Navigation:  Rules > Actions

Actions define what to do with messages that fulfill certain conditions. You can combine rules to achieve multiple actions, like forwarding to more than one address. Here's a list of all available actions:

 

Insert [specified text] at the start of the subject

This action changes the subject in the specified way and appends the old subject in brackets.

 

Set priority to [specified value]

This action changes the priority of the message to the specified value.

 

Replace sender's address with [specified recipient]

POP3/IMAP's email address will be used as new sender address

 

Replace [specified text] in message body

Replaces a text with another text in the content of an email

 

Send copy to [specified recipient]

This action sends a copy of the message to a specified mail address. If the appropriate option is checked, a copy will not be sent to the original SMTP account (Reroute).

 

Send auto reply to sender with following text: [specified text]

You can send a reply to the senders address.

 

Save mail to [specified destination path]

Saves the mail to the specified folder as *.EML file in MIME format.

 

Save attachments to [specified destination path]

Saves only the attachments of the mail to the specified folder. It gives, additionally, the option to create a folder for each recipient or sender.

 

Train Bayes with message as [Spam/Ham]

Use this action for accounts to automatically train the Bayes filter or set up a honey pot account.

Take care: the default setting of this condition is not to deliver (delete) the message after training the Bayes.

It makes no sense to use this action in combination with the messages declared as Spam condition. It is only for training undetected spam.

For an example on how to use the "train Bayes" action have a look at Spam Filter chapter.

 

Add sender addresses to the Black-/Whitelist

Adds all sender addresses to the auto-blacklist or auto-whitelist. (The auto lists are separate lists. So entries on that lists are not shown in the spam settings lists)

 

Send copy to [specified SMTP server]

This action sends a copy of the message to a specified SMTP server. Username and password can also be entered if that server needs authentication.

 

Extract ZIP archives in message

Extracts all Zip archives in the message. The files from the .ZIP archive are afterwards usual attachments.

 

Forward without Attachment

This deletes all attachments from the message.

 

Execute [file]

This action executes a specified file. This file must not prompt any user interaction or display any graphical user interface (GUI). GUI's will not be displayed. The path to the current mail can be passed if the mail was saved by SmartPOP2Exchange before. (e.g. the backup function is used or a rule which saved the message)

 

Do not apply other rules

Prevents, that SmartPOP2Exchange will apply any other rule after  the current one to the message.

 

Do not deliver message

This action should be the last action of a rule. Using further actions and rules after this action makes no sense. The mail will be deleted from the server without delivery.

 

 

Take note of the order of the actions. The actions are applied in the same order as they are displayed under point 5 in the dialog.

 

Please be careful with the "Delete" action. This should be the last action in the last rule, because after deleting a message SmartPOP2Exchange can't apply any other action to it.
