Have working image spam rule, but need to stop the beeping!

Question

http://www.tuaw.com/2006/08/04/a-mail-app-rule-for-catching-image-spam/
This tip from TUAW to reliably sends all the image spam I've been receiving lately to my Junk box. However Mail.app still does the "New mail sound" when one of these spam emails arrives and is moved to my Junk box. Any ideas on how to disable this sound on the spam emails only?

Answer 1

You can't really change the target class of a monitor in a sealed vendor pack. If this is your own custom pack, then you can change the target class no problem, but this would need to be done on the unsealed XML (using VSAE or some other authoring tool).
Then you can seal the pack and re-import (should be upgrade compatible, since you are just changing the target).
I'm not familiar with this particular monitor in your screenshot, but it looks like this should probably target Exchange? If this is the case, then I would recommend targeting the closest typed class that the monitor should run against. In this case, some
type of Exchange class that is already in the Exchange management pack.
Otherwise, you can also create your own custom class for targeting, which I describe in detail on my blog.
Here are all my sample VSAE fragments.
Here is an example of
using the Application Component base for your new class.
Here is an example of
using Local Application base for your new class.
