Sieve rule for whitelisting domains after spam processing
Hello,
My mail server has a global Sieve rule defined in sieve_before to file messages classified as spam by spamassassin into the Spam folder:
require ["regex", "fileinto", "imap4flags"];
if allof (header :regex "X-Spam-Status" "^Yes") {
fileinto "Spam";
}
This works great, except I'd like the ability to whitelist certain senders or domains whose emails end up in Spam, usually due to a misconfigured SPF DNS TXT record or something like that. I use Roundcube as my Webmail client, so the easiest way to whitelist would be to create a rule for each domain directly in Roundcube using its built-in Sieve integration to move legitimate messages out of the Spam folder. I already have several rules set up to flag and sort non-spam messages, and they're working fine. I therefore tried adding a simple rule to move Spam into the Inbox:
# rule:[Not Spam]
if allof (header :contains "from" "user@good-domain.com")
{
fileinto "INBOX";
}
However, the above rule does not work as I expected. When I receive an email from good-domain.com that's classified as Spam by spamassassin, the global rule sends it to the Spam folder and it is not re-filed into the Inbox. The second rule doesn't seem to do anything. I'm probably doing something simple wrong, but I can't figure out what (I'm a Sieve newb). Any suggestions please?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
Can you post your full global sieve and RC sieve script?
It could be due to the order of if statements or the structure having to be in if and elseif instead of if else and use anyof instead of allof and if email is by default is going to INBOX, then just call command keep; in either at the top of if statement if the order of specific domain exclusion matters.
Otherwise in each if condition try to use stop; command.
Zakaria.
