Domnio R6 and R5 to prevent spam with DNSBL

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

Hello all,we are about to set up a single Domino 6 Server for SMTP and keep all other Domino R5 Servers as they are without upgrade. This does work fine in our test environmen, but I have 2 questions:

  1. I just want to tag all spams without rejection. I then want to have a filter which sorts all mails with item ‘$DNSBLSite’ to a folder ‘Spam’. But it seems that I could not create such a filter in R5 because I could only select from several fields in the filter. Do i need to write an agent or has anyone another idea?

  2. Is there a chance to get closer information about the Blacklists before implementing them? For example the query speed and failure rate or something like that. Do i need to install and try??

Thanks

Kai

P.S. Sorry for posting this in both forums but it’s both R5 and R6

Haven’t tried this, but I expect an agent place in each user’s mail nsf, that runs before new mail arrives should be able to act on the field $DNSBLSite and move the mail to a spam folder.

If all your users run the same type of mail, you could put this in the template and let the design refresh take care of propagating it.

  1. Create an agent that runs Before New Mail Arrives that moves anything with a $DNSBLSite field to the Spam folder.

  2. I use the list from Spamhaus.org and the average rate of response is under 2 seconds. I have only been using this for two weeks, but I have not seen a query time out yet.

We have an agent that processes the spam based on the blacklist tag that is part of our mail template. Also, we altered the preferences form so the user can choose to 1) ignore spam 2) move it to folder or 3) delete it.

check out my blog site (March 28 & 29) for more details:

Hi all,

thanks for your responses. i can’t believe that R6 could tag spam mails but you have no possibility to process this tag… :frowning: Everyone has to write his own agent and modify the mailfile template?? Ts ts ts…

So wi will now create this agent. Chris, thanks for your template, good ideas implemented e.g. White-Lists! Now i just need to transform this to R5 and I’m done!

Thanks again!
