Admin Panel Spam Filters: Filtering Message Body for Keywords?
Hello All,
**Question: Is there a way to use [Spam filters] (or any other setting in the GUI admin panel) to filter for keywords in the body of the incoming email message?**
Looking for help on use of the "[Spam filters]" option under "Privacy
Options...".
My situation is that I don't have access to the back-end to set up any
more sophisticated filters (Dream Host) so I need to ONLY utilize tools
available through the web GUI administrative panel.
Online examples of how to do this are strangely hard to find, other than
discussions of how to look at headers for spam filter scores.
Somehow, a few months ago, I managed to find this example of how to
filter an email subject line:
\nSubject: .*Jerusalem.*
Which we then Hold for moderation.
I would like to do the exact same thing for the body of the email
message -- filter the message body for keywords.
Something like:
\nBody: .*Jerusalem.*
**Question: Is there a way to use [Spam filters] (or any other setting
in the GUI admin panel) to filter for keywords in the body of the
incoming email message?**
Our use case is that we have a 20+ year tradition of allowing polite and
respectful political discussion, but need to hold for moderation all
messages on the Middle East situation due to it just being too
explosively emotional for even psychotherapists to keep their sh*t together.
Thanks for any and all help!

No. Those only filter against message headers, not the message body.
To filter based on the message body requires a custom handler. There is a FAQ artile at https://wiki.list.org/x/4030615 that discusses this, but

implementing a custom handler requires more access than you have.

In the GUI see Privacy options... -> Spam filters -> Details for header_filter_rules if you haven't already.
