• mail from / from reason

    By thomas kuhn 2 decades ago

    i have a question in regards to what kspam has in its KS_REASON field :

    i have a rule in the config that denys "from contains : mydomain.com" with copy & deny action.



    this results in 2 types of ks_reason field content

    • mail from : mydomain.com
    • from : mydomain.com



      what is the difference, what does it tell me ?

      Hi,

      there is a difference, in one case the rule matches the "SMTPOriginator" field, in the other one the "From" field.

      The smtp protocol allows to input two values:

      "mail from:" and "from:"



      They are both scanned.



      Best regards.
