Using distribution lists for sorting rules
Hello. I wanted to ask what may be a ridiculous question. I've found in the
general help file, that there are two ways to use distro lists and rules. A) Sent to distro list = Any message sent to the specified list is sorted to the folder specified B) Sent from people = Any message sent from persons within the specified distro will be sorted to the folder specified. However, method B is not working for me. I create a rule, for messages sent from people, and specify several distros within my company, and the messages don't sort. I've checked to make sure the senders are within the specified distros, and they are. However, it seems that outlook is not comparing the sender to the contents of the distro to sort it. The reason I ask this question, is that I would rather like to sort by distro, so that everyone in specific IT depts in my company are sorted to the proper folders, without me having to change the rule every time someone is moved in a department. But I create rules (EX Any mail sent from members of the IT - Desktops team to go to IT Desktops folder) the messages that these rules apply to sit in my inbox. The rule is active, and it works when I add ALL the members of the distro individually. But this defeats the purpose of the rule, as then, if someone moves from Desktops, to say, Network, then I have to change the rule manually. Any ideas??? |
