I have added the ., to the forward file and now a copy of the message gets moved to the spambox. But the message still goes downstream to the forwarded to Users and does not get picked up as spam.
That is the way that it should work. E-mail that is forwarded from one user to another automatically in IMail (as opposed to aliases or forwarding from a mail client) bypasses any scanning.
I think I follow the logic, of why this is not working: the message comes in from the outside, a copy is made to be processed by the forwarding Engine, the external (original message) gets tested, and since I don't have a copy being saved to the original recipient it doesn't do anything (since I enabled '.', it does get processed by declude and gets moved to the spambox--Correctly), the FWD Message does not get tested since it is now internal to the server, and goes to the downstream users, never getting tested, no action is taken and spam gets through. Is this the correct logic, or am I missing something?
Very close. The forwarding is actually handled by IMail after the E-mail is processed by Declude, so there is no evidence of forwarding when Declude sees the E-mail.
Is there a way around this, such as once the message is moved then it is no longer forwarded, or that an internal message (the FWD message that gets processed by the SMTP-FWD) gets scanned by the Junkmail?
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any way around this.
