ArchiveMail Exclusions

[Stephen Conway]

Hello:

Ok, I am trying now to do what I need but with Non-Spam-Actions.  I have the
forwarding working but there is one problem.  We already have a custom
function called "FleetActions" which is our default action for non-SPAM.  If
I specify this function as the action for Non-Spam in the MailScanner.conf
as follows:

Non Spam Actions = &FleetActions

Then all works as it should, our custom function in CustomConfig.pm gets
called.  But, if I try to put it instead to a ruleset file as:

Non Spam Actions = /opt/MailScanner/etc/rules/message.nonspam.rules

Which is:

From:   *@domain.com   and     To:     someuser at otherdomain.com
fowardeduser at domain.com
FromOrTo:       default &FleetActions

The messages that should be forwarded are working perfectly, the problem is
that our custom function now doesn't get called and an error goes in log as
follows:

" Message l8IIKrLi013637 produced illegal Non-Spam Action "&fleetactions",
so message is being delivered"

So I guess the question is, is there a way inside a ruleset file for Non
Spam Actions to specify a custom function found in CustomConfig.pm?

Thanks,

Steve

Do that with non-spam actions, spam actions and high-scoring spam actions.

That's not happening. MailScanner doesn't rely on *anything* in the 
headers to control scanning, as everything in the headers can be forged 
by a spammer or virus writer.
