We are Exchange server 2000, fully service packed running on Win 2000 server and Outlook XP clients running on XP. I have a user whose rules have got above the 32K limit, there are 16 rules,most of which are specifying “if mail comes from this user or that user or thisother user or yetanotheruser etc move it to a folder.”, there is about 10 or 12 addresses in each rule
I believed that moving these users into a distribution list, and using that rather than the list of users, MS KB 214325 , would save us some space, unfortunately it would appear that you cannot use local distribution lists, with server side rules as I get this error when I try “my group is a personal distribution list that may not be used with this feature. Would you like to use the individual members of”mygroup”, clearly using the members of the group would save no space at all.
It is not practical for the user to use the Global Distribution lists for this purpose as they would need rights that I am not prepared to give.
It is not practical to use Client side rules as this has to be server side to work when the user is not logged in.
Am I missing something or does anyone know of a third party product that will work with server side rules and manage lots of rules using email addresses stored as contacts and organised into local distribution groups
