Old style 5.5 mailbox folder server side scripting

We are an Exchange 5.5 shop going to Windows/Exchange 2003, skipping Windows/Exchange 2000. From research, it looks like the Events Root server side scripting that can be done on 5.5 for any folder in a mailbox or public folder could also be done on 2000. Doesn't look like that in 2003 so I am looking for a little help
What we have is a mailbox with a script on its inbox. This script watches for incoming messages, checks them to see if they have two attachments with specific filename extensions on them. If so, it saves these attachments to a folder on another server, sets the message as having been read, and exits and waits for the next message. If no attachments, wrong number of attachments, or the wrong extension names, message is just skipped
On one more mailbox, it has a script that deletes messages in the Sent Items folder because the application that uses this mailbox puts them there and doesn't clean up afterwards
Any help/clues/hints/scripts?
 
The direct replacement would be an Exchange event sink. Docs start at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/exchange/, discussions in the
microsoft.public.exchange.applications group.

There's no little new in Outlook 2003 for programmers that it doesn't
warrant a book rewrite. My current book covers it just fine.

Thanks. I visit your site and have a couple of your books, too. Are you

releasing anything related to the newest Exchange and Outlook?
 
And, if that is the one that shows in your signature here, I have that one but haven't had much time to go through it yet. Just to push me there faster, does it include event sink stuff like what I am trying to do?
 
Point Outlook Express or other newsreader at the msnews.microsoft.com server
to get all Microsoft newsgroups in a way that's more efficient than the web
interface.
 
No, it's an Outlook programming book, not an Exchange programming book.
