[plug] re: Email rules

[Jon L. Miller]

It is only from the outside that this rule needs to be applied.  If I send
an e-mail that originated from a remote location from me to me then I want
this to be quarantined as the only time these users are using this system
is from inside.  If they use it from outside the office then their e-mail
address in the FROM field would have a different domain on it.  The only
exception would be if they are using the webmail system and that is
located inside.
