[Declude.JunkMail] $default.$JunkMail

[Dale McDiarmid]

I think I've solved this one, but am curious how it could have happened...

I had an employee receive a spam which should have been labeled as spam but was not. My setup has a $default.$JunkMail at the root of Declude which only warns. Then I have a $default.$JunkMail for the domain which labels spam as [Spam?]. All this has been working fine for years.

It's as though this message was treated by the root's $default$JunkMail, not the domain's. Perhaps it has something do with the message addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the rest of the recipients as BCCs. But, the postmaster was for mydomain so it should have been using the domain's $default.$JunkMail.

Either way, I set the root $default.$JunkMail to label spam instead of just warning, so this shouldn't happen again.

But, as I said, I'm just curious how this would happen. I didn't think any messages used the root's $default.$JunkMail if all my domain's have their own.

Thanks,
D.
