Right now its forwarding them as if they were being sent by the email account im logged in as, is there any way to forward them as a copy from original sender, like G-mail forwards e-mails?

Does redirecting achieve that satisfactorily? If not, then I'm not understanding fully.

can redirecting be set up to be done automatically like forwarding? Cause I really just want automation

cause forwarding forwards it as my email@adress.com; and I want it forwarded as a copy as in Original-Sender@adress.com

Automatic wasn't part of the question. No, filtering does not support redirecting (at least, not yet).

so is there any way to have forwarding forward as the original sender? maybe with an add on or something? as in right now it forwards as MyEmail@example.com, instead of OriginalSender@sent.org

Well, you could create an identity at tools>accountsettings>account at the 'manage identities' button, creating an email id that matches the original one. Then, when forwarding, use the identity as the FROM, but your email id is still in the message content. However, that's a manual process. If there are other ways, I'm not aware of them. Your best bet is to get the sender to stop sending to you. Good luck.

that would be my best bet yes! Uh one last thing, or should I ask a separate question for this? Is there a way to set up forwarding for every mail I Send? Like a uhhhhh permanent unseen Cc

I'm not sure I understand. You can copy or blindcopy on every message you send, if that's what you mean. That is at tools>accountsettings>account>copies&folders.
