Default Advice on custom filtering

Thanks. I had an idea of what i had to do but was just throwing it out there
hoping that perhaps i missed something or that there was an alternate option
for achieving my goals .

Was trying the think tank approach.

Thanks again.

In a way, you already answered your own question: "the add in would still be
filtering mail at the server level" means that unless Outlook is running
24/7 on the user's desktop, any filtering application that goes beyond
Outlook's capability for creating server-side rules would need to be
implemented at the server level, i.e. as an Exchange application, not an
Outlook add-in. That's a completely different type of application, with
dependencies on the specific version of Exchange involved. Exchange
documentation starts at http://msdn.microsoft.com/exchange/ with discussions
in the microsoft.public.exchange.development newsgroup or in the web forum
at http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/...=838&SiteID=17

Ok so redemption didn't solve my earlier problem for scaling with the 32K
message rule.

If i create an outlook plugin that read the incoming messages and filtered
them manually though it would. The only problem is and although not
necessary
i would like to do it in a way that would always be working behind the
scenes. By this i mean if someone checked on their exchange box via
webmail
the add in would still be filtering mail at the server level.

What options would i have to do this? Is this something i would have to
create for exchange to act on a specific mailbox level or?

Essentially i want to scan each incoming mail message's body field, find a
specific line and if that line is found dissect it and move the message to
a
folder based on whats in this line. Simple enough just need the options i
have to make it always run regardless of if the user is using webmail,
mail
from their mobile device or outlook 2007 to read mail.

Thanks in advance.
