Outlook rules only run for external messages

I am running Outlook 2003. I have an issue with rules who deson't fire
automatically. Specifically, I have a rule that looks like this:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
from <My Exchange account>
run Project1.ThisOutlookSession.<my function>
and mark it as read
except if my name is in the To or Cc box

The function creates a task with info from the mail, but that's not
the issue here. When I run this mail manually, it executes perfectly,
but it doesn't fire automatically.

I then updated the rule to read:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
from <My Exchange account> or <my web mail account>
<everything else unchanged>

This rule does trigger automatically for mails from my web mail
account, but still doesn't trigger for internal mails. Running the
rule manually works as it should in either case.

What is happening here and what can I do about it?
