PureMessage - Question about End User Spam Digest Email and distribution lists

Hi,

We recently installed Sophos PureMessage and are considering activating the End User Spam Digest Email feature.  However, I have a question I hope that you can answer.

I understand that an email is sent to the end user with a link to the quarantined messages.  How does this work with  a distribution group which contains several users/email addresses? 

Will all the users in the distribution list receive the same email?

Will they all have permission to click on the link and make view the quarantined messages?

Is it possible to create a rule so that the digest email for a particular distribution list goes to one or two individuals only and not the entire distribution group?

Thank you for your help.

  • Hi,

    in the first you should create group(s) under Policy -> Lists -> add list with the specification :

    To create a customized digest user list:

    1. On the Policy tab in the PureMessage Manager, and click New at the top of the Lists sub-menu.

      The Policy: Add List/Map page is displayed.

    2. Fill in the form as follows:
      1. Select List as the Type.
      2. For both the ID and the Name, enter a name that begins with digest- and is descriptive of the list's purpose, such as digest-secondshift.
      3. For the Match Type, select Email Globs.
      4. Select the Source option of your choice, and fill in any information as required.
      5. Click Save.

        You are prompted to add items to the newly created list.

      6. Add the email addresses of the "secondshift" digest users to this list. See Match Types in the Policy Tab section for more information.
    3. Remove the email addresses of the "secondshift" digest users from the default Quarantine Digest Users list by clicking Quarantine digest users, selecting the check boxes beside the users that are in the "secondshift" quarantine digest users list, and clicking Delete.
    4. Add this new Digest Users list to the Digest Rules by clicking Digest Rules on the sidebar of the Quarantine tab, and clicking +Add below the Digest configurations.

      The Add digest form is displayed.

    5. Fill in the form as follows:
      1. Name: Enter a descriptive name, like "secondshift".
        1. Template: You can use the existing spam digest template /opt/pmx6/etc/digest-spam.tmpl.
        2. Reasons: Enter the appropriate reason, for example, spam.
        3. Address List: From the drop-down list, select the address list that you created in step 2.
        4. Click Save.

          You are returned to the Digest configurations table with the new digest rule appearing in the table.

      2. Set the Scheduler to create the desired quarantine digests by adding another pmx-qdigest scheduled job that uses this command: /opt/pmx64/bin/pmx-qdigest --digest=secondshift --quiet

        And set the schedule for the job as appropriate for the new quarantine digest users list. and give them the acess/permissions that they need to handle the spam mails as needed.

    check the groups and user the members you have with :

    /opt/pmx6/postgres/bin/psql -d pmx_quarantine -c "select * from group_admin;"
     group_admin_id | group_name | user_name
    ----------------+------------+-----------
                  1 | supergroup | superadm1
                  2 | supergroup | superadm2
                  3 | digestshift  | digestshifty

    after that you can check the permissions with pmx-group --view-perm --group digestgrouop1 --user digestadmin1

    and set permissions like that

    pmx-group --set-perm --group <GroupName> --user <Username> --permission <PermissionName> --value <ValueName>

    I hope that this help

    regards
