I have created server rules for blocking emails with body’s containing for example “viagra”.Some emails are coming in html format with viagra written “viagra” so it bypasses the filter.
How can I eliminate these emails?
I use also the new blacklist functionality in version 6 but we are still getting spam.
Subject: Server rules for avoiding spam
I think more and more admins use other mail filtering tools, before it reaches the Domino server.
Here’s something to look at: Apache SpamAssassin: Welcome

For example, instead of inbound Internet mail being delivered directly to your Domino server, have it routed instead to a server running Spamassassin, or something similar. It’s rules are much easier to configure and “points” are assigned to emails based on keywords, phrases, etc. If the email scores high enough, it’s considered spam. It can then append the word “SPAM” to the email’s subject, before passing it on to the Domino SMTP server. That’s what we’re doing. Each user’s mailbox has a Rule, “if the subject contains SPAM move it to the Junk Mail folder”.
I hope that Domino’s server-based Rules use a similar approach someday. “Points based”.

please add this url to the list: all the same functions but no need for a second box… it’s all done natively using Domino itself… albeit somewhat enhanced
