content filter pattern + limiting to incoming messages only

[david]

Hi there,

I have several domains set up on AMS and I want any incoming mail that's sent to any sales@... to be redirected to a specific mailbox. I tried the following filter: Any SMTP recipient contains "sales". I understand this will catch also emails sent to salesperson@... or bigsales@..., but I couldn't figure how I could set a filter that does something like the following regular expression: ^sales@, which means that this expression will match only if sales stands at the beginning of the address and it has a @ after the word sales.

Happy if you could clarify whether that's possible.

Another problem I found is that this rule I added catches also all outgoing messages too.. How can I limit it to catch only incoming ones?

Thanks a lot!
David.

You should set up the following conditions:

1 - Any SMTP recipient starts with "sales@" (not case sensitve)
2 - AND Any recipients exist locally

You can use the preset rule "Send Copy of All Incoming Mail To" to cheat on how to create the incoming or outgoing mail conditions (No. 2 in this example). I've put recipients existing (incoming mail) second just because its a more expensive call so slightly more efficient this way. Note also the "starts with" in the first condition with the match string "sales@" so that it has to be "sales@anythingelse".

Thanks! Will test it and get back if something doesn't work.
