Thanks for this solution. I tested it out and it works, but it doesn’t completely solve my problem.

Is it possible to use wildcards in the mail rule? As posted, your solution would forward messages regardless of whether they were sent in the AM or PM.

I want the ability to forward all messages sent between 3:45 PM and 7:30 AM. Without the ability to add wildcards, I don’t see how I could accomplish this.

Try “02:??:?? PM” or something similar

Great idea! But, can this approach be tailored to use a 12 hour clock format in the message header? (i.e. AM/PM)

I had a less elegant solution for a similar problem (Exchange 2003)

A client had a “pr” generic email address and as in this example wanted the on call person to pick up the emails

I created the generic user account, and set the delivery options to forward onto whoever was first on call.

I then wrote a VBscript that changed the delivery options to a different and ran this as a scheduled task based on the time windows they needed

A bit clunky but it did the trick
