Ivone Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Mike, just wondering if it's possible to setup server site SPAM filter for very basic spam words i.e.I mean on your site, before it even gets to my accounts. ViagraGenuinePfizerApprovedAuthorizedFreePromotional0ffer I have spam filter implemented on my Pc's and laptop, but my BlackBerry Storm is going crazy.

TIAGeorgeYou can just set up account level filters in your cPanel - I have done the same thing. cPanel->"Account Level Filtering" "Genuine" is a not a good word to filter (because I can think of a lot of legitimate uses of the word in a legitimate email, neither is approved, authorized, free, promotional, etc..." But I could see Pfizer being filtered http://www.screen-shot.net/2010-01-01_2200.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if this can be done on your server site "before" it get's to my accounts and the rest of your clients. Maybe not all the filters as you indicated, but Viagra and Pfizer for sure. These two alone send me a lot of spam. Like I said, just wondering if it's feasible... TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivone Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 OK, this is the latest -hope it will work.. In cPanel->"Account Level Filtering" Rule = Multi nameFrom>contains:Authorized, Approved, VIAGRA, Genuine, Pfizer, Supplier, facebook, Retaile, Best Discard messages. Done. This should work - right?

TIAIf you would like to open a support ticket to have us look at the filter we can advise you better as to whether it should work. If you look at my example above you will see we have each word we wish to be filtered on a separate line separated with an "or" in the drop down box.

I did it already as in my last post and seems to work. My spam is down to almost nothing. I don't get to much spam in my laptop (I have antispam software installed), but my Blackberry is a pain - it get's it all Anyway my setup is working, I did one account at the time. It would be nice to have global setting in CPanel for ALL the accounts or something on your server site (global for all your clients) for the basic stupid keywords - viagra etc. Regardless - thanks for the offer, but I should be fine for now. Best 2010 to you and the staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 We've been looking into some better spam filtering systems but unfortunately most of them are very expensive. We already have a lot of things like the R1Soft Backups that we didn't increase our base pricing for but if we add to much more prices will have to go up and we're trying to avoid that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
