PureMessage for UNIX - Content based filtering

WolfgangK

Hi all,

I'm using PMX 5.5 for Unix. I want to create a policy rule to block mails containing phrases from a custom list - pretty the same functionality as with the offensive words list. Maybe I'm a bit confused but I can't manage it to work...

I thought pmx_phrase will be the right one but it seems I can't use a list but only a word, phrase or regex as value.

Any ideas?

    Hi,

    The content based scanning does work in similar fashion to the offensive word rules.  Can you provide us with samples of your policy rule and the contents of your custom list. 

    Also what match type for your custom list did you select when creating it in the Manager.  This will also determine how the policy matches the contents.

    I've created a List as followed:

    Name: "My Content Filter"

    ID: "my-content-filter"

    Match Type: "Glob"

    The List contains an Entry named "*meta*honig*kuchen*killer*".

    Then I've created the following rule:

     
    # attr NAME=My Content Filter
if pmx_phrase :matches ["my-content-filter"] {
    pmx_mark1 "*MyContentFilter*";
    pmx_replace_header :index 0 "x-MyContentFilter" "matched";
}

    When I test the policy via "Test Current Policy" I can see the rule is triggered but always returns false. Each mail I've tested contained one of the following terms within it's body:

    Meta Honigkuchen Killer

    meta test honigkuchen _test_ killer

    meta-honig-kuchen-killer

    meta*honig*kuchen*killer

    *meta*honig*kuchen*killer*

    But the message only matched when I used "my-content-filter" within the body part. I've also tested ":contains" and ":memberof" instead of ":matches".

    Don't know what I did wrong but now it works with ":memberof"

    The only differce:

    I've inserted the policy via vim and not via web GUI... I'm confused. Thanks for everybody spent time on this issue!
