Components

OX UI Plugin

The UI plugin extends the OX settings tree with a new subtree to access the "Antispam" management WEB UI of Spamexperts.com

OX Backend Plugin

The backend plugin consists of a servlet which can create an authentication ticket for the currently active OX user by using the Spamexperts.com API and then sends the ticket back to the UI plugin which will do the redirect to the external Spamexperts.com management WEB UI.

Configuration

You need to adapt the settings in /opt/open-xchange/etc/spamexperts.properties

Settings can be separated in two sections:

SpamExperts UI integration

Define your custom parameters in order to integrate your branded SpamExperts UI into Open-Xchange

SpamExperts SPAM/HAM learning integration

Note: This requires backend version 7.6.0 or newer.

Configure you personal parameters to access the SpamExperts IMAP server in order to use the SPAM/HAM learning mechanism.

In addition, you have to tell the Open-Xchange mail backend what spamhandler to use for SPAM/HAM learning. This must be done in the configuration file /opt/open-xchange/etc/imap.properties. You have to set

com.openexchange.imap.spamHandler=SpamExperts

exactly like this, or the SPAM/HAM learning mechanism will not work.

Provisioning

Note: This requires backend version 7.6.0 or newer.

In order to activate SPAM/HAM learning in OX Webmail, you have to turn that on for the users by using one of the following ways:

• using create- or changeuser, provide the option --gui_spam_filter_capabilities_enabled true or
• setting com.openexchange.spamhandler.enabled to true via ConfigCascade

In order to add the spamexperts link to OX Webmail, provide the option --capabilities-to-add com.spamexperts
