Hello,

We have a client with a Domino R5 server. R5 doesn't cope well with user
unknowns. Due to the recent wave of viruses and spam they are being hit
with thousands of e-mail that has forged From: @domain.com to
@domain.com addresses and I was wondering if the following rulesets
would work to stop them receiving the spam (the viruses I can take care of)

Lets assume that 123.45.67.8 is the IP of their Domino server on our
network and domain.com is their domain.

spam.whitelist.rules
From: 123.45.67.8       yes

spam.blacklist.rules
From: domain.com        yes

spam.actions.conf
From: domain.com        delete

Would this ^ work?

or this

spam.actions.conf
From: domain.com and To: domain.com delete

work ?

We are using MailScanner 4.31-6

Thank you

Matthew
