trying to get SPAM appliation to deliver to Notes junkmail view
I have a SendMail appliance that is performing all our domains SPAM filtering etc, however I'd like for the blacklisted SPAM to be sent to the notes R6.5.4 clients JunkMail view for them to subsequently view/approve. SendMail has no issues with this, we can set a hidden metatag and a value to the email comming into Notes but we want Notes to then discover this and stick it straight into users junkmail view.
Any ideas on how best to go about this?

No, the rules there doesn't quite cut it. The inbound email will be metatagged and still needs to arrive at the recipent but be automatically placed in their junkmail view. I don't see any way the server doc rules you pointed me to could do this.
How about doing rules on the client?
ASKER
could a rule on the client be created and pushed to 1000 clients in a policy?
You would need to change the Mail template to either incldue an agent to automatically detect the metatag and put it in the folder, or change the rules to detect Metatags.
I hope this helps !

I don't think you can do that. It doesn't look possible to me, maybe one the other experts would know to do that. It might be possible by modifying the mail file template with the rules you want or creating an agent and then replacing the design on all your clients. Usually third party applications are available to do this, we use spamsentinel from maysoft, they have applications for the server and client.
I like the 3rd party suggestion, and I dislike the idea of changing mail templates. But the agent will do the trick for you. I think you cannot prevent that a user disables the agent. On the other hand, rolling out yet another application just for SPAM processing...

Yeah, I'm lothe to roll out a 3rd party app for spam processing, we've also spent out budget so we have to work with what we've got! :) I'll have a look at the agent, any tips?
There is a module in the mail template that does check for junk, all you would have to do is insert the extra filter. I'm not at a notes computer, but can look at this tonight.
I don't advise changing the Notes Mail Templates, but what I do is create a new copy and name it with my company and the special facility it serves, i.e. MailR6-SpamFilter. This way I can roll back clients to the default mail template, or roll them into the next one. If I migrate to a new version, then I have the old template to use for the new template additions or updates.
As long as you keep a log of modifications and updates, you shouldn't have a problem. Also, this way you can test, test, test. :)

yeah you are right, that sounds like the way to go. Will be interested to see what you find.
