Installing
----------
Install the addin using the setup program. After the setup you must restart your
client/server for the addin to become active.
If you are using the notes client as an email program and storing the mail
database locally, you have to install the program on your client. However if
your database is stored on a notes server you have to install the program on
the server itself.
Running rules on old mail
----------------------------
If you want to run the mail rules on mail that is already in your mail
database, create a folder called "RunRules".
Then drag and drop the mail into this folder. This action will trigger
the code to run the rules on the mail and sort it into folders according to
the rules. Any mail that doesn't fit any rule will be left in the "RunRules" folder.
If you want to name the folder something more descriptive you can use the "|" character to
split between the name and the alias when you name the folder, like this:
"Run Rules on mail | RunRules"
Note:
You should never call any of your folders "Rules" since that name is already
taken by the Rules folder in the mail template.
Extra rule support
-------------------
The rules.dll has an extra support for specifiying any field to check
for in a rule by overloading the BCC rule.
Example:
To check the "X_Mailer" field for Outlook, use the this rule:
When BCC contains X_Mailer:Outlook
The ":" character is used for separating the field name and the value to look for.
If you want to disable this default behaviour you can add:
$RULES_ANYFIELD=0
to your notes.ini
However disabling this isn't really necessary most of the time since the code will
use the default behaviour of the BCC rule if you don't use the ":" character in the address field.
Troubleshooting
---------------
If you run into any problems then please enable logging output from the rules.dll
and mail me the results. To enable logging add this into your notes.ini
$RULES_LOG=1
This will log default into a text file "c:\rules_log.txt" on your hard drive.
To change the location and/or filename of the log file you can use:
$RULES_FILENAME=<filename>
in notes.ini |
