Gotcha.  Thanks, Matt.
 
I have another one:  Adding a line to record sender IP/hostname to the log.  Could be useful both for log reports and for building our own sender lists.
 
 
Also, I've been thinking of some additional tests and considering writing some external tests where needed.
 
1.  If sender address is an ISP (requires a lookup from a known ISP) and from address is another ISP (also determined from a lookup), then fail the test.  Could help identify forging spam.  Main task here is really just building the list of known ISPs.
 
2.  If domain is newly registered (configurable), fail the test.  Could help identify spammers who constantly are registering new domains.  I think I remember this idea being discussed on the list within the past couple of months, but I don't know if anyone has implemented anything.
 
3.  if sender name matches first part of email address (e.g. sender is joe [x.x.x.x], while recipient email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]) then fail the test.  Could help idenify forging spam.
 
 
Lastly, what are people using for honeypots?  I'm assuming most are using program aliases in IMail to extract the info from the emails to build blacklists.  Are there any existing solutions to this or is everyone building them from scratch each time?  I'd be interested in putting together an IMail/SQL Server/DNS-BL system.
 
Thoughts?

Darin.

That was moved in a recent interim release.

I'd like to have the Last Action line in the log moved from LOGLEVEL HIGH to LOGLEVEL MID to reduce the size of logs but still have an easy indicator as to what was done with the message.  Would help greatly with log parsing at MID level, I think.
 
Anyone agree or disagree with this?
