Hello Chris, thanks for the shoutout. Yes, I still sell AutoWhite for Declude and yes it will work with Smartermail but though a manual registry trick. It is not suitable for ISPs or enviornments with a large number of mailboxes or with a lot of turnover in mailboxes.

Autowhite.exe would know if the recipient has previously sent email to the sender and this condition could be used to skip the hold (though I've not used autowhite.exe on SmarterMail). TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS AUTOWHITE1 John T, does autowhite.exe work with SmarterMail and do you still sell licenses for autowhite.exe? I too would appreciate Gauntlet for iMail. - Chris *Midtown Micro, Inc.* Programming & Web Hosting Office: (916) 442-2447 Fax: (916) 669-9473 Technical Support: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Calendar: http://www.midtownmicro.com/calendar/chris(Updated Daily) vCard: http://www.midtownmicro.com/vcard/chris Web: http://www.midtownmicro.com On 10/30/2014 10:20 PM, David Barker wrote: > True but the complaints were very few and were only in the beginning > of our testing, we have improved the Gauntlet filter to target > messages that look like pre-tested spam, to reduce delaying good > email.
