cpanel_exim_system_filter_custom rules blocking facebook

[StoneyCreeker]

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:

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 <[email protected]>)

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:

I found that instead of using

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

that

deliver "Global Spam <[email protected]>"

worked much better
