These files contain lines with email addresses and optional S/s (sender) and/or
R/r (recipient) flags. The given email addresses are checked only by SMTP protocol
(MAIL FROM and RCPT TO). The email addresses in the email header are ignored.
The lists are checked. Checking begins with the first list on
FilterTableOrder
.
When a match is found, the checking is terminated and the configured action
performed.
According to the result, the procedures are:
z if there is no match in the first list, the next list is checked.
z
if there is no match in the second list either, the email is scanned.
z
if there is a match in the ignore list, the email is not scanned.
z
if there is a match in the scan list, the email is scanned.
The email addresses must have Perl-compatible regular expressions, such as:
/abc/
/^abc/
/xyz/i
/^abc@def\.tld/
Example :
/etc/avmailgate.ignore contains the following lines:
/^somebody@somewhere\.tld$/ SR
/^virus@firm/ R
/^abc@def.*\.tld/i
If the address is somebody@somewhere.tld, the email is not scanned.
If the recipient address is virus@firm*, the email is not scanned. In this case, the R
flag is optional:
/^virus@firm/ R is equal to /^virus@firm/.
