Gotta wonder who was thinking what when they did THAT?? a bit LATE to be
thinking ofgetting rid of it AFTER it's deliverd...maybe someone had one too
many to drink????? For all the good that does it's useless.

this is so odd. it never used to be like that.
I just tried messing with my rules and what you say is exactly what happens
in
my OE6 also - I used to use that rule when different viruses were out
there -
like that old snow white one! How frustrating!!
why would you want to delete it from the server after it arrived in your
box -
mine are deleted from my server automatically by my server once they come in
to
me.
too bad it's so difficult to write to microsoft to ask them questions - this
would be a good one for them.

I would like to delete messages from the server but my OE determines in the
message rules that EVERYTHING happens AFTER the message is DELIVERED..you
can't change that. I don't understand why. There are places to indicate you
WANT something deleted from the server but once you hit the final box for
WHAT to delete or more it says " take this action AFTER the message is
deliverd..so it all comes into the mail program..

>From the Kim Komando List:

--> GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE WARNINGS ON VIRUSES
Internet attacks have become so serious that the government has
started issuing e-mail warnings. Its first warning went out for
MyDoom. You can sign up for the warnings at:

     http://www.us-cert.gov/index.html

Additionally, many people have been having problems with mail getting
"stopped" or "jammed" on there ISPs.  I had two instances in the past
three days.  Investigation determined that a SPAMer was sending a SPAM
message for a resort location (same SPAM message both times).  The
header of this SPAM had hundreds and hundreds of e-mail addresses in
it to try to spoof the real sender.  There were so many addresses in
the "from" and "To" of the e-mail, that I was unable to get to it even
using programs that read the mail on the server rather than
downloading it (SPAM removal programs, and the "server" function in
Poco).  I finally called my ISP and got it deleted, and a filter put
in place at the ISP level.  They were able to determine that actual
source as:

mailbox.co.za

I would strongly recommend that you make filters in any SPAM or e-mail
programs you use that block that domain.  Have the filters delete the
message from the server.
