Nate, Thanks for the reply. The search string is only '*research-q*'. Isn't this only one word? I didn't think that the matching algorithm for the rules interpreted the '*' as a wildcard. Am I wrong?

Try shortening the string search to less than five words and you should be good to go.

We have a public folder that needs to have a rule which says "take any message with the text '*whatever*' and forward it to another address." If I set up the rule to include a condition that says "from so-and-so" or if I say "forward any message to this address" the rule works. However, if I only specify the contains-specified-text condition, the rule does not fire and the message does not get forwarded. Has anyone seen this? -- Leema _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
