[TriEmbed] off topic: MS Outlook email filter

[John Vaughters]

Right, actually I just checked and I can still forward client side, but I think our servers can recognize circular forwards somehow. Not entirely sure, I just don't use that feature, I am like you, if we need forwards, I send it to email admin and let them resolve it at the server. Much safer that way anyway. In general Forwards = bad. But there is a case for everything.

I’m sure you probably can still do client-side forwarding, but that relies on your machine on and client running. I haven’t used the Desktop version of Outlook or an Exchange server in quite a while, but I would be surprised if they took that away (I could believe maybe they moved features to the next ‘enterprise’ tier or something. ) In fact, you could typically do a lot more sophisticated rules client side than server side, since a poorly crafted rule, as you noted, could bring the server down. I used to work somewhere that had a really small quota on mailbox space. I had a client side rule that ran weekly that moved emails over a certain age to a mailbox on my local machine, so I never had to get nagged about a full mailbox, and I could still find that email from a year ago that I needed.
