## Mail Filters and Processors

E-mail filters and processors automatically screen out spam or automate tasks, such as maintaining a listserver. Mh and Procmail are common UNIX examples.

Microsoft® Outlook™, a Microsoft Exchange Server client, has rules that search for certain message attributes, such as the message sender, priority and message size, and whether to perform an action such as deleting the message, saving it to a folder, or generating a reply.

Microsoft Exchange Server supports server-side scripting with JavaScript or VBScript. Administrators write scripts to filter messages and automatically perform actions.
