RE: [IMail Forum] Whitelisting Blacklists

[Samuel J Stanaitis]

I hit the same problem with IMail Anti-Spam.  Trusted IP’s don’t stop mail from being blacklisted, only content filtered…same as the whitelist.  My present setup that seems to nail 99% of SPAM is a combination of Declude JunkMail and iMail Antispam, along with an inbound mail rule that checks for certain X-Headers and forces the email to a catchall.  I use the weighting system to remove most of the SPAM and the Phrase/URL blacklist of iMail to clean up the rest.  Only downside I have found with the iMail Anti-Spam besides the limited scope of the whitelist and trusted ip’s is that when a phrase is removed from the phrase list or a url is removed from the url blacklist, it still gets filtered even after restarting all the services, also for some reason when email gets forwarded from domain to domain, it manages to get filtered, but not forwarded to the catchall.  It still ends up in the  end-user’s mailbox.

They will put message in header as well. IPSwitch is well aware of the problem, but just wants more and more samples until you decide its not worth your time.         -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Eric Shanbrom (Ipswitch) Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2003 8:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Whitelisting Blacklists Whitelisting in IMail's Anti-Spam just bypasses the content filtering not  the connection filtering which the blacklisting is part of. TO bypass all of these you need to use the trusted IP section   Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeffery Rehm To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2003 7:46 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Whitelisting Blacklists   I'm having the exact same problem.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Curt Turner To: Imail List Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 21:46 Subject: [IMail Forum] Whitelisting Blacklists   I'm using external DNS blacklists to filter out spam, but I don't want the messages deleted, just redirected to a bulkbox. I have it set up to  just add an x-header, then added a rule to move messages with headers containing "X-IMAIL-SPAM" to root-bulk.   The problem is that this procedure bypasses the whitelist completely - even if the sender is whitelisted, the mail still has the spam x-header and is dumped in bulk. Is there a way to have the whitelist add its own x-header for use in processing rules?   If not, is there any way to have the whitelist override DNSBLs and at the same time not completely delete spammed messages?
