Move Tagged SPAM to Junk Folder


Spam, Outlook 2003, Exchange 2003

Hi All

I have setup a Linux SPAM gateway in front of my Exchange2003 server. It is very efficient and marks spam email by tagging the subject line as SPAM.

After that the emails are sent to Exchange2003.

What I need to do is to have all emails that are tagged as spam to go to the clients junk folder automatically on Outlook2003.

I have used IMF and created a SCL rule that adds 5 to the SCL of each message that has the word SPAM in it's subject. I set the "Block Messages" as 9 and "move to Junk" as 5 in the IMF settings..additionally I configured outlook to show me the SCL values so that I can track what is going on.

The move to junk folder rule worked just fine..however if an email has an SCL higher than 9 it gets archived..I want it to got to the Junk folder instead. How can I achieve that.

Is there a script that allows me to insert such a rule into the Outlook client as an ordinary "Rules And Alerts" rule ?

I mean I simply want tagged emails to go the Junk folder without loosing any email even junk emails. I need them just to go to the junk folder. I have 50 pcs I just can go from PC to PC and insert that rule into outlook 2003 manually.

Thx for any suggestions.
