You mention open source... If you or anyone there has a modicum of experience with Unixy mail software such as Postfix, Exim, or Sendmail you can do it. I recommend to do this since this kind of SMTP software is a much better Swiss-Army knife for arbitrary mail routing and filtering and you will only very rarely have to do any operational debugging once it is set up. You could probably do this kind of simple functionality on an old Pentium III 512MB server with more than enough performance to spare. Just have a mirrored volume and dual power supplies and you can set it and forget it
I've been waiting a long time, but Exchange just doesn't have these characteristics. It's sorta like how you can't have Outlook rules apply to outgoing mail, apply rules to arbitrary headers, or heck (in the latest version) even maintain header fidelity on replies and forwards. I guess these kind of very basic things aren't a priority as your average secretary or senior executive don't generally know to ask for these features. Someday maybe I.T. will count as a customer too. Rant done, sorry. ~JasonG > -----Original Message----- > From: Ellis, John P.
