GFI MailEssentials 7 Anti-Spam | 147
NOTE
When configuring phrases other than a single words, enclose them in double quotes
(“”).
Blocklist commands
Use blocklist commands to add a single email address or an entire domain to the email blocklist.
Available commands are:
ADDBLIST: <email>;
Example: ADDBLIST: [e-mail];
NOTES
1. Add an entire domain to the blocklist by specifying a wildcard before the domain
Example: ADDBLIST: *@domain.com;
2. Wildcards cannot be used in domain names.
Example: ADDBLIST:*@*.domain.com; is invalid and will be rejected.
3. For security reasons, there can be only one ADDBLIST command in an email, and
only one address can be specified as the command parameter. The parameter is either
a user email or a domain:
Example: ADDBLIST:[e-mail]; or ADDBLIST:*@spammers.org;
Bayesian filter commands
Add spam email or valid email (ham) to the Bayesian filter database. Available commands are:
Command Description
ADDASSPAM Instructs Bayesian filter to classify email as spam.
ADDASGOODMAIL Instructs Bayesian filter to classify email as HAM.
NOTE
These commands do not have parameters - the content of the email is the parameter.
Remote command logging
To keep track of changes made to the configuration database via remote commands, each email with
remote commands (even if the email with remote commands was invalid) is saved in:
<GFI MailEssentials installation
path>\GFI\MailEssentials\AntiSpam\ADBRProcessed\
The file name of each email is formatted according to the following format:
<sender_email_address>_SUCCESS_<timestamp>.eml - in case of successful
processing.
<sender_email_address>_FAILED_<timestamp>.eml - in case of failure.
