Hi PCurd,
First of all I would to thank you for sharing this powershell script. It worked nicely & I was able to create a report I need. This is really much appreceiated.

If you don’t mind I have favor to ask, I would like to have a script this time for inbound emails that i can enter multiple internal recipients (company employees) I want received from any senders wether from internal and/or external users. In short, the script is the reverse of the first script you have shared.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for commenting! I would save the contents of the script to a new file and give it a .ps1 extension (to mark it as a PowerShell script) then run from inside Powershell like:

c:\myscripts\MyScript.ps1

Make sure to run from an Exchange Management Shell as the script requires the Exchange components. To automate or otherwise run from a normal Powershell window add:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin

To the top of the script so that the Exchange component is loaded.

Hi PCurd,
How do I execute the PowerShell script you have written assuming I have entered all correct mail servers, date/time & senders’ address?

thanks.
Exchange Guy

My answer – a little shorter than the C# version, but then again Ruby’s a better language : http://fringley.wordpress.com/2010/08/27/a-little-late-on-the-fizz-buzz-problem/

It’s a fascinating problem, so many different options.

I think anyone – i.e. you and me – who codes in enough slack that when the specs change – and change they will – should certainly get bonus marks.

The trick is to allow for slack WITHOUT making hte original solution unreadable or having too much overhead for the simple case.

Comment on DRM and me – The problem with The Settlers 7 by Xaos Wolf

I agree on the DRM issues.

Being a Gamer effectively all my life, it’s pretty easy to see that company’s are shying away from the PC platform, but that isn’t solely due to Piracy.

Piracy is definitely a part of the problem, but another problem is that as consoles are getting more and more powerful in both graphics and processing ability, developers seem to be less likely to want to bring out things on the generally more finicky PC’s (so many hardware configurations).
Add to that the fact that Consoles are both mainstream and affordable, PC’s are looking to get left in the dust as a gaming platform, except for those games that use a Mouse and Keyboard, which are mainly RTS’s and FPS’s, and that could change soon given the uprise of pointing device on consoles. (at least Nintendo and Sony)
That certainly doesn’t mean Multi-Platform releases aren’t feasible, but that’s generally going to be Microsoft titles.

On the DRM front, I believe SKIDROW has cracked the UOSP for Assassin’s Creed II. Apparently for great justice.

And Project $10/Sometimes-$15 is reasonable, but that doesn’t give company’s the right to charge you for a game disc and then also charge you for some maps that are on that disc you already bought. That is bull.

It’s also wrong of developers to make a game, cut out a few of the level, and then sell them snipped levels back to you at extra cost as DLC. WRONG.

Anyway, better shut up now, before this turns into a blog post in itself.
