My guess here is that you are using DNS blacklists to do most of the filtering. The
problem is that for forwarded mail, the last IP address on the message is the
forwarding server, NOT the spammer's server. We have this same problem in house.
I wish there was a way to scan ALL the IP addresses in the message, not just the
connecting server. Does Declude do this?

Subject: [IMail Forum] IMail Antispam not filtering emails forwarded between domains.
Afternoon, all
I have a weird problem. I am running IMail 8.03 and am using the built in anti-spam
feature. Overall it is working well, but there is one bug I�ve run into that I can�t
quite figure out. The server is hosting several different email domains, and in some
cases emails destined for one domain are automatically forwarded to another domain (ie
an email comes in for [EMAIL PROTECTED], and is forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). When
one of these emails arrives and is a SPAM email, it does get processed by the
anti-spam, but instead of being forwarded to the account I have configured to receive
all blocked spam emails, it is instead forwarded on to the user. I can�t quite figure
it out, would enabling �Content Filtering for Authenticated Users� make a difference?
I do have an email in to IMail tech support on this but I figured I would cover all
the bases.
Thanks in advance,
Sam
