Exchange Server's 32 KB Rules Limitation

Exchange server supports just 32 KB worth of rules. If each rule is small and simple, you might get about 50 - 70 rules if using Outlook 2002 and older. Outlook 2003 uses Unicode when writing the rules and this requires more space per rule, leaving most users with about 20 rules.

In Outlook 2000, you could force rules to be client rules, which are stored in Outlook, and have many more rules. This does not work in Outlook 2002 and 2003 - all rules, both client and server, are stored on the Exchange server and subject to the 32 KB size limit.
