mail filter in iMS 5.2?

In older versions of iMS you used to be able to configure UBE filters via a gui. Now how is it done? All we want to do is a simple server filter to scan Subject: line of messages and if a specific tag is found, dump that mail.

You're thinking of NMS. Previous versions of iMS have never had this capability. For what you want to do check out SSR (Server Side Rules). There is a MTA wide filter, imta/config/imta.filter as I recall. The SSR is based on Draft 9 of SIEVE. Body scanning is not allowed using SSR, fyi.

As as I Know iMS5.2 support RFC3028, this rfc has no support to handle the body and header of a multipart message. Does anybody has an idea in how to this in iMS5.2 with sieve?I will appreciate your help. Thanks

Sure, mta wide you can use imta.filter in the msg-<server>/imta/config directory. Create that file and in it use the sieve filter with subject line you need to block.

i.e.

require "fileinto";

if header :contains ["Subject","Comments","Keywords"]

"this is a test"

{

discard;

stop;

}

Then go to msg-<server> directory and use imsimta utility to rebuild the config and restart

imsimta cnbuild

imsimta refresh

Thats it!

I have a related problem. I guess this is mostly a sieve filter syntax question...

I need to single out messages for a specific user but I am catching other unintended users in the process. Example:

imta.filter:

require "reject";

if header : contains "To" "domain.com" {

if header :contains "From" "info@domain.com" {

discard;

}

Based on my filter above I am catching info@domain.com but I am also catching testinfo@domain.com, helpinfo@domain.com, etc.

If I insert a space before the info (" info@domain.com"), then the filter doesn't catch emails from info@domain.com. I am using Sun Messaging Server 5.2

Any ideas?

Thanks!

How about not using "contains". I suspect that there's a "equals" comparator? I admit, I don't know sieve.

Thanks for the suggestion...I was able to get "is: " to work. A coworker also suggested that "mataches:" would work as well. It sure would be nice to have the full list of keywords!!!!

Well, we don't provide documentation for Sieve, but such is available online: http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=3028

Does Sun's Messaging server fully support this RFC or just it implement certain portions? Just curious...Thanks for the link!

Fully
