Delete or recall spam from all Notes user mailboxes

Is it possible to select a spam message in a user’s IBM Notes mailbox which can be deleted or recalled from all user mailboxes?

The spam filters in my customer’s Domino environment does not detect every spam message at 100% accuracy, so obviously the users are receiving phishing and malware spam. This can lead to total network infection especially if one of those users has a high level Windows admin account.

I couldn’t find a feature natively in the the Domino Administrator client, and I was unsuccessful searching the IBM developerWorks Domino forums and wikis for a solution.

My customers are using various spam solutions as seen below, but I still need a way to “search & destroy” spam from all user mailboxes. :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance.

He didn’t “I just found the tool below on IBM GSD.” he owns the company that makes the tool.

Subject: Hi Carl Tyler

  1. There are no posts on this forum which can remove spam from all Notes user mailboxes, hence, the reason for my post.

2 This should be a native feature of the Domino message system. However, it is just another reason to migrate to a new message system. I am trying to keep customers on Domino, not migrate away. Exchange requires the admin to use PowerShell, so we are ahead of the game offering an easy solution for a basic Domino admin or non-technical IT help desk user.

  1. Basic message recall was available since Exchange 98, but Domino didn’t implement until Release 8 in August 2007 which was disapointing to wait so long for such a basic feature.
