Exception Rules

[Suzanne Joiner]

I am tying to set a rule that will forward all messages I
recieve to another mailbox except for messages coming
from 3 particular email addresses. I was able to set up a
distribution list for these three addresses but can't
find the ability to set a rule that will allow me to
specuify all messages EXCEPT these.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Create a blank rule (so not based on a template) and don't set any
conditions. You'll get a warning that the rule will apply to all e-mails.
Set the action to Forward and set the exception to the distributionlist you
created. Note that the distributionlist gets expanded automatically so when
you add an address to the distributionlist you'll have to update your rule
(unless it is a distributionlist located on an Exchange server)
