Outlook mail rules help.

Hi,
Does anyone know how i'd go about creating a rule in Outlook 2007 that would allow all incoming mail from the internal domain to be auto moved to a specific folder?
If i set it up like i would an external domain, so 'all mail with @mail.com move to folder mail.com', it doesn't work!
And i'd rather not have one rule for every single person who's on the local domain! lol.

Ideas?

Thanks.

Does adding the address *@mail.com work?

You might have to wild card the first part of the email address for it to work. Just a guess but I think it works.

Edit:- Just tested it on my machine and it appears to work (using different rule conditions)

Ok, with a bit of looking and testing it seems that if you use the condition "with specific words in the sender's address" rule, and specify the specific words as domain.com then it will work.

This is apposed to the condition "from people or distribution list".

Give it a go!

Also tried that, that doesnt work either.

Wierd! The specify words in senders address definitely worked for me.

Could it be your rules playing up? Could use the cleanrules switch to sort it out, but you will lose your other ones.

Nah, its not the rules.
This used to happen at my other job, running Exch 2k7, now this one with 2k3 its happening here as well.
