Lotus Notes Mail rules overview
Lotus Notes Mail rules allow you to create content filtering rules that define actions to take on certain messages based on their content. For example, you could reject mail that contains certain words or is from a specific domain.
Server mail rules are configured by the Domino administrator and are stored in the Domino Directory. User level mail rules are also supported and are stored in user’s mail files and configured by each individual user. This section will focus specifically on server mail rules.
Mail rules are not designed specifically for battling spam but are more of a general purpose tool for handling mail. Mail rules are one of the least effective means of controlling spam. Due to the huge volume of spam being generated, and the endless sources and methods used to send it, it’s extremely difficult, if not impossible, to filter out spam based on rules that you must maintain yourself. However, there may be specific situations where mail rules might prove useful to you.
