[MlMt] Still confused about rules

[Antonio Leding]

I tested this and it works fine.  I think you may be running into the 
“when the Rules are applied” part of this…

Remember, the rule is only applied when the message is delivered into 
the SMOX, not when you create the SMBOX.  In my scenario, I setup 
everything as you did but disabled the delete rule and then sent a few 
test messages.  All were delivered as expected into the SMBOX that had 
the delete rule.  I then enabled the delete rule and while leaving the 
previous messages in place.  I then sent more test messages all of which 
were immediately deleted however the messages that were sent before I 
enabled the rule remained…
