11-20 Electronic Mail
You can also include a confidence rating in the text portion of this
tag. A confidence rating provides a percentage rating, indicating
the likelihood that the email is spam using the Authority’s numerical
spam confidence rating system. To include the confidence rating
in this tag, add the string %p%% within the text brackets,
following the colon (you must include a space between the colon
and the string), as shown in the example below. At run time, the
%p portion of this option is replaced with the specified threshold
value and the %% portion is translated to a single % sign.
The following is an example of a TAG action that will include the tag
“SPAM” at the beginning of the subject line:
threshold=**%;action=TAG;config=[target=subject;
action=prefix;text=[SPAM: %p%%]]
If you want to redirect mail from your mailbox to a different
destination, you need to place a .forward file either in a user’s home
directory or in the /root directory of where you want the mail sent
from. The following sections provide information on how to create
.forward files on the Sidewinder G2. (For additional information on
.forward files see Chapter 19 in the UNIX System Administration
Handbook.)
Creating a .forward file in a user’s home directory
This section describes how to create a .forward file in a user’s home
directory. Follow the steps below.
1. At a Sidewinder G2 command prompt, log in to the Sidewinder G2
using your administrator user ID and password.
2. Enter the following command to switch to the admn role:
srole
3. Enter the following command to change to the /home/username
directory (where username is a variable dependent on the user’s login).
cd /home/username
4. Use a text editor to create a new file called .forward.
Note: If you are not familiar with vi, emacs, or pico, SCC recommends using the File
Editor in the Admin Console as your text editor. See “Using the Admin Console File
Editor” on page 2-12.
