Explicit SPAM Exception against CRM Integration

[Shivbala]

Looking for possibilities where I can integrate Ironport SPAM filtering against our CRM portals such as Zoho, Freshworks, salesforce etc to whitelist our customers emails against SPAM filtering policy.

Any inputs?

If the goal is to target emails coming from CRM platforms and allow them to bypass the Anti-SPAM, you'll need to use a Message Filter as this occurs before the IPAS in the mail flow path. I setup a similar filter last year that allows select salesforce.com emails to bypass the Anti-SPAM engine. Typically with CRM or mass mailing platforms (ie: sendgrid.net), the envelope sender will contain a client ID which is represented in the form of a series of numbers. For example; "Client_ID"=domain@salesforce.com 3242325=domain.com@salesforce.com The client ID can be used as the identifiable condition. If you have many entries, you can use a dictionary combined with regex to get the best results. Here's some sample regex that would work. SPAMBYPASS_Sendgrid if (mail-from ="(?=\b789458\b)(?=.*(?i)sendgrid.net$)") Another condition option if you want to use dictionaries. SPAMBYPASS_Salesforce: if ((mail-from-dictionary-match("Salesforce_Senders", 1)) AND (mail-from == "(?i)salesforce\\.com$")) OR (mail-from-dictionary-match("Salesforce_Hosts", 1)) The actions will be the same. { skip-spamcheck(); log-entry("$FilterName"); skip-filters(); }
