| Mail Filter |

| To add an e-mail filter: |
|
 |
Click on the E-mail Filtering link in the Mail area. |
|
Click on the Add Filter link. |
|
Click on the required header field in the first drop-down list. These are the various fields in any e-mail message. |
|
Click on the required filter action in the second drop-down list. This action will act on the text entered in the third field. |
|
Equals - match the text exactly (whole words only). "Credit" will block "Credit". |
|
matches regex - matches the text based on regular expression (regex) rules. Regular expressions are a powerful but complex area. You do not need to use regular expression filters for most circumstances. Refer to these two good introductory tutorials - Using Regular Expressions and Learning to Use Regular Expressions - for more information. |
|
contains - match the specified text in any circumstance. "porn" will block "porn" and "pornography". |
|
begins with - match the specified text when it is the beginning of a word. "porn" will block "porn" and "pornography" but not "teenporn". |
|
Enter the filter text in the third field. This text is case sensitive. |
|
Enter the destination for the filtered e-mail in the Destination field. There are three separate types of destination: |
|
Destroy the e-mail - Enter Discard in the field. |
|
Redirect to another address - Enter the e-mail address to which to redirect the e-mail. |
|
Redirect to a script - Enter the full script path on the machine that hosts your web site. |
|
Click on the Activate button.
