Email filters

[Namesniper]

Hello,

Is there is a simple way to filter emails based on their subject?
Current DA Exim filter doesnt has that feature and Squirrelmail applys its filters only on log in so if you want to filter teh messages you shoud log into Squirrelmail.

You cant do that with spamassassin?

If Namesniper is referring to the Exim SPAM Filters from the user login, then that checks against both body and headers (at least it's supposed to); see my previous post here.

Namesniper, please don't double post. Thanks.

Jeff

Jeff,

If I am not missed that topic is on Feature suggestion forum and this one is in Email help forum.
Did I missed something or you just didnt had to blame me for double posting since thats not true?

There I have suggested the feature and here i am asking for third party filters to accomplish it.

Now, does Dovecot or Spamblocker have such a feature built in?
Please advice.

Yes, if you ask on the same topic in two locations, that's double posting.

I already responded that Exim SPAM filters available from the user login allow you to block based on contents in both the subject and the body.

Because there are two threads it wasn't until I had answered this one that I discovered you'd answered in the other that my answer wasn't what you needed. If you'd posted only in one place that would have been avoided.

Dovecot offers nothing in the way of filters; it's simply a POP/IMAP daemon. SpamBlocker doesn't care about content at all; it blocks entirely on reputation.

Perhaps DirectAdmin staff will be interested in making changes to the SPAM filters so that you could choose body or subject or both.

It wouldn't be wise to depend on a third party solution to the SPAM filters, as it would mean you'd be using a version of exim.pl that wouldn't change when DirectAdmin changed theirs to match features added to DirectAdmin; in that case your exim daemon would simply stop working.

You could of course create your own ruleset in SpamAssassin, which is how you'd do it there.

I'm closing this thread and leaving the other as more appropriate.
