filtering messgae based on subject /body

kcpant — Tue, 27 Sep 2005 02:37:14 GMT

Hi Friends,

I'm using sendmail+MailScanner in a Mail server setup. Now a days, we are getting so many junk mails which are not gettng filtered automatically by mailscanner, and I found that these mails have a metching pattern in their subject or body. please let me know how I could make a filtering rule in mailscanner to delete/ quarantine such mails by metching subject or body text.

thanks in advance

Hi,

You can use Procmail. Its easy to manage for create rules with subject & body

This should not be done on the server. spamassasin, if kept up to date will work better.

ITs a client issue.

The spammers alter the spelling of the key words you scan for to get their mail through.

Either replace spamassassin with Mailscanner at the server side. or simply add .procmailrc file for each user mbox which simply discards mails matching a particular 'pattern'.

check 'man procmail' for more information.

Hope this helps,
Gopi
