hi all

i made some rules for routing mails.
does rules where configured on outlook.
there is no pst configuration in this case.

where are those setting?
if the are not on the server, then what if
the user is log off?
or what if there are diffrent setting in another
profile of this user, and he currentrly log on?

is it better to use the delivery option in the exchange?
are there any security issue here?

thanks
aki

Rules in Outlook will work if a user is not logged into Exchange. Some rules marked as client side (eg. using 'Delete permanently' will only work when Outlook is loaded, it will warn you if this the case).
The rules are stored on the Exchange server as part of that user's mailbox, it will transfer if the user changes machine.
It is possible to use the Delivery Options in AD Users and Computers console tool to route mails to another mailbox.

It also uses an .ost file for some "not looged on" settings.
The ost files are usualy at the same place some pst.
