    Hi,

    1) I'm trying to install some mail content filters, and found some quite complex examples which I cannot say for sure are 100% OK. Can anyone confirm?

    https://www.lexo.ch/blog/2017/04/so...iltering-viagra-spam-junk-e-mails-with-regex/
    Code:
    /^From:.*\b([v|4]{1,2}(.){0,1}[li1j\!\|]{1,2}(.){0,1}[a4@]{1,2}(.){0,1}[g]{1,2}(.){0,1}[r]{1,2}(.){0,1}[a4@]{1,2})\b.*/
    
    Code:
    /^Subject:.*(?=.*\b([v|4]{1,2}(.){0,1}[li1j\!\|]{1,2}(.){0,1}[a4@]{1,2}(.){0,1}[g]{1,2}(.){0,1}[r]{1,2}(.){0,1}[a4@]{1,2})\b)(?=.*(urgent|immediate|fast|cheap|sofort|g(.){0,2}nstig(e|es)?|preis|generica)).*/
    
    https://blog.taurus2.co.uk/2012/11/headerchecks-bodychecks-and-regexp.html
    This seem to be OK.
    Code:
    /[rR]eplica(s)? [wW]atch(es)?|[lL]eather|[sS]hoes|[bB]oots|[fF]ootwear[\.\? ]?/
    
    2) What is correct way to implement forged domain mail filter?

    Thanks in advance.

    In the email module, under Content Filter, you can add a content filter to filter the body of email messages. For regexp pattern, enter your regex. Choose discard or reject as action.

    This is described in the ISPConfig manual, 4.7.6.3.

    I know where to enter them. The question was if 2 first regexps are correct.
    I can't make mistakes on production server.

    You can test a regex to see if it matches the mails you want to catch with tools like https://regex101.com/ or https://regexr.com/ which is mentioned in the article you're referring to aswell.

    But I don't think it's a good idea to discard all mails including things like "urgent" in the subject.

    Are you using amavis for spamfiltering right now? In my experience, rspamd does a way better job at spamfiltering. I switched a few months ago and I am very satisfied. Maybe this would be a better solution for you?

    I'm still using Amavis. OK, many thanks for your tip, I'll switch to rspamd and vice versa.
