Server side mail filters

Posted Oct 24 at 09:49 CDT by Remi in Email  - 2 comment(s)

We just added a much requested feature to our control panel: the ability to specify your own server-side mail filters.

To configure your own filter rules you just need to edit your mailbox, tick the "use manual procmailrc" box and then enter your rules in the "manual procmailrc" text area.

Here is a sample .procmailrc file:

# Send mail to spamassassin
:0fw: spamassassin.lock
| /usr/bin/spamassassin

# If spam level > 8, discard e-mail
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Level: ........
/dev/null

# If spam level > 5, put mail in "spam" folder
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Level: .....
mail/spam

# If subject contains "WebFaction", move e-mail to "webfaction" folder
:0:
* ^Subject:.*WebFaction*
mail/webfaction

Five days without a new feature ... something's wrong ... Wait, here is the feature of the day, code name "mail2script":

It allows you to specify a script name as a target for an e-mail address. To do so just enter the absolute path of the script in the "targets" field. You can also put some parameters after the path.

When an e-mail is sent to the e-mail address, your script will be executed and the e-mail data will be passed on stdin.

Simple and powerful, just the way we like it :)
