Exchange 2013 (on premise) Disclaimer Rule not working for distribution/security group

Greetings,

This should be simple, so I've most likely missed something somewhere. Defined a new rule using EAC, mail flow, rules. Simple rule to add a disclaimer to mail for users in a group.

Apply this rule if... The sender is a member of... some group
Do the following... Append the disclaimer.... blah blah blah disclaimer text
Priority 0
Audit this rule with severity level: Low
Choose a mode for this rule: Enforce
Match sender address in message: Header

Built a new distribution group using the EAC, added users, configured the rule, ask them to test by emailing me, NO JOY! No disclaimer added. Okay, build a new security group using EAC. Add myself to the group, send test email to myself. No Joy. Build a new distribution group using AD, add myself, test, no joy. Change the rule, apply the rule if the sender is... Me. Test the rule, it works.

So, the rules are working and the rule just me works. The rule to a group, security or distribution, doesn't work.

Now, I can change the rule, add the users individually to the rule, and see if it'll work. If it does, that may do the trick for now, but ongoing maintenance is going to be a significant effort, managing the rule each time a user comes or goes, rather than just adjusting the group membership.

I've read a number of posts already, describing this process and followed their instructions. No luck. I've seen reference to looking at the transport logs, but, where are these logs now? I don't see them available in the EAC, does that mean going through the \LOGS folder(s) and browsing through all the text files??? How does one check/test to see why the group is failing?

Probably get this figured out just in time to upgrade to 2016...

Thanks in advance,

Steven
