I am not thinking too good at the moment, but let's see
how this sounds.
Set up the account normally. Create a rule for the account that
sends any mail with the local IP's to a sub-folder. Like this:
H~10.0.0.:local
Of course replace 10.0.0 with your local block. You could actually
use a global rule to do this for the whole domain. Just create a
rules.ima with the above rule and drop it in your /Imail folder.
You could then access this local folder with your pop client by logging
in as username-local
All other mail will be delivered to the Main.mbx

Subject: [IMail Forum] Filtering intranet and internet e-mail
> Our local e-mail system is going to be set up on the IMail system in the
next month or so. We want to seperate our mail so that anyone who
internally e-mails me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) goes to my inbox and anyone else
gets redirected to another account.
>
> Our network is still being put up, but all of the intranet PCs will have
static IP addresses, so I know which users have which IP addresses. One of
my IT people suggested that every user have two e-mail addresses:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] All mail would be addressed to
our regular e-mail address and internal e-mail (along with those people who
are granted access) would be forwarded to our corp. accounts.
>
> My thought is that there has to be an easier way than having two seperate
e-mail accounts for every user that I have (which isn't that large -- under
30). Can I selectively filter based on the senders IP address? I can't
filter based on address in the "From:" field because anyone can spoof that
field and get around the filter. Internal e-mail **MUST** have priority
over external e-mail. Even if it would be a tedious process to initially
set up these accounts, it would not be a problem because of the small number
of users that I have. Can anyone provide some insight? Is anyone out there
doing something similar?
