routing blocked emails

[AlaskanWolf]

anyone know of a way to route blocked emails to a &catch& email account? rather then it going to /dev/null and never being seen again....

Nick...pallleeze add this feature, we need more control over the spam blocking system, specially if it deletes email that shouldt be blocked in the first place, allowing us to re-route it to a email acct we specify allows us to sort though the emails

so no ones interested or concerned for their customers (and you) in being able to sort though mail that otherwise is going to the ultimate blackhole....?....never being able to be retrieved

This is easy to accomplish. Remove everything from within ~/.filter and then manually edit /etc/vfilter/domain.com:

# Exim filter

if error_message then finish endif

if
$header_subject: contains &Make money& or
$header_subject: is &junk& or
$message_body contains &this is spam&
then
save /home/user/mail/domain.com/junk/inbox
endif

Be sure to create a junk POP account under whichever domain you want to filter on. You may have some permission issues with exim trying to sudo, altering exim.conf to add a user variable under central filter is probably required.

Of course you can go the lazy route:

# Exim filter

if error_message then finish endif

if
$header_subject: contains &Make money& or
$header_subject: is &junk& or
$message_body contains &this is spam&
then
deliver &email@outsidedomain.com&
endif

Be sure that the deliver address is not on the same domain you are filtering.

Hope that helps.

& blocked emails ...

Are these emails blocked by what? Spamassassin? Or the vfilter in Cpanel?

Like it wasn't already evident enough.

works great, now i just have to remember to re-edit the vfilter when i add a new filter

hi guys,

any way to do this serverwide? rather than on per domain basis?

also in serverwide, how to make it go to /dev/null?

Thanks
