The best work around I have come up with is to use aliases.  If you have users who forward ALL their email to a hotmail (or other) account then create an alias for them.  Use the alias to forward the email.  If they need to retrieve the email at an address on the imail server the create a second email account for them to use to 'pop' their email.

Not pretty but it works.  When we have individuals leave the organization we create a new account for them, copy the residual emails to that account and then create an alias to forward any future emails they relieve to their manager. 

Fortunately aliases abide by spam rules.

You can also do your forwarding based on a rule such as:

If subject doesn't contain x-imail-spam forward to user.....

Tripp,
Since you are the president of Messaging Products can you tell us when they are going to fix the way the built in forwarding rule works so it doesn't forward on the spam as well?

How am I going to tell my 2000+ users that they need to use a rule or an alias if they want to forward their email??? this does not make any sense and there is no way to do it. Its not even a workaround.

Please provide a better solution. Like a bug patch. This is a HUGE bug, its causing me a blacklist in hotmail and yahoo, enough to make my customers walk away. For a commercial solution ipswitch should show a little sense of responsibility.

Thanks.

1) Rules can be set on the domain level as well.

2) There is a methology to the way Imail handles and delivers email. It is a specific path. You are trying to alter the route. There are other ways.

3) Many of us do not use Imail Anti-spam measures. We use other 3rd party products that are better.
