Automatically Delete emails which are black listed

The default functionality of SpamSentinel is to treat email which matches one of the Black List entries as Spam category C.  Such messages will end up in the standard Quarantine and be included in the end users' daily Quarantined Spam Report.  Some administrators prefer to have any emails they have black listed to instead be deleted.

The solution is to use a Formula After which deletes the Recipients field.  This will allow the Domino Mail Router to cleanly remove the message from mail.box.

The following block types share the same value written to the field SpamSentinelMsgType2 and therefore we can't differentiate between them in the formula.  This is usually not a problem.

Therefore, use the following formula in a Formula After and adjust the syntax if needed:

Select SpamSentinelMsgType2 = "Blocked Domain":"Blocked Email Address":"Blocked Subject";

Field Recipients := @DeleteField

Alternately, if you already have a Formula After which uses a 'Select @All' you can insert just the following line of formula.

Field Recipients := @IF(SpamSentinelMsgType2 = "Blocked Domain":"Blocked Email Address":"Blocked Subject"; @DeleteField; Recipients);

The Domino Router will then simply throw a warning and delete the message from mail.box.  We have been doing a similar deletion using the 'no recipients' technique at a large customer for a long time with no ill effects
