IMF XML Custumweights

Despite my good work from the previous entry the IMF filter failed me. Not through any fault of its own mind you.

The IMF filter runs from Microsoft Update and as I stated in my previous post it creates a new folder for each update deleting any folders except the latest 3 so you can roll back in time. It also reregisters the DLL from the latest update so its all nice and tidy....however.....

What it doesn't do is copy over the customweight XML file. What this means is despite your best efforts to stop certain emails using the XML it won't work when the new update comes in and you have to manually copy the XML file into the newly created directory.

I came in today and found that Saturday saw a nice IMF update come in and lo and behold my users now have an inbox full of 'US NMA' mails!

Copied over the file, restarted the SMTP service and now its blocking them again....anyone how this could be scripted?
