Defining a destination folder for a specific email is trivial in Sendmail, Postfix, Zimbra, Procmail, and so on (ok, not trivial, but easier than writing a transport agent or something) and is fairly common for spam. For IMAP clients and/or users incapable of defining their own rules it seems a valid, abeit imperfect solution.
It is no longer a client function when an administrator needs to apply the same rule to a large group of users mailboxes, regardless of what the technology tries to dictate. From: Michael B.

That seems very much a client function to me than a (normal) server function. Regards, Michael B.

It's just an option, since Exchange doesn't seem to have a simple server-side transport solution for you.

Otherwise, I would suggest an alternate email server for those clients who insist on using or are forced to use a simple mail client. Have Exchange forward mail to unresolved recipients to that mail server where more granular message control can be exercised. _____ From: "KevinM" <kev...@wlkmmas.org> Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 9:10 PM To: "MS-Exchange Admin Issues" <exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Subject: RE: Rules What about for pine clients = ] or chrome clients getting owa lite?

You'd have to depend on Content Filtering to do that for you. For IMAP clients, this should work fine. _____ From: "KevinM" <kev...@wlkmmas.org> Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 5:52 PM To: "MS-Exchange Admin Issues" <exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Subject: RE: Rules I did not see any server side rules that would move to a folder. Are you thinking that I make the rule raise the SCL to the MAX if X is in the header.. that sounds like a good idea.. will it work? From: will...@lefkovics.net [mailto:will...@lefkovics.net] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 4:47 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Rules Isn't there a transport rule condition "when a message header contains specific words"? You could set the SCL based on the presence of X-Spam and have it moved to junk email server side. ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
