Server Side Filters
Server Side Message Filtering can be used by any program supporting the SIEVE protocol
NOTE: Computerisms has Server Side Filtering disabled by default, please contact us to enable it
Enabling this feature will disable the ability to do forwarding and autoreplies in Qmailadmin
Qmailadmin is easier to use, Server Side Filtering provides more features and control
The Sieve Protocol is a platform independent method of filtering your mail
This is commonly done using "Message Rules" or similar on email clients such as Thunderbird and Outlook, but your program needs to download the messages in order to filter them
In this case, the server does the filtering so it can drop the mail in the correct folder before your email client knows it is there
Sieve Protocol also allows for other features, such as Out of Office replies, forwarding, and copying.
Be sure to include rules pertaining to BULK mail if you subscribe to mailing lists and want to use Out of Office replies
RoundCube can be used to implement Server Side Filters
SquirrelMail also supports Server Side Filtering, just click on the coffee filter icon after you log in
