How to run the X-ME-Spam: High filter for passthrough/smarthost domains?

Post by kiamori »

How can we force the X-ME-Spam checks server wide or post office wide?

Currently this only functions at a mailbox level when a user goes into options > Spam > Enable Mailbox Spam Filtering

How can we force this check before the server side checks so the results can be filtered from Messaging Manager > Filters ?


I'm looking for a rule like this to work:

FilterResult=0
If CriteriaMet([ME_HEADERS_CONTAIN],"X-ME-Spam: High*") Then
FilterResult=1
End If

My guess is you can just add that script as a custom criteria script in filter management. Then create the actions you want for that script.
I am using Enterprise, not sure if that exists for other versions.

I know this is really old, but I've been working on this issue lately myself. Here is a solution that is partially working for me and maybe someone can help make this more effective.

I created a new filter that searches for "X-ME-SPAM: High" in the message header. If found, the filter adds another header item, quarantines the message, then deletes it. I then Re-Ordered the filters so that the [System Spam Filter] executes just before my new filter hoping that my filter would catch the X-ME-SPAM tag the system spam filter adds.

I can find some emails in the quarantine folder with the new filter tag, letting me know process worked. However, I still find emails delivered to my inbox that contain the X-ME-SPAM: high, which means my filter missed them. I'm still trying to find a more bullet proof way to make this work, but its an improvement.

Hoe this helps. And if anyone can improve on this solution, please do.
