IMHO when it gets to a point of giving users rules they have to
implement themselves then something needs to be fixed on the server
side! :-) A couple of possible solutions is setting a maximum mailbox
size and also the use of group policies if you are using outlook. One
group policy I use is deletion of the contents of the deleted items
folder on shutdown, although with a 3 day cooling down period to recover
deleted items there is a second chance to grab things back. Another
group policy can force auto archiving however its not something I have
used so I cant recall how flexible it is at the moment.
Users may not like it or claim that they have always used the deleted
items folder has a filing system, but as long as you give them
sufficient warning before the rule comes into affect.
Other rules can reduce your mailbox burden on the Exchange server. I use
Groupshield to block a range of attachment types. Not currently movie
files but it's a possibility if its seen as a source of bloated emails.
There's not much you can do about standard office files except maybe
restricting the size of an email. Powerpoint files are usually the worst
offenders here.
