Because it is an alias, there is no "local mailbox
delivery". It never gets rules fired, because you can't set rules on
aliases.
The program alias would not be fired until local
mailbox delivery occurs, so that would be after all IMail and Declude
processing.
Can't speak to imail1.exe replacement, though it
sounds a little risky to me.

executable?
Both
of your suggestions have merit. Will a program alias execute after iMail has
run the message through it's rules? If rules result in the message going to a
particular folder, how would that information be preserved in the hand-off to
the executable?
As
for imail1.exe, does anyone know the extent of what that executable does in
the stock iMail install? Are rules processed before, after or inside this
executable?

have a very non-standard iMail/Declude install. Basically, we only us the
system for the SMTP protocol, as well as virus and spam filtering. Once a
message has passed through those systems, it's delivered to a mailbox as
normal. However, we don't allow POP or IMAP access to our systems. Instead, we
parse the mailboxes when they change, pull out new mail and insert it into a
SQL Server database for access in our web-based CRM. Messed up, huh? >

along into that folder to knock it out. > > Ok, here is my

Qmail, for example, can do this. I doubt there is any out of the box support
for this, so I started investigating using a custom Declude filter for this.

For example, you can set up the test as 'TESTNAME external returnvalue
"filename %INOROUT%"', which would send the %INOROUT% variable as a parameter
to your program (which would be "incoming" for an incoming E-mail, or
"outgoing" for an outgoing E-mail). > > Presumably, we could
