That's exactly what I thought...that's why I did create a separate user
called virusbox and I did log into Outlook Express using this account. If I
send a test message to the account virusbox...it's sent and received
successfully. If I send a message that I know will be filtered by the
rules.ima file it doesn't come in via my e-mail client. The only way I can
view mail that's in the virusbox.mbx is by going into the account via Web
Messaging.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] FW: Rules
If you log into Web Messaging and go to manage mailboxes you'll see your
main mailbox and others. If you then create a new mailbox called virusbox
this mailbox will appear in Web Messaging each time you log in and you can
read your mail. If you are using a "POP3" client like Outlook you'll have
to log in as "userID-virusbox" not "virusbox".
If you create a new "user" in IMail Administrator named "virusbox" you
should be able to log into that account as "virusbox". As for the rules, if
you don't want to delete the messages by using NUL, I can't think of any
other suggestions at the moment that would allow a Global Rule to go to one
mailbox only.
