Thanks for that Scott! One more question, In the event we want to reject an email that fails the SPF test for a SPF participating domain, is Declude able to reject incoming emails before receiving the message body? IE terminate the SMTP connection?

The latest beta version (1.78) and recent interims have the SPF support. --- For those that are interested, we now have an interim release with SPF support in it. [interim information removed] To use the new SPF test, you can add lines such as: SPFPASS spf pass x -5 0 SPFFAIL spf fail x 8 0 to your global.cfg file. SPF returns "PASS" for E-mail that passes SPF (that comes from an IP that is acceptable to the owner of the domani that it claims to be coming from), "FAIL" for E-mail that fails SPF (that does not come from an acceptable IP for the domain), or "UNKNOWN" (for E-mail from domains that do not use SPF yet, or for some other reason should return UNKNOWN). This will help reduce false positives (for domains that have SPF support), and help capture more spam (as spam comes in from domains that have SPF support, but the spammer isn't using an acceptable IP). --- -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
