    I have set up some rules in the cpanel_exim_system_filter_custom file and am having an unexpected result.

    It has been working great for over a week to globally filter the emails across my VPS. I have 31 domains in it and now I only have to set a rule up once to block common spammer "from" and "subject" terms.

    I am only using "from"and "subject" rules and do not have any rules specifying "facebook" but it is blocking them. If I remove the rules from the bottom of the cpanel_exim_system_filter_custom file, the facebook email delivers normally.

    Here is the email header I receive when I remove the rules:
    Code:
    [COLOR="#0000CD"]Return-path: <notification+kr4k54mkqbnr@facebookmail.com>

    To answer my own question, which I should have seen prior to posting, it was the rule:

    #Notification
    if
    $header_from: contains "Notification"
    then
    seen finish
    endif

    I noticed, (no pun intended), that the header from the email had this word in it here:

    (envelope-from <notification+kr4k54mkqbnr@facebookmail.com>)

    When I removed this rule the email delivered normally.

    I hope this helps someone else.

    Also the above spam filter rule list seems to work good at this time.

    If anyone has a suggestion that would make it work better please post it.

    Is there a way to add a line to send them to an email account on my server prior to the "seen endif" line?

    Thanks!!!!

    Still learning after all these years.

    Me again!

    I created an email account named "globalspam" and then modified each rule to send a copy of each email deleted by this "cpanel_exim_system_filter_custom" file rule to it then deleted it before it reached the intended recipient so I can monitor what each rule is really doing. :)

    I modified each rule as so:

    #Rule Name
    if
    $header_from: contains "Rule Value"
    then
    deliver "$home/mail/myserverdomain.com/globalspam/" 660
    seen finish
    endif


    It seems to be working now. And I know what is being blocked by it. I expect it will fill up quickly.

    Cheers!

    EDIT:

    Code:
    I found that instead of using

deliver "$home/mail/myserverdomain.com/globalspam/" 660"

that

deliver "Global Spam <globalspam@mydomain.com>"

worked much better
