As for mxGuard, the results of our spam checks are added to the messages headers. The user/admin must configure IMail rules to benefit. As Marc said, we will be releasing a new version soon that includes subject modification for folks that want to use it instead of the header checks. mxGuard was written from an ISP point of view (mine) and will NOT delete messages automatically merely because they look like spam. We believe deleteing messages should only be done by the user or with their consent. You can however, using a simple IMail rule, move these messages to a spam folder for their review or you can simply delete them. It's up to you. Virus scanning is included in the current version and the admin has the option to configure it to quarantine or delete. Please contact me offlist or see http://www.mxguard.com/postmaster for more information.

The latest version also has virus protection capabilities. I doubt it has, or will have, the functionality to do what you want -- that's not what it was meant to do, afaik. It simply does header (and soon, subject) modification, which then allows you to set up filters based on those modifications. It does not handle "blocking", moving mail to specific folders, or deleting mail. David Gregg, certainly correct me if I'm wrong! -----Original Message----- From: Chris Wolverton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 11:13 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Rules equal not working Thanks Scott, not what I wanted to hear.

They are designed to detect strings of characters, but you are looking for one that understands language (specifically where one word ends and another begins). That goes beyond the scope of standard filtering. I'm not aware of any tools for IMail that would let you accomplish that. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
