The Mail filter bypass rules were described under the Antispam section only, while a message that matches a rule also skips the antivirus scan. With NethServer/ns8-mail#322, sender rules also match the "From" header of the message, not only the envelope sender. NethServer/dev#8060

Bypass rules now have their own subsection of the Filter chapter, linked from the Filter intro and the Antivirus section. The page warns that a bypassed message is delivered even if it contains a virus, and gives advice on which senders to add, since sender addresses are easy to forge. Block lists still match the envelope sender only, and the page says so.

  • English and Italian pages updated together
  • New anchor #bypass-rules

How to test

  • Check the PR preview: Mail > Filter > Bypass rules, in English and Italian
  • yarn build passes with no broken links or anchors

Preview will be ready when the GitHub Pages deployment is complete.

Bypass rules skip both the antivirus and the antispam checks, but they
were described under Antispam only, and the Antivirus section said that
infected messages are always discarded.

Describe the bypass rules in their own Filter subsection, as a temporary
workaround for exceptional cases, and warn that a matching message is
not scanned for viruses. Align the sender rules with the Mail module
change: they now match the envelope sender and the "From" header. Block
lists still match the envelope sender only.

Keep a link to the Rspamd web interface in the Antispam section.
