Configure User specific Filters for MPE's Mail Services
Each user has the opportunity to preprocess his incoming mail stream by a filter. Usual applications are:
- storing or dropping tagged Spam messages depending on the score
- putting mails from certain senders or with special subjects in different folders as inbox
Calling the Filter Editor
Login to MPE mail user interface https://mail.mpe.mpg.de/tpl and choose menu 'Edit Filter'
- when clicking the 'save' button a syntax check is performed. If no errors where found, the new filter rules are installed
- use the 'default' button to reload the MPE default filter setup
- use the 'back' button to go back to the main menu
the standard filter as a example
The standard filter contents is copied automatically to a new user's environment. Take this contents as a template to construct your personal filter. Feel free to comment or uncomment the following lines in order to enable/disable functionalities.
#Exim filter
#
#if $header_from: contains "myimportantfromaddress" then
#save /home/virtual_mail/$local_part/
#finish
#endif
#if $h_x-spam-level: begins "********" then
#seen finish
#endif
#
if $h_x-spam-level: begins "****" then
save /home/virtual_mail/$local_part/.Spam/
endif
#
#if $h_from: contains "virusalert@rzg.mpg.de" then
#seen finish
#endif
