The same obstacle I have not quite overcome as of yet. We use a size restriction to keep mailbox's from filling up the entire mail server HD (10MB per user). And to ensure their SPAM box does not stop incoming mail if the user is not erasing it we have this little disclaimer...
Note: All mailbox's have a 10 megabyte limit, and due to restrictions of our mail server we cannot automatically purge SPAM after a certain amount of time, to ensure your SPAM folder does not fill up your mailbox, if your SPAM folder ever reaches 3 megabytes, it will automatically be completely erased. And to enforce it, I run a nightly search on the entire mail dir D:\mail\*\spam.mbx (recursive serch) Where size > 3084kb And erase any spam.mbx's that I find.... I'm working on a more creative solution. -----Original Message----- From: Charles Frolick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 11:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Address Book Only in Declude? I do have one question, how do you manage the size of the spam folder when they use that option? I would love to use the MAILBOX action, but have no way of cleaning out the spam folder without affecting the other folders, including inbox, as well. We currently do not use aging as a restriction for those who use webmail exclusively, we opted for size limits instead.

Ok, I will stop posting on this thread after this. For a working-example on how I have achieved this with imail and cold fusion I have setup a test account. Login = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pass = declude Manager: http://users.bsc.net/ WebMail: http://mail.bsc.net/ >From the manager you can *import* an Outlook Express address book, Or build your own, you can adjust the filter levels, and block individual users. These features just manage the rules.ima, which you can watch by going to the web-mail Interface and clicking "Change Processing Rules" Anyone on this list is welcome to upload dummy address book's and play with this account I just wanted to demonstrate to others how I have creatively achieved this with IMAIL 6 / Cold Fusion. * note: I built this interface before I became aware of the power of WEIGHT, changing the filter-definitions to work with weights instead of individual headers is on my to-do list, so if anyone actually does look at this please don't flame me on how I could improve that. I am already aware :) -----Original Message----- From: Tom Baker|Netsmith Inc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 10:44 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Address Book Only in Declude?

Oh, for an "address book only" You must also add one last entry at the bottom of rules.ima H~THISWILLNEVERMATCHBECAUSEITSAREALLYLONGBOGUSSSTRING:NUL That will force anything not matched in the above of rules.ima to be deleted Ex: --rules.ima-- H~[EMAIL PROTECTED]:main F~declude.com:main F~[EMAIL PROTECTED]:main H~THISWILLNEVERMATCHBECAUSEITSAREALLYLONGBOGUSSSTRING:NUL --/rules.ima-- Anything that does not match the first 3 lines will be deleted -----Original Message----- From: Tom Baker|Netsmith Inc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 10:38 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Address Book Only in Declude? Yes, this is how I already accomplished this for my users. I have a cold fusion interface which verified login/password, then manages their rules.ima Anyone they want to "allow" it writes at the top of the rules.ima... F~[EMAIL PROTECTED]:MAIN Any junk-mail they want to block it sends to SPAM folder H~X-RBL-WARNING:SPAM The "problem" with authorization is that IMAIL passwords are stored in registry, so you have to make your script verify their password via POP3, or use the IMAIL/REG password Decryption routine that I wrote. Could easily be replicated in .asp as well -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 9:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Address Book Only in Declude?

Scott Perry Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Address Book Only in Declude? I just got the following request from one of my users: R> How do I arrange to receive only emails from members of my address book? In my opinion this could be the biggest feature added to Declude at this time. Here's how I'd like it to work: Declude looks at a text cfg file to see if this feature is turned on for a select domain or e-mail account... for example, if in ADDR.CFG email address or domain wyndows.com or [EMAIL PROTECTED] then Look at c:\Imail\Wyndows\users\heath\aliases.txt MAILFROM exists then pass the e-mail to this account, else delete...or return e-mail as rejected..
