this myself..

original box
Pat,
We do what you are mentioning. In each user's directory we have a
virusbox.fwd that is a forward rule for the routing the caught e-mail. In
the .fwd file we have the e-mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is an
alias that routes to the virusbox directory of the people we want to get the
message. It works for us.
We also have a batch process that adds the virusbox.fwd entry to each user
except the users we want to receive the messages. If you want the .bat file
I can send it. We have the batch process scheduled to run nightly so new
users have the forward rule added to their directory.

____________________________________________________________I have in place
a set of inbound mail rules that dumps qualifying inbound traffic via the
:nul box. It works well, but I think its also catching legitimate traffic
as well. Creating a mailbox with a forward does send me a copy of all dumped
mail, but also leaves a copy of it behind in the individual user's box.
I've had a few users discover their "extra" mailbox that gets created via
the web interface and have fortunately been able to stop them from opening
their "extra" mail (groan). Its only a matter of time before someone
activates one of these friggin' things....
I would like to have all of the suspect mail forwarded to a holding mailbox
for inspection and deleted from the user's source mailbox from whence it
came. So far, no dice.
Suggestions?
