Can you use the rules for the SMTP as well as the POP3? I am trying to
prevent different viruses from ever being sent out. For example the newest
email one LIFE_STAGES.txt.shs
Can I block attachments like that?
Let me know

As Kirk Mitchell pointed out, the key is to have a forward file in each
user folder for that rule
In rules.ima I have:
H~blah:spambox
H~blah:virus
I then put a spambox.fwd and a virus.fwd file into each user folder. In my
case, both have
abuse
as the forward destination. I then DO NOT put those forward files in the
abuse account's folder. Now all mail that triggers my rules file will be
tagged for either a virus or a spambox mailbox, all messages for either of
those mailboxes are forwarded to abuse and in the abuse account I now have
three mailboxes: Main, spambox and virus. I can then deal with the
messages in those mailboxes as needed.
