Move spam messages from user quarantine

Solignis · 12-07-2011, 10:15 AM

I was wondering, is there any possible way to move messages from the Untangle user quarantine to the users spam folder on a mail server?

I was thinking that one could right some kind of script to make this work but I am unaware of how Untangle stores the mail it collects.

I am posting this in the "Hacks" forum for a reason...

Are you not just asking then for the mail to be "marked" and delivered, and then you can use your mail server (or 3rd party program, as they are out there) to move it to a denoted folder in the users mailbox?

Yeah pretty much. I just want untangle to filter them and then hand them off to my mail server (in my case Zimbra) and then have Zimbra move them to the spam folder automagically.

What I am looking for is all of the feature of Untangle's spam filter minus the holding tank for the mail. Follow me?

If you go under spam blocker and change the quarantine to "mark" UT will scan the messages and the ones that would normally go to quarantine will then go to your mail server with something like [SPAM] or ***SPAM***, not sure how UT has SpamAssassin programmed.

I am not familiar with Zimbra so not sure if they have something like Exchange where you can say any message that arrives with X in the Subject field (which is where that will be injected), move to the users X folder (in your case you denoted Spam folder).

Ah I see so in theory I should be very possible to make this work with little effort if Zimbra supports the feature you are talking about.

Yes, depending on how Zimbra handles it, but from the UT side it is a matter of selecting a different action from the drop down menu and saving it (not sure if UT would require a reboot, never switched mid-stream).

I would reboot anyway, this would be a fresh install.

Thanks for the insight.
