Current version: 1.0.0.252
Purpose
This application moves into a special folder in a user's mailbox any message that carries an X-header or subject line marking it as spam, as added by such tools as SpamAssasin or GFI Mail Essentials. These marked messages can be deleted or forwarded instead of moved. The application allows user to set up to 4 independent rules.
SpamMover can create a folder named Spam (or whatever you prefer) in each Exchange mailbox automatically.
The application is an Exchange store event sink.
If you're looking for more powerful tool, have a look at MAPILAB Rules product.
