I've got 10+ years of emails. I prefer to do this locally as it is more secure and more easily managed. Then I can delete the unnecessary emails because keeping ALL mail could increase it by 900%.

Are you SURE your ISP isn't blocking port 25 outgoing? I think that is was Godaddy that redirected all outgoing mail via their own mail servers as a spam precaution. If that is the case they would have been redirecting port 25. Hmmm... that was the reason for moving and use hMailserver and thus mai...

Sounds more like a nasty antivirus than a nasty virus.

Actually I find Microsoft Security Essentials best. It was not deleted... quarantined. But without a means to see subject or who the sender/recipient was.

Segregating new mail does the trick.

It has happened a few times now... my antiyvirus detects a trojan/virus in an email in my Thunderbord INBOX and fixes it almost immediately. Only problem with that is that it deletes the contents of all emails in the INBOX and just leaves the subject list. Of course all of those emails listed are bl...

The functions are there. But if they are being used, then it doesn't work. It didn't work in our tests.

There is also a function for detecting asian spam, but that doesn't work either.

Any improvement on those will be greatly appreciated

Decoding didn't work for us. Perhaps someone else can fix that part. Yes, we are checking both Subject and Message.

Ok, my blocklist filter is finished and it works. How it works block-list.txt contains a list of word and phrases that you want to block (create your own).

I am currently working on a new filter to detect keywords and delete if found.

If so, then what format/procedure should be observed?

I am currently working on a new filter to detect keywords and delete if found. It is based on the bad word filter mentioned earlier but instead of replacing the word, I intend to delete it.

Does pale moon allow and use old style firefox add-ons?

Not sure because I don't use them except for one that stops autoplay of video. But they do provide an extensive array of add-ons that are compatible.

Kendo

Since Firefox started adopting useless features found in advertising gimmick browsers (no name mentioned) I started losing interest. Dropping support for NPAPI, Flash and Java, plus persistent nagging about updating to their latest version of nonsense was too much in the end.

I now use Pale Moon.

Everyone's favorite is MS Outlook. Only because they find it already installed with Windows and don't bother looking for an alternative. I don't know if they have changed it much or not, but one big no-no was the way they hide the sender's email address. If anything, that should be most obvious, es...

Your SPF record allows your own mail server to send emails.

Of course it does. It is also listed as an allowed IP address. How else can websites hosted on it send mail outward?

How do your customers send mail normally? Webmail only?

New clients use a webform on one of the websites. Some sites are on the same server and some on another (apache) server.

Established contacts email directly from their mail client.

Or does the regex need to be included? If so, please provide an example of the completed script.

In hindsight that is easy to say, but now we know why. Perhaps hMailserver can be upgraded to cater for such a simple rule. Then we could do without SA which I have never liked.

We already got all of that, except for those clouding the issue by posting irrelevant suggestions.

That is of no use because it is the mail server applying the rule and not your local mail client.
