this file can be used as a black and white list for the spam filter.
Each list consists of an address, given as regular expression. E.g.:
/^someone@somewhere\.tld$/i blacklist
The above example treats emails from [email protected] as spam,
independently of the spam check result. "
blacklist
" is the action for the given
address.
Actions:
Actions overwrite the settings for the spam filter in
avmailgate.conf
(except for
white and black lists). Several actions can be specified for each address:
•
blacklist
- Treat mail as spam
•
whitelist
- Treat mail as clean
•
block_spam
- If the mail is spam, block it
•
block_dangerous_attachment
- If the mail has a dangerous attachment, block it
•
block_dangerous_alert
- If the mail contains a dangerous alert, block it
•
block_dangerous_iframe
- If the mail contains a dangerous iframe, block it
•
tag_spam
- If the mail is spam, tag it
•
tag_dangerous_attachment
- If the mail has a dangerous attachment, tag it
•
tag_dangerous_alert
- If the mail contains a dangerous alert, tag it
•
tag_dangerous_iframe
- If the mail contains a dangerous iframe, tag it
Example
of
/etc/asmailgate.except
:
/^spam@somewhere\.tld$/i blacklist
All mail from [email protected] will be treated as spam, independently of the
spam check result.
Actions can also be switched off.
Example
:
•
in /etc/avmailgate.conf:
SpamAction BLOCK
•
in /etc/asmailgate.except:
/^me@here\.tld$/i r !block_spam
Do not block spam for the given recipient address.
"
r
" is the flag for
recipient
. It means that the given address should be matched
against the recipient address and not against the sender address.
The default (without the "
r
" flag) is to match the address against the
sender
address.
For Avira MailGate v 2.1.3, a match in this list concerns all recipients even if the mail was
sent to recipients that are not listed. E. g. (in
asmailgate.except
):
/^someone@somewhere\.tld$/i r block_spam
If Avira MailGate processes a mail to [email protected] [email protected] and
the mail was rated as spam, [email protected] will not receive the mail since it was blocked due
to the rule for [email protected]. This behavior will be changed in a further
release.
