My Andrew Email Filter Tool

Mail Filtering & Vacation Tool

provides a new interface for accessing vacation notices and user-created Sieve scripts

allows Cyrus email users to filter out junk mail and spam using a new automatic filter

uses SpamAssassin, a popular email filtering tool

Changes on MyAndrew The navigation links

have changed from "Away notification" and "Sieve email filtering" to one link, "Mail filtering and Vacation".

Changes on MyAndrew The old vacation tool has

been combined with the automatic spam filter.

They use the same script, so that both can be enabled at once.

Because the spam filter acts first, mail filed into the spam mailbox will not receive a vacation reply.

Changes on MyAndrew If you have an old

vacation script and want to enable or disable it, you can still access it by viewing the whole list of your scripts under "Advanced Use".

Vacation Changes Can I still save multiple vacation notices to use

later? Yes; you can make duplicate copies of your

DefaultFilter and edit the vacation section by hand.

How come I can’t use my old vacation notices? You can, but you can’t use the old vacation interface

to edit them anymore. You will have to edit them by hand.
