Hi Remo Our problem has been answered regarding In Bound Rules and aliases.
I've got an alias on a third party hosting company that redirects all mail sent to it, to my email account and I'm receiving huge amounts of spam from it; so it also seems that any in bound mail passed through an external alias or forwarded seems to bypass the Antispam filters all together. There is no sign of X-IMAIL-SPAM in the headers of any of these emails. This might be why some of your accounts are receiving spam. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Remo Pistor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 3:51 AM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] In Bound Rules and Aliases no go! > Aaron, > > Not that this helps, but I have also experienced the same problem.
