I am using bogofilter and it works well ... so far.
Postfix is taking care of the redirection with regards to redirecting spam mail to the virtual account.
What I need now is a way for the user to say ... wait this is not spam, redirect / forward back to my Inbox.
The web interface provides a decent method and forwards the mail like a regular mail client.
I was hoping to make the moving of e-mails in the spam account to the Exchange Inbox a little smoother ..

OK, now we are getting somewhere. On my machines, this is referred to as an email forwarder and yes SMTP handles it, however, I am not sure how you are handling your spam detection. On my servers I use "spam assassin" and it's detection is not fool proof. If people send images in their email with a signature, spam assassin will sometimes miss identify their email as spam.
I would check the documentation for your spam filter for most of the "redirection" you would like to do.

Subject: Re: PHP mail redirect ??
Hello,
There is another smtp server ... I should of provided more info ...
I set up a postfix server to do the following:
1. Receives mail from outside ...
if it is NOT spam
2. Virus scanned and then forward to exchange
if it IS SPAM
2. Sent to a virtual type mail box and virus scanned.
This way users would never get mail that is considered SPAM in there Exchange Inbox. Each morning they will get 1 e-mail containing a out line of new mail in the virtual account that is considered spam. That e-mail will be automatically deleted after 30 days.
They can login via the web interface and download mail, formail to them selves only.
I was hopping to add in a "redirect" type of feature where the e-mail would get sent to their actual Inbox on Exchange and not look like it was forwarded from the virtual account if the user clicks the a button.
Thanks for the reply.
Michael.

Not sure I've ever hear the term "redirect" used in reference to email. Understand that email cannot be received on just any machine (there needs to be a pop (or imap or smtp) deamon running on that machine.
But to answer you question, you can often send email to a specific machine if you know the machine name in the following form;
bert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - but keep in mind that there needs to be a daemon running on that machine AND there needs to be a mailbox for "bert" set up on that server.

Hello,
I have been playing around with a web mail app called NOCC (http://nocc.sourceforge.net/)
It has some nice features and is quick.
I want to add in a redirect button for mail, there is a
forward button but it forwards mail just like a regular client for ... as expected.
But I want a redirect button so I could send the exact same
message to the same user and from the same person just but to another mail box on a different machine.
Is there a easy to do this with out having to create some thing from scratch.
Thanks ..
Michael.
