RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Whitelister / Blacklister

[Dan Horne]

I'm curious about this test.  If I am a user and I am unable to receive an email from the person I would like to whitelist, how can I attach a message from that person?  Does this work with messages from Declude's ATTACH action?  Should the ATTACH message be forwarded inline with the original attachment or as an attachment within an attachment?  What about security?  If the whitelist email address shows up in a spammer's database, will it whitelist all messages from the spammer?   I'd like to see a similar whitelisting tool that could take a command similar to the way Imail's list-server works.  I could not only send attached emails to it in the described manner, but I could also send it a command in the body of the email such as "[PASSWORD] ADD [EMAIL PROTECTED]" where the password is configurable.  If sent to the whitelist email address AND the password matches the configured password, add that address to the whitelist.  The test would search for any instance of [PASSWORD] in the body, and if found would look for the ADD command after it (or other commands if any).  If it finds that, it adds the email address that follows to the whitelist file.   On the blacklist side, I'd like the ability to turn on a "honeypot" mode that would add the sender IP of ANY email sent to it (for spamtraps).

Chandler Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 8:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Whitelister / Blacklister Hi everyone,   I wrote a program we have been using at my company successfully for a while now.  They are two visual basic executables – a whitelister and a blacklister.  To add a new whitelisted user to a whitelist file, one must simply set up a program alias and send an e-mail with an e-mail from the user attached, or the header info from the e-mail.  I use Outlook and I simply send the e-mails as attachments to a new e-mail. The program parses the e-mail, skips the first from user name (yours obviously), and then processes all attachments for more from e-mail addresses, up to 25.  For blacklisting, it parses the sender’s ip and adds to a blacklist.  It is very convenient.  Anybody interested in these programs?  I could have Scott post them to the free web tools if anyone wants them…   Tim
