Hi,
A customer had some trouble using the E-mail filtering option, so I tested on my own little domain, and found a few troubling things.
I have an account, [email protected] that I use for... you guessed it - testing. I added a single block-word for this domain under E-Mail Filtering, and the word is "pleaseblockthis". I also selected that spam should be sent to spambox rather than be dropped.
The folder ~/.spamassassin showed up.
I then sent a mail to this account with no block-word in it, and it showed up as expected in my inbox.
Then I sent another email, with the word pleaseblockthis in the body. Here's what my exim-log says:
So apparantly the filter works, the mail is blocked, and delivered to a spam-folder.
However, this spam-folder does not exist. The mail is gone.
The folder ~/.spamassassin contains nothing.
The folder ~/imap/42.no/krtest/Maildir/ contains only the cur/, new/ and tmp/-folders, no spam-folder. The "spam"-mail is in none of those folders, only the first mail I sent, with no block-word in it.
What am I missing here? Shouldn't this spam-folder be created automatically if it doesn't exist, instead of simply saving the mail into nothingness?
It's not a single domain-problem, as it happened to my customer, and to my own domain when I tried it.
Please help!
