Sinks will work with SA, I have one pretty much ironed out for 2000/2003 -- a lot better than it was a year ago :) .. (pure perl -- PerlScript).
But I'm not sure how it will do on volume servers. With my small server/volume, it works well for me. P.S. to all that need it.. MS put out a COM object to programatically add rules to mailboxes (Rule.dll - MSExchange.Rules - I think) as a MSDN sample a few years back. It's not as robust as the rules wizard and somewhat undocumented, but it can add a rule to watch the headers for anything you like and move that message to somewhere else. As an Exchange Admin, you could loop through all the users' mailboxes and set this rule up. I've done so successfully for one organization. The good/bad part of this is that users can't see this rule from the rules wizard, so they can't modify/delete it unless they have a somewhat low-level MAPI tool like Outlook SPY.

It looks like i might have to use this solution until we can get around to upgrading to Exchange 2003 which i believe is able to filter using "sinks" Cheers Ben -- "The Edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over."
