Spam filtering

mtr · 20-10-2003, 08:40 AM

Any chance of getting some full on spam filtering software set up? Apparently SpamAssassin is pretty good, or maybe just the SpamHaus Block List...?

We do have a system which is integrated into the mailserver, it will be deployed accross all domains in the coming weeks.

We also block over 2k pieces of spam each day at the moment.

Cool, thanks.

Any news on the spam filter paul?
My client would like one very much, and would even be willing to pay extra for it (she is getting sometimes over 100 a day and as they dont have broadband yet it takes forever to download them)
thanks

We do generally block spam, but people can setup their own lists in webmail which will be applied to their email account.

I know this is an old thread, but....

Is the spam filter in place? You mentioned we can setup our own spam lists in webmail. I can't see where?

Thanks,
Peter

It's under Settings and the Black & White list, you can configure it to block, reject or mark as spam based upon all sorts of scenarios such as email address, subject etc etc.

I thought you might say that!

This isn't working in any of the mailboxes I have have access to. I thought it was an un-supported feature (like the processing rules). I click "enable", create a rule and press "add". The page refreshes but the list is still empty. Any ideas or should I raise a ticket?

Thanks,
Peter

Looks like time to raise a ticket as i've just been playing with it and it sure doesn't work!!

Yea, seems to be one of these features that icewarp fix then break every release :/

Looks like you may have to introduce your client to the joys of spam filtering within outlook or outlook express; both of which can be configured to do the same as the webmail features and better in some cases!! Certainly easier to configure anyway!

Just as a side note, the black and white lists should be working again. Also see the thread on the new spam filter
