Filtering Forwarded eMail

[homepagestore]

We have setup Spam filters for each eMail account. But we find that when we request that eMail to that account be forwarded to another eMail account, the filtering is not done before forwarding takes place.

Is there a way to force QMail to filter the eMail before checking for forwarding?

We want only good eMail forwarded to recipients.

Thanks ahead of time for your help!

Kindest Regards,

A little more detail on your implementation of filters would help....

I can't answer that question. I am working with an account we are paying to host. Tech-Support at the hosting company tells me there is no way for QMail to apply the filter before the forwarding takes place.

I was hoping to get a second opinion here...

Not necessarily, I find it hard to believe that this is the only way for QMail to process mail.

If the filter does not run before forwarding then the number of SPAM messages is multiplied by the number of recipients in the forward. Not a smart option...

Hopefully someone knows how to configure QMail to apply the filters before Forward Processing... I can only Hope.

I am trying to find documentation on the internet but have not found anything that deals with filtering indepth.

Silence is Golden, but not in this case. If someone knows for sure that QMail cannot apply filters before eMail forwarding please let us know.

If you know where the answer can be found, please let me know.
