Exchange Query

Really?

As far as I am concerned the only people who need to read their polices are the system users who will learn all I.T systems and data belong to the company. This includes their e-mail.

As far as compliance goes, especially in the finance world, its law to have archival history of correspondence.

Funnily enough, this is for a financial institution

There is an IT Usage Policy in place (courtesy of moi ) that explains that all electronic data, including e-mail, is kept for security purposes and accountability etc.

As for the OP - we now have a system on the Linux smarthost that generates the 'summary' of mail with attachments courtesy of our Linux devs. And the transport rule also stores all mail with attachments over 1KB in a seperate mailbox.

However! Exchange sees HTML messages rather stupidly, and thinks the MIME part is an attachment, and as such every e-mail is being forwarded to the mailbox. If we were doing it under Linux, we could create a simple rule that says "only forward attachments with an extension" (MIME parts don't have them) - however Exchange's Transport Rule generator leaves a lot to be desired.

Anyone any ideas how to get around this? The mailbox is already huge
