How Do I Forward All Spam

[LiamB]

Hi,

We have a windows server with Plesk/Spam Assasin installed. I would like all emails marked as spam forwarded to a folder or ideally another mailbox, is this possible under the windows plesk?

Thanks

Hi, Which mail service are you using? This is possible if you are using MailEnable.

Hi,

Yes it is MailEnable, can you advise?

OK there are two ways depending on your degree of coding experience. If you are ok with basic coding then you can create your own mailbox delivery events which will act/action a message as it arrives at a mailbox.

Here is some help with this, the process would be to look into the header of a message and complete an action depending on what header line you are processing. (See article below me020462);

It is also possible to add your own header values within either Spamassassin or via a MailEnable MTA pickup event which are discussed in the next article;

(You will also find some more on this in the MailEnable API)

Now if you do not want to go through these steps then an upgrade to the Professional or Enterprise versions of MailEnable will ensure that you have these abilities included. These versions of MailEnable have MTA filtering where you can search on a header line eg *plesk spam header line* and then use the action Mark As Spam which will automatically move the message to the Junk E-Mail folder. This folder will be automatically created if it does not already exist. There are many other filters and spam protection services within the releases also that may help further.

Here are a couple of ME articles that explain a little bit further;
