Can I Redirect Mail With a Server-Based Rule - 28.Apr.2001 9:42:00 AM

A number of folks on our LAN are receiving mail from a particular address which we would like to continue to have delivered to the addressees but also have a copy placed in a public folder. We do not want to implement the rule at the client-level but to make the rule effective for all users. It is important that none of the mail from this address be missed by our office regardless of whether the individual recipient is checking his/her mail. Can this be done?

Can you ask the sender to add an address to their distribution list ? if so, every Public Folder also has (or one can be added) an Internet email address. No rules would be necessary then.

No. The sender is a government agency's automated record-keeping system. It automatically sends an e-mail to whatever single address we supply. If we could specify multiple addresses we wouldn't have a problem to begin with. The problem is that we want all messages from this agency to go into a public folder so that our mailroom can scan for messages that are directed to those who may not receive their e-mail. We need a fail-safe system for catching every single communication from this agency. It can't depend on setting up a rule for the Outlook clients. Too chancy. So, my question is really just as I posed it: can I set up a rule at the server level that will direct a copy of each incoming message into a public folder (or to an alternative address). Apparently, the answer is no.

Create a distribution list with the inboxes of those folks you would have receive a copy of the email, which could also include a public folder as mentioned in another post. Then give the agency the email address of the distribution list, they send email to the distribution list, you control who receives it. One-to-many distribution.

Thanks, but these workarounds are not usable. I can't control who the e-mails come to; they are addressed to individual attorneys in my law firm. But I do know that the United States District Court for the Northern District of California will always use the same sender's address. That's why I framed the problem as I did. I am convinced that Exchange Server does not permit simple rules-based redirection of incoming mail, e.g., to deliver a copy of all incoming mail from the United States District Court of the Northern District of California into a public folder. The fact that the only responses to my question are workarounds that won't work increases my doubt that the rule can be set up at the Exchange Server level.

make the government agency mail only to the public folder email address and set a folder assistant to forward content to a DL which includes your LAN recipients.

Bingo! Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. Folder Assistant did not jump out at me from any of the documentation and how-to books I thumbed through. It's even in the place where I probably should have looked for it.... oh well.

I would like to setup a rule on the server that every mail comming from a *** domain should go by copy to a specified internal e-mail address.
Is this somehow possible with Exchange 5.5?
Thanks

Folder assistant is accessed through outlook client. Right Click on the folder, left click properties. If you have sufficient access privilege, you will be able to use the folder assistant.
