Clive, If users create rules in Outlook, they are generally stored and run on the server. The only rules that do not are those that do things like save messages to local PST files, i.e. access local resources not available to the server. Exchange, however, sorts all this out and lets you know which rules can run on the server and which must run on the client. The rules themselves are not as sophisticated as having an Exim filter available, but will do most things that users require - certainly filtering tagged spam is possible.
