I have been trying to block spam from someone posing as microsoft but I can not get Spamfilter .178 to block this email. From: "Microsoft" <security@microsoft.com> Shouldn't simply putting security@microsoft.com in the blacklist From file do it ? Is this an operator error (ME) or a bug in .178 ? Thanks, Lee |

Lee, The blacklist "From" filter works based on the "MAIL FROM" address that is specified by the remote server, not the "From:" header in the email content. You should be able to see the original MAIL FROM address by looking at the "Return-Path" address in the email header. Roberto F. |

That's why we're here! Yes, the same applies for the domain filter. Roberto F.
