Server side rules in Outlook 2007

Question

Using Outlook 2007 with an Exchange Server.

I am trying to setup a server-side rule, but regardless of what I do, it always sets up a client-only rule.

I am trying to copy a message to a folder if it comes from a certain person and the subject contains certain words.

What am I missing?

Update: It seems that setting the rule to mark the message read-only forces the message to be client-side. Anyway to get around that?

You should write ALL the rules you are using if you want help. It's not good updating/adding information after people try to answer your question.

Anything that needs to be done on the client will become a client-side rule, eg are you displaying a desktop alert as part of the rule?
