Darrell,
This would not work with Declude because Declude uses imail1.exe to send out
the notification messages for viruses. All such notifications, instead of
going to the intended recipient, would likewise go to this text file. There
may be other ways in which it might interfere with Declude, but this struck
me as the most obvious.

Or another thought to try is renaming your custom delivery app to
imail1.exe and replacing theirs. Althought I am not sure what else this
would break.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] custom delivery executable? Hey guys, We have
a very non-standard iMail/Declude install. Basically, we only us the
system for the SMTP protocol, as well as virus and spam filtering. Once a
message has passed through those systems, it's delivered to a mailbox as
normal. However, we don't allow POP or IMAP access to our systems.
Instead, we parse the mailboxes when they change, pull out new mail and
insert it into a SQL Server database for access in our web-based CRM.
Messed up, huh? We are looking to skip the whole step of delivering the
mail to a mailbox and then chunking it out. It's not a speed problem, but
rather a reliability concern. Our current solution has about a .1%
failure rate, meaning that some messages are not delivered until the next
message comes along into that folder to knock it out. Ok, here is my
question. I am wondering if there is some way to setup iMail/Declude so
that it delivers a message right to a stand alone file, as apposed to a
mailbox. Qmail, for example, can do this. I doubt there is any out of the
box support for this, so I started investigating using a custom Declude
filter for this.
From the manual:
For more flexibility, you can have Declude JunkMail pass parameters to
your program, using variables. For example, you can set up the test as
'TESTNAME external returnvalue "filename %INOROUT%"', which would send
the %INOROUT% variable as a parameter to your program (which would be
"incoming" for an incoming E-mail, or "outgoing" for an outgoing
E-mail).
Presumably, we could write a custom executable and define a rule for it
in Junkmail. The custom executable would get the entire message body and
just pipe it to a stand-alone file. If the message was later also
delivered to an iMail mailbox, that's fine. However, I think the issue
with that idea is that the filters will not have executed when that
custom executable is called. Accoring to the Declude manaul, the order of
execution is: 1. IMail's Control Access file (to block IPs)
2. IMail's Kill List (to block return addresses)
3. IMail v8 anti-spam (most tests)
4. Declude Virus
5. Declude Hijack
6. Declude JunkMail
7. IMail's filters and extra IMail v8 anti-spam tests
*we want to insert a custom exectuable here Is this even possible, or
should I just start looking as Linux mail systems? -Chase
