Hello
I am trying to create outlook rules (server side (exchange 2000)) based on
the recipients secondary SMTP-Address, so when a mail is recieved on this
address the rule should move it to a specified folder in the mailbox (no
PST).
This does not seem to work very well, because Outlook will resolve the name
of the recipient and will not keep the secondary SMTP-Address that I try to
enter in the rule. I have tried to change the settings in Outlook so that it
should not resolve the name, but with no luck. It still resolves the name.
(maybe this is because it is a server based rule?)
So far, so bad... Another strange thing in this, is that I HAVE been able to
create one rule like this, that actually works. This was when I sent a
testmail from a Veritas Backup Exec 9 console and in the Outlook inbox, I
right-clicked on this mail and choose "Create Rule...". I dont know if it was
someting with the formatting in this mail, but after this temporary success
it has never worked again.
Why I want to create these rules, is because I (we) manage hundreds of
servers (for different customers) and are responsible for all backup jobs on
these servers.
So when the responsible person for checking theese backup jobs changes,
instead of changing the notification address on all backup jobs, I will
simply have to move the secondary SMTP-Address on my mailbox to the other
person.
So... Can someone explain to me how i can trick Outlook to accept rules
based on a secondary SMTP address? Or in some other way get this scenario to
function smoothly?
Thanks in advance!
