A Declude external test uses filtering logic outside Declude: it sends raw envelope and/or header data to a separate filtering system from Declude and returns the results to Declude so that they may be aggregated with the results of Declude's internal tests and other externals to create an overall weight. SPAMC32 is a Declude external test: it talks to a remote SpamAssassin SPAMD server and returns the results to Declude, with a sizable set of command-line options to reduce resource utilization. The overall bandwidth used by SPAMC32 + SPAMD in combination is essentially half that of a dedicated SpamAssassin server, since the message body need only be "vectored" in one direction from SPAMC32 to SPAMD and the numeric results returned -- as opposed to being transmitted completely to the SpamAssassin server, tagged, and then transmitted completely to Declude. A Declude _filter_ can scan the header of an incoming messages to check for inserted x- headers from earlier hops in your mail server farm. This is not an external test, but it can check for headers added by SpamAssassin or from any other preprocessor. As developer of SPAMC32, of course I endorse it! However, I understand that people have other reasons that make a non-integrated SpamAssassin equally viable (such as multiple *nix-based stages in their mailflow). --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
