Can Exchange 2007 move a message to a particular mb folder?
(Cross-posted in MS TechNet)
Can Exchange 2007 move a particular message to a particular folder within a user's mailbox? It seems like it should have this capability, but I'm struggling to figure-out how!
My SMTP gateway (not an Exchange Edge server) scans for spam. I mark messages with an X-header, then pass them on to Exchange. I want to make Exchange detect messages that contain the X-header and then move them into the user/mailbox's Junk E-Mail folder. Of course I'd prefer to do this in
server-centric style, rather than relying on Outlook rules.
I can make a Hub Transport rule detect the message, and take action as a
result -- but not action to 'move message to Junk E-Mail' :(
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eggy

Rajith,
Thank you. Can I ask for a bit more detail? For instance, the article says "...Messages can also be sent automatically into a particular folder using Exchange transport rules..." I can't find a way to configure that process (IE - to specify the desired criteria (X-header) and action (move to Junk E-mail folder). I have looked into (Hub) Transport Rules, and into Managed Folders and Mailbox Policies, but can't yet see how to use either of them to accomplish my specific goals.
Thanks again for your help. I look forward to your reply.

I don't think Exchange 2007 Transport rules will sort with your sorting of emails by another software.
You will have to find a way out for implementing it with Exchange 2007 rules alone.

Why don't you use the spam filtering options in Exchange 2007 and get the messages to deliver it into a specific folder in Outlook?

Rajith,
Yes, that is a good idea. Unfortunatley not quite suitable for my case. Content Filter Agent is designed to 'delete', 'reject' or 'quarrantine' a spam message. Very reasonable, but my desire is to move the spam messages to users' Junk E-Mail folder -- an action not supported (apparently?) by CFA.
There is indication that Exchange can do this -- refer to SCLJunkThreshold and SCLJunkEnabled parameters described in description of Set-Mailbox command, at http://technet.microsoft.c
Any idea of other settings that may be required in order to make this work?
Thanks Again,
Eggy
