Is it possible only to scan some users account?

[fgraffi]

Hi there,
I'm working in a small company and i'm planning to change our spam blocker to the the app of Untangle.
I want to test if first so i thought in putting the untangle server in the production environment but just to scan my user, and not all the mails of the company. is that possible? how could i do it?

Thanks,
Franco

Franco,

It is not possible. Untangle is not like a barracuda or iron forge. Untangle scans all email as it passes through the gateway or bridge, it does not redirect MX records or even have knowledge of the individual email accounts on the server. It simply scans anything that comes through an email port (smtp, imap, pop).

I know this is a couple days old, so you may not be looking any more...

You could set the spam blocker to just pass all e-mail. So nothing will actually change about the e-mails themselves.

But, all your mail will be passing through Untangle, getting scored, logged, etc. You can look at the log and see how each e-mail got scored. If you install the reports module, you'll be able to see reports of how much e-mail was spam, who got the most spam, etc.

There's also an option under "Advanced SMTP" to add X-Spam headers to each e-mail, but you'd have to first make sure your mail server would ignore those headers. Then you could examine the scoring on each e-mail that comes to your inbox.

Once you're satisfied with how it's working and are ready to enable it for your users, you can change the Action to Quarantine, and also check the "Drop Superspam" checkbox to just throw away certain spam.
