The question was more of a rhetorical nature...:-)

> This was brought to me by an admin assistant to a lawyer, who expects that all of his email gets delivered to both of them.  I had a rule set up in their email system to do such a thing, but if he opens the email BEFORE the rule fires, it's no longer "unopened" and doesn't forward.  Even though it's NOT supposed to work like that -- it does .. bug or feature.

She wanted "something done about it".  I explained to her that her boss wanted as FEW spam controls as possible, as their clients don't admin their own email systems, and rely on brain-dead admins (or brain-dead shared mail systems) who can't configure mail software or domains to RFC specs - and thus get flagged as spam.  Since he's involved in multi-billion dollar deals for his clients, I turned many of the big spam rules off for them - and they do get spam.  It's the whole "can't have cake and eat it too" things..

Ok, so ... Did they elect to go for a solution with more control(s)
and a forward-in-a-ruleset on Non Spam Actions? Or did they decide to
b...h about it?:-P
