Default Outlook rule to "run a script" on shared mailbox

Hi there--

I have a need to execute some SQL Stored Procedures based on the contents of email messages being delivered to a shared mailbox. I've written code and attached it to "ThisOutlookSession" and it works like a charm. The issue I'm running into is in creating a rule to run this code when messages from a specific recipient are delivered to this shared mailbox. I've created an Outlook profile with only this mailbox and created a rule, but it doesn't fire when I try to run it on the messages in the inbox, which definitely meet the rule's criteria.

Is there maybe a better way to go about this? Ideally, a server-based solution not requiring Outlook to be running would be fantastic. If a server-based rule could save those messages to a watched network folder, and spawn some other process to perform the SQL updates, that'd work, too, but I don't think that's possible.

Any pointers would be most appreciated...

==
Chris
