First, I know this is an old version, SmarterMail 5.5 Enterprise, but it has been very solid for a long time and still need to resolve the problem with spam from the new .junk/.crap domains that are pumping out nothing but...

 

I have a domain 'Junk' content filter with a list of spam domains (matches) and an 'or' list of spam keywords (contains), In the actions, I have tried; delete (which works alone), delete and copy to a 'spamtrap@ourdomain' address (deletes/doesn't copy), move to a folder (doesn't move but says it does), and reroute the email to the 'spamtrap@ourdomain' (does not re-route but says it does).

 

The log clearly shows:

11:44:30 [07382] Starting local delivery to recipient@ourdomain.com
11:44:30 [07382] Delivery for spammer@theirdomain.com to recipient@ourdomain.com has completed (Forwarded) Filter: General Junk
11:44:30 [07382] End delivery to recipient@ourdomain.com
11:44:33 [07382] Starting local delivery to spamtrap@ourdomain.com
11:44:33 [07382] Delivery for spammer@theirdomain.com to spamtrap@ourdomain.com has completed (Forwarded) Filter: General Junk
11:44:33 [07382] End delivery to spamtrap@ourdomain.com
11:44:33 [07382] Delivery finished for spammer@theirdomain.com at 11:44:33 AM    [id:79907382]

 

Any action I try shows in the logs as completed but the trapped/rerouted/copied spam mail doesn't appear in the target mailbox. Oddly, at last count, 3 out 137 spams showed up, so it is setup properly but from what I see in the logs, the vast majority of the spam mail just disappears.  I have checked for conflicting rules and don't see the issue. I want to ID and trap the bulk of the spam to use for future filtering, not just delete them.

 

Any ideas why this might be happening?
