[VOPmail Beta] what is the "protocol filter"

[Suneel Jhangiani]

Title: Message

The Protocol filter does indeed refer to the SPAMFLT0.txt filter. As the example you posted below shows the mail is filtered based on a subject. However, the earlier message does not show a reason which would imply that the IP Address of the sending machine is being blocked by the filters. I’m not sure if other blocks also make the same entry however you could check by looking at the SPAMFLT0.txt file for the IP Address or hostname and checking other areas where SMTP connections can be blocked to see which one would be blocking this.   ----- I before E except after C.

When it says protocol, I assume it means SMTP, POP, IMAP, etc. I have not had that portion of logging turned on before and have just noticed it. The ERR log indicates that it is is using the spmflt01.txt filter by saying:   << 554 Filtered out by Filter 0 because "Subject" =   But this is different.
