Yes actually it is if you are talking about Exchange DLs... Consider how email is marked when it comes from an Exchange DL... It isn't coming from the DL, it is coming from the user who specified the DL as an address... The DL is simply used for routing and hiding the TO: list from immediate view... It isn't like say this listserv where the messages come FROM the actual DL. If I recall correctly, Exchange actually expands the group every time it processes the rule for every single message you receive and there is no caching of that expansion... You actually need to be quite careful with this, I reported this as a bug to MSFT some time ago as I watched a series of rules like that that about took out a very high end high perf Exchange server that was scaled to support about 4000 users which only had about 100 on it... If you want to play with it, select some HUGE DL you have, like say an everyone in the company DL and set up a couple of server side rules with that DL. Early last year in some testing I was able to actually cause mail delivery in a production enterprise class environment to be slowed down by hours doing that... Even if I sent a message to myself... joe -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Parris Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 4:05 AM To: ActiveDir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: DL is this to be expected? Morning, When I setup an outlook 2003 rule to move all mails from a DL to a subfolder in my inbox, I see that all mails from this DL go into this folder no problem, but anyone who is also a member of this DL - their mail ends up in there too and not in the inbox. Is this added value? Rule is move all mails as they arrive from DL to subfolder. No other logic. Many thanks.
