Mail Notification

J

Jim

Hi,
Problem: Our senior users have two Outlook mailboxes - one regular and one
private. The regular one is monitored by secretaries, the private one is not
as confidential mail is sent there. The users need to be notified by an
email to their regular account when a message is sent to their private one.
Obviously the original message cannot be forwarded.

We originally had this working with an agent script on the Exchange server
mailbox. This has been very unreliable with the scripts freezing for no
apparant reason and then they would stop working, which is not acceptable.
The other problem is that we had to write a custom script for each mailbox.
We have a journal mailbox that receives every incoming and outgoing email
and runs a couple of inbox rules. My preference is to write a 'New Mail'
event or 'with events' script that analyses every incoming email to see if
it is for a private mailbox and then sends an email as appropriate.

I'd be very grateful for any advise as to whether this is the best approach
(or should we look again at the agent script problem). We receive several
thousand messages a day - will running this script that many times a day
cause a problem (memory leaks?)?

Thank you so much, James
