Default Advice on custom filtering

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.

Default Advice on custom filtering

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

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.
