I run a similar setup with spamassassin boxs in front of imail. You can automate a clean up on spam mailboxes with a scheduled task so mailboxs do not fill up. In a .bat file place the following and schedule it to run every day in the early morning hours, or when ever your traffic is lightest. "d:\imail\immsgexp.exe -td:\imail -d14 -mspam.mbx" This removes messages older than 14 days in the spam mailboxes only. Korey Verlsteffen www.securenetsystems.net

Re: [IMail Forum] Anyone have a tool that can do this.
I'm working on something like this for our needs, though its primary purpose is for review and false positive reporting (instead of central administration only), and the summary stats Nick mentions below and notification emails were not originally planned. However, those can be added without much difficulty. If people are interested, we can add those features and let them know when a beta is available next month.

RE: [IMail Forum] Anyone have a tool that can do this.
I did this in IMail last year and it's still working great. I created a program alias called spamhold under the clients account and redirected all failed messages to this address. The program alias calls a VB.NET console application I wrote that creates a "spamhold" folder under clients folder. It subsequently creates a new folder for each month and stores all the spam as eml text files. Only problem with it is that I have some customers that get massive amounts of spam and the data slows down my nightly backups. Here's the main part of my code: Sub Main() 'The 2 event handlers 'add an unhandled exceptions handler Dim currentDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain 'for regular unhandled stuff AddHandler currentDomain.UnhandledException, AddressOf MYExceptionHandler Dim spamname As String = String.Empty 'make sure spam folder exists Dim spamfolder As New IO.DirectoryInfo(Current & "\spamhold") If spamfolder.Exists = False Then spamfolder.Create() 'build string for current year and month Dim nMonth As Integer = Today.Month Dim cMonth As String If nMonth < 10 Then cMonth = "0" & nMonth.ToString Else cMonth = nMonth.ToString End If Dim cYearMonth As String = Today.Year.ToString & "-" & cMonth 'make sure folder exists for current month Dim monthfolder As New IO.DirectoryInfo(Current & "\spamhold\" & cYearMonth) If monthfolder.Exists = False Then monthfolder.Create() 'open the log file Dim spamlog As New StreamWriter(Current & "\spamhold.log", True) Try 'if a file name was passed in, move the file from source into spam folder If Args.Length > 1 Then spamfile = New IO.FileInfo(Args(1)) If spamfile.Exists Then 'loop until an unused file name is found Do While True Randomize() spamname = "spam" & cYearMonth & "-" & Today.Day.ToString & "-" & Fix(Rnd(999) * 1000) & Second(Now) & ".eml" targetfile = New IO.FileInfo(Current & "\spamhold\" & cYearMonth & "\" & spamname) If targetfile.Exists = False Then spamfile.MoveTo(Current & "\spamhold\" & cYearMonth & "\" & spamname) spamlog.WriteLine(DateTime.Now & ": " & spamname) Exit Do End If Loop End If End If Catch ex As Exception spamlog.WriteLine(DateTime.Now & ": ERROR" & spamname) End Try spamlog.Close() End Sub -Gary Gary Jorgenson, RN President/CEO - Robin Technologies, Inc. 670 Lakeview Plaza Blvd., Suites I & J | Worthington, OH 43085 Phone: 614.888.3001 | Fax: 614.888.3002 | Cell: 614.961.0670 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.robintek.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Travis Rabe Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 2:32 PM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Anyone have a tool that can do this.
