  messages will not move to the specified folder when creating a  Outlook 2010 rule based on a dynamic goups when messgaes arrive.

  Hi SGryzbowski,

  Could you please post the Outlook rule here?

  Please correct me if I did something wrong of my test:

  Outlook 2010->Rules wizard->Apply this rule after the message arrives

  From DDGname

  Move it to the specified folder

  The result:

  If a member of DDG(From:Sender) send a mail to the recipient, the mail won't be moved to the folder.

  If a member of DDG send as DDG(From:DDGname), the mail will be moved to the folder.

  Please note: I test it in Exchange 2010 SP2 ru3. If necessary, I will do it in Exchange 2010 SP1 as well.

  Hi Frank,

  That's exactly what I did.

  Outlook 2010->Rules wizard->Apply this rule after the message arrives

  From DDGname

  Move it to the specified folder

  The result:

  If a member of DDG(From:Sender) send a mail to the recipient, the mail won't be moved to the folder.

  ----------------------------------

  But, if the group is universal DG, the rule works.

  I guess it's something to do with DDGs?

  Thank you.

  Hi,
  If you want to move messages sent to a Dynamic Group, you need to create a rule like this:
  
  Apply this rule after messages arrives
  sent to "Dynamic Group"
  move it to the SomeName folder

  
  

  A Dynamic Groups doesn't have any members (remember that it's based on a filter) so using "If a member of" will not work

  Hi SGryzbowski,

  I test it in my lab, and same result as yours.

  I think this is by design, the membership list for DDG is calculated each time a message is sent to the group, not on the Outlook side.
