Thanks, Eric! It's all been place for about 2 hours now and seems to be working great. I originally tried this earlier, but made the same mistake you did in your response-- I named the file .ima instead of .fwd. Ooops, no wonder why it wasn't working.
I did end up finding the KB article-- after I needed it, of course. I knew I saw it somewhere: http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-19980612-DM02.htm Here's another doc describing how to move the mailbox.fwd file to all your user directories. Note the FOR command at the bottom that does the work in one command-- you need to use %1 and not %%1 for it to work: http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20000523-DM02.htm TGIF.

They want the spam to not only be forwarded to each user's spambox, but they want it sent to a central spambox as well for monitoring by their IT department. I've scanned the KB and the list archive and can't seem to find a reference on how to do this. I've tried creating multiple inbound rules, one to copy the message to the central spambox and another to move the message to the user's spambox, but it never gets to the user because the first rule processes the message and there's nothing left for rule 2 to hit. I've tried it both ways. Is there a trick to doing this, or am I just missing something? > > I realize I could do this by simply having an inbound rule to copy the message to the central spambox, and then individual user rules.ima files to move the spam with a [SPAM] subject to the spambox... but I'd rather not have to work with all those rules files, because the users are constantly editing them. > > Thanks! > Brett > > To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html > List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ > Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ > To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
