Pegasus Mail & Mercury

Is there a filtering rule I could put in that would filter out mail from local user accounts that haven't authenticated?  This would eliminate spam I get that has a local email address as the sender. 

The short answer is "no" - I can't think of any way of doing this at the moment.

The idea is not without a certain merit, though. Let me think about it a bit.

Cheers!

This could be done easily if Mercury would put an AUTHENTICATED tag in the header. 

It should be solved by small daemon by SMTP server hooking. I know if connection is authjorized here, and i am using this information in GrayWall. (Authorized connections are not delayed anymore...)

So, most easy way is small daemon what can detect this state and add requested header to message. I must think about it too. 

As I noted in another thread, adding a header indicating that the message originated from an authenticated connection is trivially easy, and I'll do it as a standard part of MercuryS for v4.53. You can then create rules that simply look for that header.

Brilliant!

I came up with a quasi work around.  I setup a filtering rule to add a +50 to all messages from local accounts (There are only 3).  I set up another rule to add -999 to all accounts that had a certain signature line in the body. This isn't exactly reading an AUTH tag, but as close as I can get.
