In Exchange 2000 I was able to write rules that I could apply to users and groups. I Typically set up auto delete from folders by date range. This was to help with empting deleted folders and sent folder of users that typically never emptied either. Anyway I can't find my way on Ex Server 2003 to set up these same kind of rules I see all kinds of examples of creating rules but I'm missing step one. Finding the location of the rules creation app in Ex 2003. Any help/direction is appreciated. Most likely I just can't see the forest for the trees but I am stuck at the moment. If I'm in the wrong forum my apologies.ThanksJohn.

Hi John, For Exchange 2000 and 2003, they use Recipient Policy to control when the message should be deleted from Mailbox: How to use recipient policies to control mailboxes in Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319188/en-us Thanks, Mike

Thanks Mike,I was lost on the process/app name. "Recipient Policies". You answered my question and I learned a new thing. If I learn a second thing I'll be twice as smart!ThanksJohn
