Abstract
A system and method automatically creates message forwarding rules. The method can include receiving a message having at least one recipient and, for each of the at least one recipient, determining whether a rule exists including the recipient; if a blocking rule exists for the recipient, deleting the blocking rule and creating an active forwarding rule for the recipient; and, if no rule exists for the recipient, creating an active forwarding rule for the recipient.
