Hope this doesn't get to confusing for anyone, but it's a strange situation.
We have IMail as an inbound/outbound gateway for our Exchange boxes.  The
naming convention is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we want to make sure that
nothing gets to Exchange that isn't to an address of that naming convention,
so basically, if it hits IMail and it isn't addressed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] we want it blocked.  We currently have in place the
following rule:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This does exactly what it is supposed to, however it does it to well.  These
forum messages for example, get picked off by that rule, because the from is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and the to address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  The only time [EMAIL PROTECTED] shows up
is in the x-rcpt-to line, which to my understanding is written post rules
processing (right?).  The same holds true for any message in which my user
name is in the BCC field of the envelope.  

This rule in itself actually catches more "accurate" spam than the anti-spam
filters, due to the nature of the emails that people in the company receive,
so removing the rule is not a very viable option.  I have spoken with, in my
opinion, one of the most knowledgeable techs at Ipswitch and we came to the
decision that this could not be done to a good degree of accuracy.  So now I
will enlist the creativity of the forum to see what other ideas we can come
up with to make this work.  Feel free to contact me on or off the list in
regards.

Thanks
