Order of precedence between Forward & Filter

[Crexis]

This may be a stupid question but can't find the answer anywhere.

In what order are forward's and filters processed on a zimbra mailbox?

For example. I have a mailbox set-up for inbound virtual faxing. There is a forward set-up on it to forward all mails received to a distribution list. Nobody is directly accessing this mailbox and I want to stop it from filling up with old mail. The only way I figured out to do this would be to add a filter which discrds any messages that contain @ in the To: address. The question is then, does the forward take place before or after the filter?

TIA

The forward should happen first. A similar filter would be to discard any message with size greater than 1 byte.

Thanks Kevin. I will implement this today.
