Example for Entering Inbound Rules in the Rules.ima file

Enter the following rule into the e-mail domain 's rules.ima file:

H~(word1|word2|word3)!OR! B~(word1|word2|word3):spambox

H~(word1|word2|word3)!OR! B~(word1|word2|word3):spambox

Note: Replace word 1, word 2, and word 3 with the offensive words you want to search for. The vertical bar represents "or", therefore, this rule will search for word 1, or word 2, or word 3.

If you do not want the user to access spambox because you want to monitor the mail yourself (as the mail administrator), put a forward file in EACH user's folder. This file can be created in Windows Notepad and must match the name of the sub-mailbox you define in your rule. For example, spambox.fwd.

In the spambox.fwd file, only include the e-mail account that you want the filtered message to go to. For example, if you forward the messages to an "abuse" account, your spambox.fwd file will contain the following: abuse@your-domain.com.

Important: Notepad adds the .txt suffix to the filename of any newly created file. Make sure you name the text file with the .fwd suffix instead of the .txt suffix.
