Does anyone know how to make Exchange Server 2003 print an email on receipt.
One email address (say printme@domain.com) needs to be printed as soon as it
arrives in Exchange.
I can do it with rules in Outlook, but I do not want Outllok to have to be
running and open !

Help would be appreciated.

Exchange won't do this "out of the box". Printing is really a client-side
function. You could write a script that pulls messages out of the mailbox
via CDO or POP3, but then you still have to script the application that
formats/prints the message. You might start by looking on MSDN at message
retrieval using CDO.

Sounds like you may need to look into CDO scripting. Try this ling for
Exchange scripting technologies.
