thanks for your reply. regarding whether the filters plugin is scanning the message from the fetchmail plugin at all - even if it is not, then the fetchmail gets the messages into the inbox - once they are there (on the next inbox refresh i suppose, after the fetchmail is done), isn't that when the filters plugin should work, at the latest, as it scans messages in the inbox, no matter where they came from? or at the latest at the next login? > Hi, > > Would be grateful for any hints! > > I have squirrelmail 1.4.10a and cannot get the inbuilt spam filter to work. > > the scenario is the following: i get email directly to my email address, > as well as downloading from another account, via POP (fetchmail plugin). > > the spam from my normal email address is spam-assassin tagged, and I have > no problems with setting a normal subject line filter (ie the 'message > filters') to put it into the junkmail folder. > > for the POP account though, i have to use the 'SPAM filters', as the spam > that i get into my inbox through POP is not subject line tagged (and > unfortunately I cannot get it server-side tagged - it's not under my > control). To be clear, you mean you are using the spam filtering component of the "Filters" plugin. > here an example spam email header and my spamfilters_yourhop setting: I don't use the Filters plugin, so I won't be much help, but the first thing you should do is make sure that the Filters plugin is even scanning the incoming POP messages from the fetchmail plugin at all. You may have to dig around in the code if you can't find an easy way to verify such, and then you still might be back at the same list of questions you have already. > example spam email header: > > Return-Path: <extroverts82@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Received: from 201-92-251-198.dsl.telesp.net.br > (201-92-251-198.dsl.telesp.net.br [201.92.251.198]) > by POP.SERVER.I.DOWNLOAD.FROM (8.12.11.20060829/8.11.3) with ESMTP id > m6OJdrQE002717 > for <POP.SERVER.EMAIL.ADDRESS>; Fri, 25 Jul 2008 04:39:55 +0900 > Received: from [201.92.251.198] by smtp.secureserver.net; Thu, 24 Jul 2008 > 16:39:55 -0300 > Message-ID: <01c8edab$e6f3ff80$c6fb5cc9@extroverts82> > From: "Jacqueline Travis" <extroverts82@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <POP.SERVER.EMAIL.ADDRESS> > Subject: Your order of a Degree > Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:39:55 -0300 > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Content-Type: multipart/alternative; > boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0007_01C8EDAB.E6F3FF80" > X-Priority: 3 > X-MSMail-Priority: Normal > X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180 > X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 > X-UIDL: mDj!!K12"!ZiO!!f0!"! > > my spamfilters_yourhop setting: > $SpamFilters_YourHop = 'POP.SERVER.I.DOWNLOAD.FROM'; > > i have set the SpamFilters_YourHop to the POP server name as you can see, > but the junkmail stays in my inbox. also, the mail server name is written > in the same case (as i know the setting is case sensitive). is the problem > due to the fact that the mail is from (another) POP server? i have found > the message below, which makes me thing that because the header is so > short (i.e. there is no other mail server name after > POP.SERVER.I.DOWNLOAD.FROM), it won't work?: > http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user/22127/match=spamfilters_yourhop > > my DNS cache however is there and has three lines in it, it's 'modified > date' is today's, so something is working, but i can't see any effect. > > Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ----- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
