Hello

I created "What Object" who block mails who have field contains "newsletter@" and make following action :
- quarantine
- Modify spam subject
-> OK it works!

But if user whitelist a mail blocked with this rule, the whitelist doesn't work (I tested with differente priority + and -)

Thanks for your help

I carry on my research.
I tested to create objet for modify SPAM-LEVEL-SCORE

So I create new object:
TITLE: Set SPAM LEVEL 5
TYPE: HEADER ATTRIBUT
FIELD : X-SPAM-LEVEL
VALUE : 5 (also test with: Spam detection results: 5)

And in my rule action (block sender) > action object > Set SPAM LEVEL 5
But the spam level is the same

Mail header:
X-SPAM-LEVEL: Spam detection results: 0
 
I created "What Object" who block mails who have field contains "newsletter@" and make following action :
That should be a rule and not a what object?

* could you post some (anonymized) loglines of such mails (/var/log/mail.log)?

But if user whitelist a mail blocked with this rule, the whitelist doesn't work (I tested with differente priority + and -)
* The user white/black list basically are there to prevent mails from getting into the spam-quarantine, but rather get directly delivered to the users
* This is in contrast to the Admin or Global white/black list which can be used in the rule system to let mail get delivered directly or blocked without taking into consideration the spamscore

the question is : Can we set spam score with an object action ?
* This is not possible directly - since the spamscore is determined via SpamAssassin.
* You could create a custom spamassassin configuration to add a spamscore to a certain mail ( see the admin guide https://www.proxmox.com/images/download/pmg/docs/pmg-admin-guide.pdf - section 4.8)
* Additionally since PMG-5.2 you have the possibility to create a custom check script which has access to the mail and can set a spam-score (admin guide section 4.9)

Hope this helps!
 
Hello

I try to add custom rule, exemple :
add file : /etc/mail/spamassassin/custom.cf

Code:
mimeheader MIME_FAIL   Content-Type =~ /\.(ade|adp|bat|chm|cmd|com|cpl|exe|hta|ins|isp|jse|lib|lnk|mde|msc|msp|mst|pif|scr|sct|shb|sys|vb|vbe|vbs|vxd|wsc|wsf|wsh|reg)\b/i
describe   MIME_FAIL   Blacklisted file extension detected
score      MIME_FAIL   5

SSH (no error):
Code:
spamassassin --lint

Test send mail with file toto.vxd

But the mail received haven't the 5 score

Code:
X-SPAM-LEVEL: Spam detection results:  0

I forgot to do something ?
 
Hi,

i'm using also the custom.cf for own rules and i didn't include them in local.cf.
I search around here and you have to restart the pmg-smtp-filter service to refresh the rules:
Code:
systemctl restart pmg-smtp-filter

or restart the service over the GUI: Administration -> Services

Yes! you are right!
I remove my include and using "systemctl restart pmg-smtp-filter" it works!

I am searching a regex for changing score of a mail which would contain prefix 'newsletter@' would you have the syntax of rule for that ?
