Mail Filter Problems

Hi, I followed the perfect server guide for ISP Config 3 and CentOS 5.4. Everything seems to be working great except the mail filtering rules in ISPConfig. I checked on each of the mail boxes the "Move Spam Emails to Junk directory" but it is not working. So I figured I would create a rule with the Subject of ***SPAM*** and move to junk and it is still not working. Any pointers on where to start troubleshooting this? Thanks!!

 

yes. The spam software is working fine. Its just the mail filtering rules are not working right. Thanks

 

3.0.2.1. Thanks!

 

Till, Attached are three screenshots.
#1 is a screenshot of the mailfilter setup for the email box in question. At first I tried just checking the "Move Spam Emails to Junk" and that did not work so I added the SPAM rule myself.

#2 is the actually SPAM rule I added myself

#3 is the spam filter policy (the policy named Normal) I have assigned to both the domain and email box for this user. The policy seems to be working fine as it is tagging all the email correctly as ***SPAM*** but it just seems the filtering rules are not applying.

Thanks for your help!!!!

 

Hi Till,

maybe the problem results by the spam/mail filter/rules setup which is not intuitive (in my opinion).

There are two 'tag levels'.

I thought on first entering that page (and some time after...) that 'level 2' is just chance to get a different markup of already spam-marked mails. Some testing brought to me:

- Spam tag level is for setting X-Spam-Level and switching the subject ("tagged_above" in X-Spam-Status)
- Spam tag level 2 is for setting the X-Spam-Flag to YES ("required" in X-Spam-Status)

But there seems to be a problem(?) left when level 2 is left at '0' and level 1 is somewhat higher - in that case reaching the level 1 will set level 1 AND level 2 active, otherwise none of them get ruled.

So if You just set "Level 1" to a value (and leave the other unchanged - so they result to "0") every Spam Mail will be deleted...

So I decided to set Level 2 to the same value as Level 1 and set killed to 50... but that dependes to Your own bias.

 

Till thanks for the pointers on the rules. Do you have any pointers on how I can troubleshoot the mail filters not working? Thanks

 

^^^ anyone have any ideas? I dont see ISPConfig creating any .mailfilter files. Should it be? Or is maildrop pulling those from SQL? Thanks

 

anyone have any ideas? Thanks!!

 

Hi,

where have You looked for the .mailfilters?

They are located in /var/vmail/mailfilters/<domain>/<account>

No .mailfilter files are being created even though I am putting stuff in the ISPconfig UI. Thanks

 

I just checked and it is also not creating the .autoresponder files. Is there a way enabled debugging in ISPConfig to see why it is not creating these files? Thanks

 

Ok, I just enabled debugging. I see it pickup the change but dont see any files being created.

Thanks

 

Anyone have any ideas on how I can debug this further? Thanks

 

Sorry not trying to be a pest. I really need to fix this. Anyone have any ideas on why ISPConfig is not creating the files? Thanks!
