Delete or recall spam from all Notes user mailboxes

Is it possible to select a spam message in a user's IBM Notes mailbox which can be deleted or recalled from all user mailboxes?

 

The spam filters in my customer's Domino environment does not detect every spam message at 100% accuracy, so obviously the users are receiving phishing and malware spam.  This can lead to total network infection especially if one of those users has a high level Windows admin account.  

 

I couldn't find a feature natively in the the Domino Administrator client, and I was unsuccessful searching the IBM developerWorks Domino forums and wikis for a solution.

 

My customers are using various spam solutions as seen below, but I still need a way to "search & destroy" spam from all user mailboxes. :)  Thanks in advance.

 

FYI

• IBM Lotus Protector for Mail Security (LPMS)
• Symantec Mail Security for Domino (SMS)
• Trend Micro ScanMail Suite for IBM Domino
• SpamSentinel for Domino
• Trend Micro Hosted Email Security
• Symantec Messaging Gateway
• Apache SpamAssassin
• Clearswift MailSweeper
• Cisco Email Security

Hi Carl Tyler

1.  There are no posts on this forum which can remove spam from all Notes user mailboxes, hence, the reason for my post.

 

2  This should be a native feature of the Domino message system.  However, it is just another reason to migrate to a new message system.  I am trying to keep customers on Domino, not migrate away.  Exchange requires the admin to use PowerShell, so we are ahead of the game if there is an easy solution for a basic Domino admin or non-technical IT help desk user.

 

3.  Basic message recall was available since Exchange 98, but Domino didn't implement until Release 8 in August 2007 which was disapointing to wait so long for such a basic feature.
