Create a Powershell script that creates and enables email inbox rules that automatically route incoming emails to the trash if the subjects contain certain keywords

Output

To create a PowerShell script that sets up inbox rules to automatically move emails to the trash based on specific keywords in the subject, you can use the Exchange Online PowerShell module or the Outlook Object Model depending on whether you're managing this for Exchange Online or a locally installed Outlook client. Here’s a script using the `New-InboxRule` cmdlet available in the Exchange Online Management module. Be sure to replace `YourUser@domain.com` with the actual email address, and specify the keywords you want to use for filtering. ### Prerequisites: - Ensure you have the Exchange Online Management module installed. If not, install it using `Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement`. - Authenticate to Exchange Online before running the script. ### Script:

# Import the Exchange Online Management Module
Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement

# Connect to Exchange Online (You'll be prompted for credentials)
Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName YourAdmin@domain.com -ShowProgress $true

# Define the email address to set the rule for
$emailAddress = "YourUser@domain.com"

# Define keywords for the rules
$keywords = @("Keyword1", "Keyword2", "Keyword3") # Add the keywords you want to search for

foreach ($keyword in $keywords) {
    # Create a new inbox rule
    New-InboxRule -Mailbox $emailAddress -Name "Move '$keyword' to Trash" `
        -SubjectContainsWords $keyword `
        -DeleteMessage $true
}

# Disconnect from Exchange Online
Disconnect-ExchangeOnline -Confirm:$false
### Notes: - This script logs into Exchange Online and creates a separate rule for each keyword provided. - The `-DeleteMessage $true` parameter moves the message to the Deleted Items (trash). - Ensure you have the necessary permissions to create inbox rules for the specified mailbox. - Customize the `$emailAddress` and the `$keywords` array according to your needs. #### Using the Outlook Object Model (for a local Outlook client) If you want to automate this through the Outlook application installed locally on a computer, PowerShell can interact with the Outlook Object Model, but it requires Outlook to be installed and configured on the running system. The script would involve accessing the Outlook COM object to create rules, which is more complex and generally less secure due to the execution context. For organization-wide rules, the Exchange Online method is preferable.

# Connect to Exchange Online

Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName your-email@domain.com -ShowProgress $true

# Define the keywords that should trigger the rule
$keywords = @("Spam", "Junk", "Unwanted")

# Target user for whom you want to create the rule
$userEmail = "target-user@domain.com"

# Create a rule for each keyword
foreach ($keyword in $keywords) {
    $ruleName = "Move to Trash - Contains $keyword"

    # Check if a rule with the same name already exists, if so, delete it
    $existingRule = Get-InboxRule -Mailbox $userEmail | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $ruleName }
    if ($existingRule) {
        Remove-InboxRule -Identity $existingRule.Identity -Mailbox $userEmail -Confirm:$false
    }

    # Create a new inbox rule to move emails with the specified keyword in the subject to trash
    New-InboxRule -Mailbox $userEmail -Name $ruleName -SubjectContainsWords $keyword `
        -MoveToFolder "Inbox\Trash"
}

# Disconnect from Exchange Online
Disconnect-ExchangeOnline -Confirm:$false
### Explanations: - **Installation of the Module**: Ensure that the `ExchangeOnlineManagement` module is installed to enable the connection to Exchange Online. - **Connection**: Connects to Exchange Online using `Connect-ExchangeOnline`. Replace `your-email@domain.com` with your admin email. - **Keywords**: A list of keywords that the script will use to filter subjects. - **User Email**: Specify the mailbox to which you want to apply these rules. - **Rule Creation**: It checks for existing rules with the same name and removes them to ensure no duplicates. It then creates a new rule that moves emails containing each keyword to a folder named "Trash" under the Inbox. Adjust the folder path as needed. Make sure the "Trash" folder exists or replace it with the correct path (e.g., "Deleted Items" for many typical email setups). - **Disconnection**: Finally, the script disconnects from the Exchange Online session. ### Warnings and Considerations: - **Permissions**: Ensure you have the appropriate permissions to create inbox rules for the mailbox in question. - **Testing**: Before rolling out scripts to your entire organization, test them on a single mailbox to ensure they work as expected. - **Security**: Handle credentials securely when connecting to Exchange Online. Avoid hardcoding sensitive information in scripts. This script is a basic example and might need adjustments based on your specific environment and requirements.

Create a Powershell script that creates and enables email inbox rules that automatically route incoming emails to the trash if the subjects contain certain keywords

Output

To create a PowerShell script that manages email inbox rules in an Exchange environment (on-premises or Office 365), you can use the `New-InboxRule` cmdlet. This cmdlet allows you to create rules that process emails based on specific criteria. Below is an example script that will create a rule to move emails with certain keywords in the subject line to the "Deleted Items" folder. Before using the script, ensure you have the necessary permissions, and your environment is configured to run these commands, especially in Office 365 where you might need to use Exchange Online PowerShell.

# Define the email address for which you want to create the rule
$emailAddress = "user@domain.com"

# Define keywords that will trigger emails to be moved to Deleted Items
$keywords = @("SpamKeyword1", "SpamKeyword2", "SpamKeyword3")

# Import Exchange Online PowerShell Module if not already imported
# If working locally with on-premises Exchanger Server, this might not be necessary
Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement

# Connect to Exchange Online - Prompt for credentials or use a predefined credential object
# Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName $emailAddress -ShowProgress $true

# Create inbox rule for each keyword
ForEach ($keyword in $keywords) {
    $ruleName = "Move to Deleted Items - $keyword"
    
    New-InboxRule -Mailbox $emailAddress -Name $ruleName `
        -SubjectContainsWords $keyword `
        -MoveToFolder "Deleted Items"

    Write-Host "Rule created for subjects containing '$keyword'."
}

# Disconnect if using Exchange Online
# Disconnect-ExchangeOnline -Confirm:$false
### Key Points: - **Permissions**: Ensure you have the permissions required to create inbox rules for the specified mailbox. - **Exchange Online**: If working in an Office 365 environment, you may need to connect using the `Connect-ExchangeOnline` cmdlet. - **Local Exchange**: If you are running this on an on-premises Exchange server, ensure the Exchange Management Shell is available and use `New-InboxRule` directly without the need of `ExchangeOnlineManagement` module. - **Credentials**: For a production environment, consider handling credentials securely, possibly by using a stored credential object or certificate permissions. ### Note: - Modify the keyword list and email account as needed to fit your specific use cases. - Be cautious when handling email rules, as incorrect configurations might lead to misplaced emails. Always test in a safe environment first. This assumes you are working in a compatible Exchange environment where `New-InboxRule` is available and operational.

Create a Powershell script that creates and enables email inbox rules that automatically route incoming emails to the trash if the subjects contain certain keywords

Output

To create a PowerShell script that creates and enables email inbox rules to automatically route incoming emails to the trash if the subjects contain certain keywords, you can leverage the Exchange Online PowerShell module and Microsoft Graph API (for Office 365). Here’s a simplified version of how you might accomplish this. First, ensure you have the required modules and permissions: 1. **Setup your environment:** - Install the Exchange Online Management module if it’s not already installed: 

1
2
     Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
2. **Connect to Exchange Online:** - Use the `Connect-ExchangeOnline` cmdlet to connect to your Exchange Online account. You will need the appropriate credentials. 
1
2
   Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName yourEmail@example.com
3. **Create the inbox rule:** - Use the `New-InboxRule` cmdlet to create a rule that checks the subject of incoming emails and moves them to the 'Deleted Items' folder if they match certain keywords. Here is an example script for creating such a rule:

# Connect to Exchange Online
Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName yourEmail@example.com

# Define keywords to look for in the subject
$keywords = @("SpamKeyword1", "SpamKeyword2", "SpamKeyword3")

# Build a script block for conditions
$conditions = $keywords -join "' -or Subject -like '"

# Create a new inbox rule
New-InboxRule -Name "MoveSpamToTrash" -Mailbox "yourEmail@example.com" `
    -SubjectContainsWords $keywords `
    -MoveToFolder "Inbox:\Deleted Items" `
    -Priority 0

# Disconnect from Exchange Online
Disconnect-ExchangeOnline -Confirm:$false
### Important Notes: - **Permissions**: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to create inbox rules. - **Admin Rights**: Exchange admin rights may be required to create rules for mailboxes other than your own. - **Testing**: Always test such scripts in a non-production environment if possible to avoid accidental email loss. - **Handling Multiple Users**: If you need to set this rule for multiple users, you’d loop through a list of email addresses. ### Adjust with Graph API (Optional): For enterprise environments, using the Microsoft Graph API might be preferred for more complex rule settings and managing large numbers of users. You will need to register an application in Azure AD and use OAuth 2.0 for authentication to use Graph API. Consult official Microsoft documentation for customized implementations and recent changes in commands and APIs.
