If you act in a aggressive manner , i dont think that people will help you more than now. Remember also that people here are not from IPSWITCH support team , so sometimes you will find your question not answered.

I asked this several days ago and was told to join the Declude List and given an url that lists about 100 RBLs, obviously of little use except trial and error. While not directed at you, let me say that there is generally always something always better out there. In the last week I've been told to change all my email clients, change server methods and that essentially IMail won't handle Spam without Declude. Maybe I should have gotten the Argosoft Free Mail Server and purchased Declude instead of Imail as Imail is made out to be lame without Declude in this list. Why Ipswitch allows this, I don't know. BUT, this is the IMail List. If I wanted to find out how to do it with Declude, I would subscribe to Declude List. I, like others, am interested in finding out the best way of doing things with IMail, not Declude, or some other method, as these are the tools we have and the circumstances we are given. Enough of my soapbox. There is clearly some way to filter rules from a RBL as shown on page 254 of the Imail 8 manual with the FIVETEN Database. Yet, as someone noted earlier in another thread, the processing rules are not well documented and thus the question. If anyone does know a syntax with rules that would allow this, please reply. If not, please don't tell me or others that we have to always buy Declude to get this or that feature.

If you started doing some fine tunening about spam detection you will find out soon that you are very restricted with IMAIL options . And the response you get from Scott was not a commercial but the right way of doing what you asked. Note: You can see in my header ,i am using declude .

My recommendation would be not to use the FIVETENIGNORE test -- by definition, it will catch E-mail from large Internet providers such as Yahoo. That way, you get the best of both worlds -- you won't capture legitimate E-mail from Yahoo, and you will catch spam from @yahoo.com addresses. If you're using Declude JunkMail, you have the option (not recommended, though, as many spammers use @yahoo.com addresses) of whitelisting all E-mail to @yahoo.com (if you whitelist it, it will be delivered, no matter what). A number of our customers will set up a filter to reduce the weight of E-mail from @yahoo.com addresses, which can help make up for the FIVETENIGNORE and a few other spam tests that tend to list Yahoo. That, too, helps ensure that the legitimate mail gets through while blocking the spam. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
