If this use of Outlook is in conjunction with MS Exchange, then you may not be able to resend messages as suggested in the wiki. From my basic understanding of how Exchange works, a user cannot resend a message unless they are designated as an authorized proxy user for that sender or change the sender to be themselves. Not sure if this is still the case with Exchange 2003 (or whatever was the latest) but it was definitely the case with Exchange 5.5. In our environment, the only way around this was to create to Public Folders for ham and spam and then using a *NIX-based IMAP access script to get at the messages from our SA box (RH Linux). Good luck, J.
