I think the best option is to apply rules to forwarded email but not forwarding messages marked as spam would be fine to.

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.

Re: [IMail Forum] outbound rules gone from 2006?
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.

How about setting up a rule
forward for those users to forward anything to their forward address
unless it has the spam header?

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?

any ideas??

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 account.

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).

Re: [IMail Forum] outbound rules gone from 2006?
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 a defect in IAdmin in 8.X versions that showed 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??
