Can anyone tell me if a filter can be set to check specific header detail information, and then take or not take appropriate action on the message?

thx

Hi Bill thanks for the quick reply.  Hmm..  kind of what I want to be able to is reject message's based upon the sending host name.  for instance. comcast.net uses the following for it's clients symbolics.

00a-a1-00.ne.client.comcast.net

These symbolics should not be able to send mail, they should be using smtp.comcast.net. Many of the ISPs are now encoding the clients this way to help email admins and ISPs deter home users from sending smtp directly.  This is what spammers or smtp hi-jackers use to send spam.

so if I could say write a script to say something like the following:

If header is = Received:*client.comcast.net* then action is to reject

Communigate pro offers this and it's very handy.  When I tested communigate pro with this feature, it eliminated almost all of the spam I receive.

let me know what you think?

No, but I will give it a go.

Thanks for the help.

Jerry,

Currently the only header against which keyword searches can be performed is the "Subject". We had in the past included all headers, but that caused too many false positives to be picked up because of the "strange" coding some headers have.

Adding a selected type of headers only, as the "Received:" ones, is not a bad idea. I've added it to the wish list, and will be implemented soon.
