be spam.
5.2 Mail file rules
Server-based anti-spam measures address broad spam indicators; they can't
address every individual problem. The mail file rules allow the individual end user
to isolate messages by sender address, domain, subject, or even by message
body content. When creating anti-spam mail file rules with your Notes client, you,
as an end user, can be specific and aggressive when defining the rules.
Attention: Even though the mail file rules are created and managed on the
Notes client for individual end users, they are evaluated and enforced on the
Domino server. There's no way to run mail file rules in the Notes Client.
Mail file rules are used to control incoming e-mail messages. In addition to
helping prevent spam, mail file rules can be used to manage your legitimate
e-mail messages. In this section, we concentrate on anti-spam mail file rule
development.
