Hi Guys,

Okay this is the scenario:

One of the partners here at our firm is a rule junkie, creating individuals rules for all his sectioned clients. (a couple of hundred).

Now obviously the standard size by default is 64KB, which I increased via powershell to the max, 256KB. And still he manages to reach it.

I have done research and self testing, managing his rules such as removing duplicates, making use of internal exchange distribution etc etc.

I had this idea to manually create a contact group and adding each of his clients to that group, and assigning a rule to the contact group, problem is, Outlook won't take groups but individual emails only, which is a no fly.

No other solutions where found so far. :cry:

I'd really appreciate a better workaround, as in a possible permanent one that needs minor adjusting on his part.

Running O365 Pro Plus, with E3 license, migrated to Exchange Online.
 
Okay, getting a lot of views at least.

To make it a bit easier, I want to accomplish the following:

Add a bunch of contacts to a group, setup a rule to move all emails received from this group to a specified folder.
 
Hi There,
Rules are great but sometimes the flexibility one wants is not there,
Could you not use the contains text in the senders address to act as a virtual group. eg [email protected] , [email protected] and search for mygroup.co.za as the rule?

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the reply, not sure if that's going to work though.

He deals with a lot of clients with a wide range of different domain names etc.

Or am I missing your point here?

I wonder if it wouldn't be better to direct everything back to his inbox, and only setup rules for internal groups and personal mails to go to different folders.

Just for interest sake I posted this on the Microsoft Forum, maybe someone their can also come up with an idea:
