Unfortunately not. Any test that is defined in your global.cfg file will be run against all message recieved. Your $default.junkmail file simply tells Declude what to do with the message based upon the results of those tests.

Hello Thanks for your answer. So I understand it can not be done to reject invalid senders simply by using Declude/Imail? I really need another product? Also another question: I use per domain configuration for Junkmail - can it be configured so that it only performs the tests on mails that go to a domain that has been set up with a configuration folder? It seems like declude is doing the tests on all mails which uses more ressources than doing the tests only when required (as defined in per domain config) Thanks Andy Schmidt schrieb: > Hi, > > Basically, you should put a mail gateway in front of your mail server that > can integrate your list of valid email recipients and that can refuse most > of your messages based on your anti-spam and anti-virus policies. > > One option would be to run Declude's own gateway product. > > However, to me a crucial element of a gateway is that it MUST reject > messages DURING the SMTP envelope (e.g., after the data is received but > before the receipt is confirmed with a 2xx.).
