I concur on the specific issue of forwarding to AOL
users, which has resulted in more than one occasion where my regular outbound
email to AOL has been blocked due to forwarding spam.
My new
policy is no forwards to AOL, period. I don't have that many users, so I can
deal with it. If I find a forward (in a bounce from AOL), I remove
it.

I appreciate that, really. I don't understand how
forwards ignore rules but I guess it wasn't brought up before. We have many
clients that forward business email to AOL which we much prevent due to AOL's
policy. It would also be greatly beneficial for us to also retain messages we
believe are spam rather than pay for the bandwidth to send them somewhere else.
We're already paying to receive that crap so paying more to send it off to
verizon or earthlink kinda sucks.

I agree that's a lot of extra work, but applying
rules after a forward is a feature that we don't currently support. Just
looking for alternatives to give you what you need for now.

setup a rule for each user??
This is a
BIG problem and getting bigger as we take on more customers. I don't think
this is going to be solved by creating rules on an individual basis for very
long.

How about setting up a rule forward for those
users to forward anything to their forward address unless it has the spam
header?

I would have to sift through thousands of
emails. I'm trying to create less work not more.
:)
The correct solution is to fix Imail so that
one or the other functions.

Not so far. How
about putting the spam in one account rather than back in the
account that mail is being forwarded from?

any ideas??

Inbound rules are applied to messages
as they are delivered to a mailbox. When a user sets a
forward the messages are not delivered so the rules aren't
applied.
My understanding is your users are
setting a forward for all of their mail to another account (AOL
for example) and never checking their mail locally; is this
correct? If you are sure the message is spam, have you
considered setting the spam action to delete?

yes, this was a result having rules
that are ignored when forwards are in place.

So if someone is
forwarding mail to a remote domain that contains a spam
header you want it to be delivered to a specific mailbox for
the sender? I'm drawing a blank on how to configure
that. I'll think on this for awhile.

not a different account but the
one it was to be forwarded from.

Yes, you can use an outbound
rule to forward the message to a different
account.

ok, great. So if we create
the rule which says to move the mail to say 'spam' it
will end up in the correct email
account?

The rules are loaded
based on the IPed host domain that is sending the
mail. Create the outbound rule for the IPed
domain that belongs to the ip sending the mail
(probably the primary host).

Kevin gave me a
workaround for a problem we have with forwards to
AOL which involved setting an outbound rule. Since
we can't give every domain on our server an IP to do
this we're kinda stuck.
The problem is that
rules won't apply to forwarded email so an outbound
rule must be added. Now, we can't do an outbound
rule since they don't exist on virtuals.
One
of these options needs to be corrected
somehow???

I believe there was a
defect in IAdmin in 8.X versions that showed the
outbound rules tab for virtual domains, but they
don't work that way. Outbound rules only
work for IP domains.

I only see outbound
rules on domains with an IP. This used to be a
feature for virtuals wasn't
it??
