Setting up Inbox Rules

[Licensed To Thrill]

Hello.

I'm trying to set up my Inbox to do the following with all
email recieved:

1. Check my address book to see if the replyto address is
already listed. (If it is go to step 2)
a. If it isn't add the email address to the address book.
b. Send a test message to new replyto address.
c. If test message comes back undeliverable, delete
message from Inbox.
d. Blacklist address(i.e. - Block recieving mail)
2. If address is listed and not blocked hold in Inbox for
7 days.
3. On the 8th day move message to "Inbox 7+ Days" folder
and store in folder named for reply to email.

I would appreciate any ideas or instructions anyone would
offer. Right now the major stumbling block (Besides my
ignorance ) has been getting Outlook to automatically
check for and add the replyto email addresses to the
address book. (All of step 1 I assume is going to be
beyond me.)

Thanks again!

Step 1 and 1a require a 3rd party addin - see exlife or inbox rules from
ornic.com.
b and c create unnecessary network traffic and d is pretty useless -
spammers make up new addresses.

Outlook doesn't offer the ability to move messages based on age. exlife or
inbox rules may allow you to do it offline - you'd need to run the rules
yourself.
