Forwarding copy of SPAM-tagged subjects to my mailbox?

Pat_ironport

Our ISP was starting to tag some of our mails with the addition [SPAM] in the subject.

How can I forward a copy of every incoming mail with such a text in the subject to a internal spam-mailbox for further checks?
Can I use some kind of regular expression for the search of "SPAM" in the subject?

If our C100 doesn't detect such a mail as spam, how can I remove the added tag from the ISP?
(Some of our employees are a little bit confused about this and ask for the appropriate handling of such mails).

Yes, you can generally put in an incoming content filter that will search for something like this:


if ( subject == "^[SPAM]" )

then
alt-mailhost('alternate_location');

or

bcc-scan('spamcheck@company.com')


The Advanced User guide found on the Support Portal will explain these actions in further detail.


However, we need to verify what Sendergroup/Mail Flow Policy the ISP is matching on. This makes a difference because we need to know if this connection is occurring on the inbound(Accepted, Throttled mail flow policy) or on the outbound (Relayed).

Is the ISP on a Relaylist? (Mail Policies > HAT Overview)


Once we have more information, we can provide a more specific answer.
