Theres nothing between the firewall and the Domino server.
The firewall have 2 "recent" lists, for recent emails gone through it, one for normail mail, and one for mail tagged as spam, and its not listed in the spam list, but in the "legal" mail list.

>Are there any Domino Rules set up for content filtering ?
How do i check this? I didnt set up the Domino installation, so im not sure about this.

In the admin client, go to Configuration Tab, choose your server and look under the messaging view.

The last Tab is rules, but the other tabs may have oter restrictions.

Also check the Admin client help under rules

I hope this helps !

In help see

Theres no server rules Tab, neither from what Sysexpert explained or where the help in the admin client explainer it would be, this would mean that there are no rules defined i guess?
I found some old "leftovers" from an Symantec mail security for domino, checking out this now.

I just had a similar problem with our Domino 6.5.4 install. We have a spam filter that we outsource to another company, they were saying that we had a ton of mail qued up on their server and it mostly looked like spam. It ended up being our Firewall, Cisco ASA 5510, we had the following lines in it,

policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default
inspect esmtp

and basically what was going on is the spam filter/mail server would connect to domino, then it would start sending the mail using a command that firewall did not like (see below for a list of what the ASA device looks for) and it would terminate the connection, hence Domino would not have a chance to kick an error code back, think it would have been tough even to see this on a sniffer, which was my next test. So for me it was the firewall. Good luck,

Chiprock,

ESMTP inspection operates in the same way that SMTP inspection does. Packets with illegal commands are modified to an "xxxx" pattern and forwarded to the server, which triggers a negative reply. An illegal ESMTP command is any command except for these commands:

AUTH

DATA

EHLO

ETRN

HELO

HELP

HELP

MAIL
NOOP

QUIT

RCPT

RSET

SAML

SEND

SOML

VRFY

ESMTP inspection also examines these extensions via deeper command inspection:

Message Size Declaration (SIZE)

Remote Queue Processing Declaration (ETRN)

Binary MIME (BINARYMIME)

Command Pipelining

Authentication

Delivery Status Notification (DSN)

Enhanced Status Code (ENHANCEDSTATUSCODE)

8-bit MIMEtransport (8BITMIME)

>>Theres no server rules Tab<< Hmmm...
Open the Public Address Book
Click on Configuration
Then Messaging
Then Under Messaging click on Configurations

If there isn't a Configurations document, then you need to create one.
If there is a configurations document for your smtp server, then open that document.
Click on the Router/SMTP tab
Then click on Restrictions and Controls tab to view the inbound/outbound/Rules for that server.

I actually found an Symantec Mail security for domino installation now, just have to figure out how to access the web interface since it isnt working, but I bet this is whats yanking the emails.
