This will not work since you got e.g. in Exchange virtuell recipients and I know people that really likes to register on ML etc. with these addresses on the one hand and setting these messages on the other side. To avoid such things the first step needs to be done on user side e.g. forcing them to create folders for lists and setting such rules only folder wide. But I doubt this will be very successful as well as you can educate everybody around. Cheers, Frank -- http://frank.uvena.de/en/
