| [[BR]] The sequence '''save /home/virtual_mail/$local_part/.xxx''' is a important statement in the filter which tells exim to store the acutal email in the named folder, in this case the folder xxx and not in the default inbox. For the foldername you can use any name. The folder is created automatically in case it is not available. Notify the dot before the foldername. The rest of the pass is binding and expresses the real path on the mail server. $local_part always contains your username. |

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
