Blacklist Doesn't Seem to Work

Hi Harry,

I'm taking for granted that you have your Content Control Rule (e.g. "Basic Spam Detection") enabled and have set the Applicability to "all messages" or "messages from the internet" (I'm using the fully german version - insofar the names could differ a little bit)

But on the other hand I have activated and tested the Pmail blacklist function right now. And it it also not working with me [:(] when I'm adding a sender's address to the blacklist. But in our case all mails are being retrieved, and spam-assessed on the Mercury server by Spamhalter. And Spamhalter is adding additional flags to the mail header (e.g. "X-SPAMHALTER: whitelisted"). Don't know whether Pmail is fully trusting it and does nothing more. Maybe others guys who are using Pmail as standalone mail program without Mercury could post their experiences in this regard.

As a result of suggestions I've received to deal with other problems I'm having with Pegasus, I've taken some of the new mail filtering that I was doing and I have put it in Content Control.  Right now I am only using the Blacklist and Whitelist features in the content control definition.  I have taken the email addresses that I used to filter out in the new mail and I have put them in the Blacklist.  However, it doesn't seem to work.  I still get email from those addresses put in the New Mail folder.

 Here is my Blacklist file -

\TITLE Junkmail Blacklist

*@vrnewhampshire.com

*@Investorplace.com

HilaryKramer@*

JimLowell@*

The action for this content control definition is to move the email to the Junk folder.

 

Thanks for any help.

Harry
