Hi there,
I know that there has been much chat in the forums about doing SPAM filtering in Notes/Domino, but we have chosen to do this via SPAMAssassin on a separate Linux system. This will tag all SPAM emails using an SMTP header entry of X_MailScanner.
I then expected it to be easy to write a belofe mail arrives rule to pick up that field in the email and move it to a separate folder, or else delete it. However, rules seem to be able to only review the 4 or 5 main fields in the email.
Has anyone out there written an agent that checks for an SMTP header field in a asimilar way.
Your help will be much appreciated!
Many thanks,
Stuart

if you’re using r6 then you could create such a rule using my product … you could even do the checking and tagging on the r6 router instead of the extra linux box but that’s up to you…
specifically refer to…

this show exactly the type of rule you wanted…
as a server side rule this could journal or tag or delete or hold the mail… it could even move it to a separate database on a per user basis (so a user based quarantine)…
as an offline rule it can move the item to a folder in the users mailfile.
hope it helps…

Rules are not agents. If you write an agent you have complete freedom to do what you want. There have been many article in on this site regarding filtering mail spam. The had sample code, and I think the sandbox has some samples as well. I would start there.
