Avira GmbH Avira AntiVir MailGate 43
this file can be used as a black and white list for the spam filter.
Each list consists of an address, given as regular expression. E.g.:
/^someone@somewhere\.tld$/i blacklist
The above example treats emails from [e-mail] as spam,
independently of the spam check result. "blacklist" is the action for the given
address.
Actions:
Actions overwrite the settings for the spam filter in avmailgate.conf (except for
white and black lists). Several actions can be specified for each address:
• blacklist - Treat mail as spam
• whitelist - Treat mail as clean
• block_spam - If the mail is spam, block it
• block_dangerous_attachment
- If the mail has a dangerous attachment, block it
• block_dangerous_alert - If the mail contains a dangerous alert, block it
• block_dangerous_iframe
- If the mail contains a dangerous iframe, block it
• tag_spam - If the mail is spam, tag it
• tag_dangerous_attachment
- If the mail has a dangerous attachment, tag it
• tag_dangerous_alert - If the mail contains a dangerous alert, tag it
• tag_dangerous_iframe - If the mail contains a dangerous iframe, tag it
Example of
/etc/asmailgate.except:
/^spam@somewhere\.tld$/i blacklist
All mail from [e-mail] will be treated as spam, independently of the
spam check result.
Actions can also be switched off. Example:
• in /etc/avmailgate.conf:
SpamAction BLOCK
• in /etc/asmailgate.except:
/^me@here\.tld$/i r !block_spam
Do not block spam for the given recipient address.
"r" is the flag for recipient. It means that the given address should be matched
against the recipient address and not against the sender address.
The default (without the "r" flag) is to match the address against the sender
address.
For Avira MailGate v 2.1.3, a match in this list concerns all recipients even if the mail was
sent to recipients that are not listed. E. g. (in asmailgate.except):
/^someone@somewhere\.tld$/i r block_spam
If Avira MailGate processes a mail to [e-mail] [e-mail] and
the mail was rated as spam, [e-mail] will not receive the mail since it was blocked due
to the rule for [e-mail]. This behavior will be changed in a further
release.
