Topic: Seeing whats been caught as spam

[oliverm]

Hi,

Im trying to get SME working with SA here, and i want to know if the following is possible.

eventually SME will be the primary MX for our domains, forwarding emails to our Exchange server. I would like to be able to view any spam emails caught by the server either from the SME web interface, or have them sent to a public folder in exchange by being forward to an email address (spam-public-folder@....).

Can this be done ?

I use SME as the firewall to our LAN, with it acting as a spam/virus filter for an Exchange 2000 server inside the LAN.

With SpamAssassin, using RBLs, many emails are blocked outright so you won't see those, but those that make it thru can all be saved to disk with a setting in Exchange. Then non-deliverable mail is placed in a folder. All legitimate mail, even spam, is passed on to the user, of course.

If you want to capture all mail, dont use SpamAssassin's RBLs, and let it all through. Just those infected and captured by ClamAV will remain on the SME server.

When you fill in the IP address of the 'internal mail server' in the e-mail panel, no mail is saved on the SME server, except those in quarantine...

In Exchange 2000, its Exchange System Manger>Global Settings>Message Delivery (properties)>Filtering Tab>Archive Filtered Messages.

Id recommemd selecting 'Accept messages without notifying sender...' on that same Filtering tab, unless you want a lot of queues unable to deliver messages to those fake spam addresses.

And you may have to enable the filtering on the Default SMTP virtual server.

Thanks for the response.

I dont see how that would do anything other that just archive the mail.

What im looking for is someway in SA on SME to forward blocked spam mails to a mailbox on an exchange server. Ideally, I would like everything that is blocked (for whatever reason) to be forwarded, however i appreciate that RBL blocked mail may not be possible
