Could someone from the mail team document for us the order in which various parts of the mail processing are carried out for incoming mail? This would include: Virus blocking (Auto)Forwarding Blocked Domains Blocked Senders SPAM processing Vacation message Filters [Any others I've forgotten?] At each stage it would be important to know whether a message that is acted upon in that stage then leaves the processing stream, or if it continues on to the next stage. I tried to find this information on line but could not. Having this documented would allow us to answer user questions like "If I forward my mail, is it still checked for viruses and spam by MSU?" or "Will my vacation message go to every single message that is addressed to me?". I think some individual questions like this have been discussed here in the past, but the full processing sequence has never been documented.
