Hi,

  We have the following problem:

  several addresses are marked in the blacklist "from" emails ,

  these are addresses that useally get spams and dose not exists   in our system (for e.g info@mydomain.com) , but since our local domain have to be also in the "Local Domain" tab in the whitelists, mails that are identifiying themselvs to be from info@mydomain.com are bypassing all of the filters with the following message

"Bypassed all rules for: user@mydomain.com from info@mydomain.com ( Whitelisted Email From Domain)"

 

any ideas how to block specific address pretending to be from my local domain ?

 

Thanks

Sagi.

Sagi,

From your logs it looks as if you have your domain (mydomain.com) listed in the "Excluded FROM Emails" or in the "Excluded Domains / IPs". Please note that unless there is a very specific need to do that, you in general will want to avoid placing your own domain in your whitelists. If not, you will see exactly what is happening now, which is spammers faking your domain name that bypass all rules when sending you emails. You should only have your domain (mydomain.com) listed under the "Local Domains" whitelist. The Local Domains tell SpamFilter which emails it should receive emails for, while still applying all other filtering rules.
