So, I have faced a new problem regarding spam, and that is related to forwarding emails.

These rules listed in this thread work perfect to filter all those incoming emails as spam if they are so, however what happens if some customers have setup email forwarding to their accounts under vestacp?

As an example I have customers who have set their emails on vesta to forward emails to gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc. Some of them receive many spam emails which are categorized in the Junk folder within vestacp thanks to this config, however these emails are being forwarded to other email providers causing them to block our IPs because of the forwarding.

I found some config settings within exim that can are preventing emails to be forwarded if they are categorized as spam by spam assassin under directadmin, but not sure how can I implement this to vestacp instance: https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=156
http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=42111

Is there someone with a better knowledge on this scenario?

Running on Debian 7 64 bits and vestacp 16

I think in exim.conf you have to put the router before everything else (I could be wrong - you can test). This is for Debian 7.

So

Code: Select all

localuser_spam:
  driver = accept
  transport = local_spam_delivery
  condition = ${if eq {${if match{$h_X-Spam-Status:}{\N^Yes\N}{yes}{no}}} {${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/exim4/domains/$domain/passwd}{yes}{no_such_user}}}}
Would go before this part:

Code: Select all

userforward:
That means spam messages are dealt with first before any forwarding, etc.

Will test it within the next couple of days and post here if it works!

Yep, this actually solved the situatio, changing the order of the routers is all I needed, now mails only in the inbox are being forwarded :)

Fantastic!

I'm going to update all my exim.conf files as well. Might be an idea to have this as a feature.

Because I think that moving the wrong paragraph to the wrong place can result in some other problem.

Thanks !! (and If I missed something, please be nice with me !! :)

Cut this from exim.conf

Code: Select all

localuser_spam:
  driver = accept
  transport = local_spam_delivery
  condition = ${if eq {${if match{$h_X-Spam-Status:}{\N^Yes\N}{yes}{no}}} {${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/exim4/domains/$domain/passwd}{yes}{no_such_user}}}}
and paste it BEFORE (in exim.conf):

Code: Select all

userforward:
so your exim.conf looks like (this is only PART of your exim.conf):

Code: Select all

dnslookup:
  driver = dnslookup
  domains = !+local_domains
  transport = remote_smtp
  no_more

localuser_spam:
  driver = accept
  transport = local_spam_delivery
  condition = ${if eq {${if match{$h_X-Spam-Status:}{\N^Yes\N}{yes}{no}}} {${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/exim/domains/$domain/passwd}{yes}{no_such_user}}}}

userforward:
  driver = redirect
  check_local_user
  file = $home/.forward
  allow_filter
  no_verify
  no_expn
  check_ancestor
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  reply_transport = address_reply
