Hi Mike. Yes, those tests are used in Declude, but not at the smtp level. Declude does not do smtp level scanning. The best way to use Declude and SM together is to set up those 4 blacklists at the SM smtp level scanning and use the global.cfg in Declude as is.

Is that an efficient synergy? Whats the best way to use SmarterMail and Delcude together? - Michael Cummins From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Linda Pagillo Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2013 8:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MBF]Re: whitelist problem Hey guys. Here is what I normally do when setting up checks at SMs smtp level. In the Spam Checks area, I add 4 blacklists and give them each a weight of 10. The lists I use are SORBS, SPAMCOP, BARRACUDA and ZEN. Then in the SMTP Blocking area, I set my Incoming Weight Threshold to 30 and put a check in the Enabled box. This means that an incoming connection has to trigger at least 3 out of the 4 lists to be dropped at the SMTP level. This has always worked very well for me. I agree that you should never drop connections or reject email based on one test. I hope this helps.

If something is checked then email will be rejected based on triggering that one test. Thats a bad idea and you will rejecting a LOT email, both spam and non-spam. No single test in 100% right. What you are looking to do is run a series of tests/filters that in combination help you determine the likelihood that an email is spam and give it a weight. You then have several action you can perform on an email once it has been given a weight. The options and weights are on the Filtering tab in the same Security section David directed you to.

What you are seeing is your mail server blocking the mail, in SM its a setting under SecurityàAntispam Administration à Enable for Incoming SMTP blocking It is not recommended that you block on 1 RBL only.

In general Declude does not block at the smtp level but gives weight to email after it has been received by your email server and handed over to Declude for testing.
