How Do You Copy an Email to a Public Folder (Server-Based Rules)

[JessiRight77]

Hello...

We have an email-enabled security group called "Alerts." We created a
rule so that any time an email is sent to this group, a copy of the
message will also be stored in a public folder.

Our problem: Unless the particular user whose profile contains this
rule is logged in with Outlook open, the rule does not work because it
is "client-based."

I read that "copying" an email was always client-based, but that
"forwarding" the email to a public folder was server-based (and,
therefore, not dependent on the active status of the user's profile).
So... I have tried to create a rule that "forwards," but do not see
the option of forwarding it to a folder (only to a person or
distribution list).

Do anyone know how we can do this using server-based rules?

Thanks,
Jessi

Mail enable the public folder and have it send directly to that folder
instead of via a different user.
