The great spam-off, part 2

MailEssentials has been running for the last week or so. After a little experimentation, I discovered that it wasn’t catching spam because I’m an idiot. I hadn’t specified any SMTP domains as inbound, so ME was looking for spam sent to *@robichaux.local– since robichaux.net and 3sharp.com are the domains I use, it wasn’t catching anything. After I fixed that, it began behaving as expected. However, its lack of a way to add subject tags to indicate spam means that I have to route all suspected spam to a public folder– where E2K turns it into an IPM.Post item, so it loses its original addressee information. Redirecting all the spam to a single mailbox works, but that raises the question of how to redirect it; the only way I can see to do it is with a script that adds a spam tag to the subject and redirects the message. That’s more trouble than I’m willing to go to for this product. In GFI’s favor, their product installs and uninstalls cleanly, it’s stable, and it has good documentation. However, it’s time to try something else.
UPDATE: GFI support confirms that their product doesn’t allow subject rewriting, and they’re not likely to add it.
