claims
"poeple ready software" users need to be notified that the System admin has
not enabled what you are trying to do and suggest a course of action the user
should take. Instead Microsoft keeps missing the point that people need to
use software and continue to keep users in the dark unless they keep up with
tech notes etc. Business people need to do there jobs not figure out how to
make software work, and system admins need to provide solutions for business
needs not patching and fixing software problems. Thanks for your input.

It would be nice when I created the rule using an internet address I
would have been notified as to this restriction. I guess thats not
Microsofts thinking.

The default that automatic replies (like the OOA) and forwards to outside
addresses do not work is documented, but it is totally up to the Exchange
admins whether this default is enabled or not, so it has nothing to do with
"Microsoft's" thinking, and everything to do with the thinking of the
Exchange admins.
