Hrm...ok I hate to answer my own question...but I'd like to see if some of the more experienced people can tell me if what I did will break anything. I figured out that EXIM can handle filtering (I know I'm the last one to figure it out).
First off I played around a bit with the
filter file located in
/etc/virtual/dmydomain.com directory. I figured out how it would send e-mails to the SA spam folder if so directed.
I then figured out where the IMAP mail folder was for the account that I wanted to send mail to...so I added the following to the
filter file:
Code:
if
$header_subject: contains "Filtering Test"
then
save /home/myuser/imap/mydomain.com/lists/mail/IN-TESTING 660
endif
NOTE: lists is the mailbox name (
[email protected]) and IN-TESTING is the folder.
I tried sending a test and noticed permissions issues in the exim logs. So off I went to research the permissions of the SA spam box. I came up with the following workaround but wonder if there's a chance it's going to break something down the road.
I reset the owner on the IN-TESTING file to be
mail. I left the group the the default (myuser) and the permissions are default at
660.
I reset the group to
mail on each of the directories within the /imap/mydomain.com/lists/mail/ structure and gave each directory
770 permissions.
A test proves the filter now works for the IN-TESTING folder and delivery to the plain inbox still works. I can see the mailboxes within Outlook and SquirrelMail.
Think this will break anything or can I go ahead and deploy the full filtering solution? I realize the
filter file can get overwritten if I change my spam settings within DA so I'll keep a copy handy.
If this all works I'm thinking about adding a request to the DA folks for streamlining this process. It'd involve changing the owner/group/permissions as appropriate during mailbox/folder creation and integrating a custom filters section into the spam page.
Again, thanks in advance!
