Can an 365 alias have an alias?

@JaredBusch Well that seems so simple. DUH. How do you specify a server rule versus a client rule?

It tells you when you make it if the rule is client only. No way to specify that I know of. Never bothered to look.

If you make on OWA it only makes server side.

@scottalanmiller so If I make a server rule, Outlook will ignore it?

Boy I would hope not. The rule should be applied the instant an email comes into the box. It will touch the server long before Outlook sees it.
-
@Dashrender Ok..so use OWA to make the rule instead of outlook...and then my life just gets better!
Thanks for the assist folks.

Opposite, server side rules are universal because all email is from the server. It is client side rules that are problematic because they only work when the client works. They don't move between clients and they don't work when there is no client or the client is off.
Also with things like BES, client side rules apply after email is delivered rather than before. Server side happen before. So if you use BES you bypass the client rules but server rules apply.

@scottalanmiller Great explanation Scott, thanks.

However with all the power of Outlook, why can't I create a server rule without having to go into OWA?
