Sending spam to a specific folder in a user account

You can allow your users to manage their own spam by directing all messages that are identified as spam into a folder for the user account. The user can then delete the ones that are spam, notify you of any false positives, or set up a forward file that will move specific messages into their Inbox.

To create a rule that moves spam into a specific sub mailbox:

  1. Make sure that all of the antispam features are setup with the Insert X-Header action to be taken when e-mail is determined to be spam. For more information, see Setting Inbound Delivery Rules for IMail Domains.
  2. Click on an e-mail domain's Inbound Rules page, then click Add. Enter the following rule parameters:

Field: Header

Comparison: Contains

Search Text: X-IMAIL-SPAM

  1. Click Add. The new rule is added to the list of rules.

Select the rule you just added.

  1. On the Action Type list, select Move to Mailbox.
  2. In the Target (address) box, enter the mailbox name that you want to send the message to. For example, "Spam".
  3. Click Save.
