Thanks Steve, that makes thing works as expected... I wasn't sure
about the real meaning of that feature even when I read it a couple of
times.

But now that I'm reading mail logs I see that MS achive mails before
content checkings. Is it posible to change the order MS archive mails?
Maybe something like archiving before or after spam/virus/dangerous
content checking, or even better let this option to rules decision
