There is also a utility (IMFilter) which can manage the process of
propagating .FWD and rule files for you - especially useful if your user
base changes frequently.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] global rules
Eg.
Set a global rule to send all messages containing the word BUG message to
the user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This will not redirect the messages to the user [EMAIL PROTECTED] but will create
a mail box called BUG in each users mail folder in which it will place the
messages.
To make it send the messages to the user [EMAIL PROTECTED] you need to put a
bug.fwd file in each users mail folder. This will stop it creating the Bug
mail box in each users mail folder, and forward the message to the user
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The file bug.fwd simply needs to contain the email address to where you
would like messages sent ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
It is possible to write a little batch file to run that will copy the file
bug.fwd into every users folder - saving you time and energy. Copy below:
@echo off
echo.
echo This batch copies the file .\master\bug.fwd
echo into all subdirectories. It has to be started from
echo the root of any of your mail domain's directories.
echo.
pause
rem building userlist based on directory only
dir /B /AD users>dirlist.txt
echo.>rulecopy.log
echo Please wait while the file is copied ...
rem copy the source file to each directory
rem Note that this command must all be on one single line:
FOR /F "eol= tokens=1,* delims=/" %%i in (dirlist.txt) do echo
%%i>>rulecopy.log && copy .\master\bug.fwd .\users\"%%i" >>rulecopy.log
type rulecopy.log
echo.
echo Check file rulecopy.log for details.
echo.
:END
Hope this helps.....
