That's just the way the system was designed;
inbound rules only apply to messages as they are being delivered to a
mailbox. Since a forward is not locally delivered, the rules are never
called. It would be a nice option to apply rules even if there is a
forward file, but then we need to decide which would take precedence.
Another option could be to not forward messages marked as spam.

I appreciate that, really. I don't understand how
forwards ignore rules but I guess it wasn't brought up before. We have many
clients that forward business email to AOL which we much prevent due to AOL's
policy. It would also be greatly beneficial for us to also retain messages we
believe are spam rather than pay for the bandwidth to send them somewhere
else. We're already paying to receive that crap so paying more to send it off
to verizon or earthlink kinda sucks.

I agree that's a lot of extra work, but
applying rules after a forward is a feature that we don't currently
support. Just looking for alternatives to give you what you need for
now.

setup a rule for each user??
This is a
BIG problem and getting bigger as we take on more customers. I don't think
this is going to be solved by creating rules on an individual basis for
very long.

those users to forward anything to their forward address unless it has

I would have to sift through thousands of
emails. I'm trying to create less work not more.

The correct solution is to fix Imail so that
one or the other functions.

Not so far. How
about putting the spam in one account rather than back in the
account that mail is being forwarded from?

My understanding is your users are
setting a forward for all of their mail to another account (AOL
for example) and never checking their mail locally; is this
correct? If you are sure the message is spam, have you
considered setting the spam action to delete?

yes, this was a result having
rules that are ignored when forwards are in
place.

So if someone is
forwarding mail to a remote domain that contains a spam
header you want it to be delivered to a specific mailbox for
the sender? I'm drawing a blank on how to configure
that. I'll think on this for awhile.

not a different account but
the one it was to be forwarded
from.

Yes, you can use an
outbound rule to forward the message to a different

Re: [IMail Forum] outbound rules gone from 2006?
ok, great. So if we
create the rule which says to move the mail to say
'spam' it will end up in the correct email
account?
Tripp Allen wrote:
The rules are loaded
based on the IPed host domain that is sending the
mail. Create the outbound rule for the IPed
domain that belongs to the ip sending the mail
(probably the primary host).

Kevin gave me a
workaround for a problem we have with forwards to
AOL which involved setting an outbound rule. Since
we can't give every domain on our server an IP to
do this we're kinda stuck.
The problem is
that rules won't apply to forwarded email so an
outbound rule must be added. Now, we can't do an
outbound rule since they don't exist on
virtuals.
One of these options needs to be
corrected somehow???

I believe there was

the outbound rules tab for virtual domains, but
they don't work that way. Outbound rules
only work for IP domains.

I only see outbound
rules on domains with an IP. This used to be a
feature for virtuals wasn't
it??
