Paul, I just tested this, it strikes through the Sender and Subject and inserts "Message Expired" into the body, but it does not delete the message?
I sent a single test message to myself and to another user. I did not read either message, set it to expire in 30 minutes. Message to myself vaporized, not in Inbox or Deleted Items. The other user still has the message in their Inbox as stated above? My test bed is EX 5.5SP4 and OL2002 however, does E2K behave differently? ~Mark -----Original Message----- From: Hurst, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 3:41 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: EDU Migration Question Set the 'expiry time' parameter on the Email? Cheers Paul Standards are like toothbrushes, everyone wants one but not yours -----Original Message----- From: Fay, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 November 2002 18:45 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: EDU Migration Question I'm preparing a design to migrate campus students from Sendmail to E2K. One of the clients objectives is to achieve like functionality for the following task: To search for specific messages by subject and/or sender and delete them. The scenario being that Faculty or Network staff has sent out notices over some time period and students have been away for an extended period and not checked their mail. These messages have accumulated and the Network staff wants to remove these messages. Today this is performed on the Unix Host. And yes, mailbox size warnings and limits will be implemented. Can this same functionality be achieved on the Exchange Server without a 3rd party tool? I don't believe Mailbox Manager is a solution since it is based on age limits. My client does not want to delete unread messages older than xx days arbitrarily.
