Can Exchange 2007 move a particular messages to a particular folder within a
users mailbox? It seems like it should have this capability, but I'm
struggling to figure-out how!

My SMTP gateway (not an Exchange Edge server) scans for spam. I mark
messages with an X-header, then pass them on to Exchange. I want to make
Exchange detect messages that contain the X-header and then move them into
the user/mailbox's Junk E-Mail folder. Of course I'd prefer to do this in
server-centric style, rather than relying on Outlook rules.

I can make a Hub Transport rule detect the message, and take action as a
result -- but not action to 'move message to Junk E-Mail' :(

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eggy

BTW, some additional info... ...There is indication that Exchange can do this
-- refer to SCLJunkThreshold and SCLJunkEnabled parameters described in
description of Set-Mailbox command, at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123981(EXCHG.80).aspx. Notes for
SCLJunkEnabled state: "The SCLJunkEnabled parameter specifies whether
messages that meet the SCL threshold specified by the SCLJunkThreshold
parameter will be moved to the Junk E-mail folder." However, this is not
happening in my case.

Ideas Welcome!

In Transport Rules you have the option "Set the spam confidence level to a
value".
Moving a message to Junk mail is based on the SCL value of a message.
If you set an appropriate value Outlook will move the message automatically.

Gabriele,

Thank You. Yes, that approach is suitable for many implementations. In my
case I want to avoid reliance on Outlook, and have all processing done on
Exchange server.

Any idea of how to accomplish that?

Thanks,
Eggy

Assigning SCL to messages scanned by 3rd-party antispam filters

Actual moving of the message is not dependent on Outlook - you need to have
the JunkMail rule in your mailbox. This can be enabled in OWA (if you
haven't logged on using Outlook) or using a script.

Bharat,

Thank you. That could be very helpful ("Turning on Filter Junk Email in
Exchange 2007 via an OWA Script"). Just today I learned the key that you
mentioned -- that Junk E-Mail Filtering must be enabled -- in order to
acheive the goal I'm seeking. I thought it would require each mailbox owner
to manipulate the setting, which is very inconvenient, and it was good to
learn of the script.

Thanks very much!
