Hello, Does exchange 2007 have an infrastructure to import PSTs which are attached to outlook? if yes, is this mechanism programmable? We do want to filter some content (for example discussion lists and mailing list content). Idea is to import all emails but leave out the mailing list and discussion list emals (there is another system which stores these... so they are not needed in exchange).

Hi, Assuming your basic understanding in powershell scripts, you can build a script around Import-Mailbox cmdlet which will allow you to filter the importing mails according to recipients keyword. BUT i am not if it is possible to filter mails if all recipients are external to domain. Thanks. Vishal Ramnani MCITP - Exchange 2007, MCSE Messaging, MCTS - Win 2008 Config

I agree with Vishal, and also maybe this can be of any help? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691363%28EXCHG.80%29.aspxJonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, Configuration | MCITP: EMA | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

Hi Per my known, according to syntax of the import-mailbox, there is no a syntax to achieve the target directly, but I think it should be. :) And I would do more research about it, and tell you. At present, you could split the email which related with discussion lists and mailing list to a special folder through rules, and then you could use the syntax "exculdefolder" to except the emails.
