This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hello Folks,

I am tring to find a way to exclude a particular email address from being captured in CA Randoming sampling.

I have tried Configuration --> Settings --> Random Capture --> Exclude items with this text in subject, but it doesn't seems to be working.

In the above option i have specified the exact subject like as the email i want to be excluded (without quotes), this email is a system generated by our spam filter with a specific subject line.. (xxx xxx - IronPort Spam Qurantine Notification). Also i restarted EVAMS after this modification.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Satya

This might be your issue:

Subject line exclusions no longer work in Compliance Accelerator 10.0

If you have multiple items you need excluded you could look at Custom Filtering or DCS.

With Custom Filtering you could choose to not even archive those items.

Can you attach your custom filtering rules?  Also, do you see any events in the EV App log?

Also, have you seen this?

This is what i have in my 'Filter Rules.xml' file. Is this file name correct or it should be 'Custom Filter Rules.xml'?

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<RULE_SET xmlns="x-schema:ruleset schema.xdr">
 <!--This rule will hard delete items that match the subject criteria below -->

 <!--
 <RULE NAME="HardDeleteJournalItems" ACTION="HARD_DELETE">
  <SUBJECTS INCLUDES="ANY">
   <SUBJ MATCH="CONTAINS">Out of Office Autoreply</SUBJ>
   <SUBJ MATCH="CONTAINS">IronPort Spam Quarantine Notification</SUBJ>
  </SUBJECTS>
 </RULE>
 -->

It should be called Default Filter Rules.xml

You can review the relevant TN's

I don't believe this  --> should be there above </RULE_SET>.

So like this

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RULE_SET xmlns="x-schema:ruleset schema.xdr">

 
 <!--This rule will hard delete items that match the subject criteria below -->

 <RULE NAME="HardDeleteJournalItems" ACTION="HARD_DELETE">
  <SUBJECTS INCLUDES="ANY">
   <SUBJ MATCH="CONTAINS">IronPort Spam Quarantine Notification</SUBJ>
   <SUBJ MATCH="CONTAINS">Undeliverable</SUBJ>
  </SUBJECTS>
 </RULE>

</RULE_SET>

Thanks Tony! That was it i had to remove <!-- and --> and restarted JC and didn't get error anymore.

Next thing is to validate if this works and doesn't samples the notification email anymore.

This is after correction!

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RULE_SET xmlns="x-schema:ruleset schema.xdr">

<!--This rule will hard delete items that match the subject criteria below -->

<RULE NAME="HardDeleteJournalItems" ACTION="HARD_DELETE">
<SUBJECTS INCLUDES="ANY">
<SUBJ MATCH="CONTAINS">IronPort Spam Quarantine Notification</SUBJ>
<SUBJ MATCH="CONTAINS">Undeliverable</SUBJ>
</SUBJECTS>
</RULE>

</RULE_SET>
