Hello good afternoon. I am receiving several phishing emails.

Is it possible to create a rule to block emails based on an expression in the body of the email?

For example: Click here.

I found how to do it by the sender, by the subject, but I couldn't find it by the body of the email.


Thank you in advance for your help.
 
Good Morning. My mailboxes were breached and triggered several emails just like the one I want to block.

Gentlemen, reading the documentation. I understand that I need to use Spamassassin to block expressions in the body of the email.

I am trying this configuration.

################################################################
ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin\plugin:\phishing

phishing_openphish_feed /etc/mail/spamassassin/openphish-feed.txt
phishing_phishtank_feed /etc/mail/spamassassin/phishtank-feed.csv

body URI_PHISHING eval:check_phishing()
describe URI_PHISHING Url match phishing in feed
score URI_PHISHING 0 2.4 0 2.5

body TEST_RULE /\bclique\b/i
describe TEST_RULE Regra 01
score TEST_RULE 2.5


endif
###################################################################

Has anyone done this type of blocking?

Option 1: PMG's mail filter do not support email body checking. Create custom template to use postfix's body_checks.
Create your own body_checks files with regex for reject/discard. Add below line to your custom main.cf.

Code:
body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/body_checks

https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/block-email-spam-check-header-body-with-postfix-spamassassin

Remember to remove no_header_body_checks from the /etc/postfix/master.cf. You will loose the ability to quarantine and check the block body_checks email in Tracking center.

Option 2: To use spamassassin, create your custom spamassassin rule under /etc/mail/spamassassin/custom.cf.
Remember to run service pmg-smtp-filter restart to restart the spamassassin service.

Code:
body         test1    /test/i
describe     test1    test1
score         test1     0.5

Send an test mail with "test" as body and check out the spam score.

Code:
X-SPAM-LEVEL: Spam detection results:  0
    AWL                     0.137 Adjusted score from AWL reputation of From: address
    BAYES_00                 -1.9 Bayes spam probability is 0 to 1%
    DKIM_SIGNED               0.1 Message has a DKIM or DK signature, not necessarily valid
    DKIM_VALID               -0.1 Message has at least one valid DKIM or DK signature
    DKIM_VALID_AU            -0.1 Message has a valid DKIM or DK signature from author's domain
    DKIM_VALID_EF            -0.1 Message has a valid DKIM or DK signature from envelope-from domain
    FREEMAIL_FROM           0.001 Sender email is commonly abused enduser mail provider
    HTML_MESSAGE            0.001 HTML included in message

    RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_H2      -0.001 Average reputation (+2)
    SPF_HELO_NONE           0.001 SPF: HELO does not publish an SPF Record
    SPF_PASS               -0.001 SPF: sender matches SPF record

@hata_ph,
Thanks for the help. I did both settings, I found receiving the emails in quarantine, but I also received them in the inbox.
See my confs:

Master.cf

Main.cf

File body_checks:

Custom.cf

Hi everyone,

I also needed this and for me worked what @hata_ph wrote in comment #6.

So:
  1. Create /etc/mail/spamassassin/custom.cf. file if you didn't already
  2. Make changes based on his/her comment
  3. Restart PMG smtp filter service with service pmg-smtp-filter restart
  4. Do check its status just to be sure everything is okay. service pmg-smtp-filter status

Thanks hata_ph!
