Every time a spammer sends email with a spoofed "from" address that is my address, ie me@myserver.com, spamhalter was letting it pass. I would religiously move the email to the "MissedSpam" mailbox using IMAP (forwarding doesn't seem to work unless you do it on the server), but it appears to just be blacklisting me@myserver.com, which then causes all MY emails sent from myserver.com to other users @myserver.com!
So, I dig messages from me out of the spam trap (I have spamhalter flag messages with a header, then mercury moves the messages to a spam@myserver.com account, which acts as a quaranteen for spam so that if anything important gets lost we can go look for it) and into the "notspam" account, as well as forwarding them to the intended recipient. Then it appears to whitelist any email CLAIMING to be from me@myserver.com!
Is there any way to guarantee that mail sent from me is not filtered as spam? I'm disapointed that spamhalter can't tell the difference between a spoofed from address and a real one - especially when the real ones are originating LOCALLY. I thought it was supposed to filter based on content, not just the alleged "from" address.
Thanks!
