Hi

first of all, sorry if crossposting is not done here.

In the office we have one standard windows 2003 DC running Exchange 2003
SP2.
In the past each client popped its mail from the ISP's mailbox. A few weeks
ago I let our ISP modify the MX record so our Exchange handles all mail
delivery.

Some of us have outlook rules like "if mail from @domainname.com", move it
to the folder "domainname". Ever since our Exchange is handling the mail,
these rules no longer work. All mails just appear in the inbox. If I run the
rules manually, the mails do get sorted in their respective subfolders, but
I can't ask all my colleagues to run them manually each morning.
If I create a rule like 'if mail from ", move it to the
folder "domainname", they do get automatically sent in their correct
subfolder. But for some customers we would have to create maybe 20-30 rules
(one for each employee they have). Shouldn't my rule that used to work when
I popped the mail work when Exchange handles the mail?

thanks
David

Crossposting is fine.
Sadly you're going to have to find another way of making those rules
work. I know what you want to do and Outlook won't do that to you when
connected via MAPI to Exchange.

That said, is the rule server side or client side? (If it's client
side you will see "client side" next to the rule)
You might need to recreate or at least modify the rule.

Change the condition to "with specific words in the sender's address" and
let "domainname.com" be the specific words.
