The test works as an internal test and not as an external test. The main
difference being the location of the exit code. See external is the 1st
variable whereas the internal it is the 2nd variable and the NONZERO does
not work for that.

 

SNIFFER                               external               nonzero
"C:\Smartermail\Declude\Sniffer\xxxxxxx.exe xxxabc123xxxx"                12
0

SNIFFER-TRAVEL              SNF                        x
47
12           0

 

Also even though there are multiple entries the test only runs once and the
resulted exit code is the triggered.

Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Sniffer Integration -> Global Exit Code
"nonzero"?

 

Hi Dave,

 

Thanks for taking the time to explain it. I see that the sample on your web
site has already been corrected to read "IPREPUTATION    SNFIPREP " and I
was simply working off an earlier copy.

 

For the "SNF" test type, is there a way to have a "global" match (e.g.,
NONZERO), instead of having to specify each of the 18 (current) return codes
one at a time? The external Sniffer simply allow me to code:

 

                SNIFFER               external               nonzero
"D:\IMAIL\Declude\SNF\SNFClient.exe"            10           0

 

Best Regards,

Andy

SNFIPBLACK      SNFIP       the 2nd variable value is 5 = Block and works as
an exit code.

 

IPREPUTATION works differently.

 

Note: IPREPUTATION    SNFIP  please update this to IPREPUTATION    SNFIPREP
x   0   10  -5 this should be the default.

 

SNFIPREP  represents a scale of   -1----- 0 ----- 1  when the 2nd variable
(BASEPOINT) is set to 0 this will convert the IP reputation to this scale as
the examples below:

 

If final score is 0 no score is added to the email

dec0430.log        1842       04/30/2010 00:01:20.700 49319588 SNFIPRep the
Value of Result = 0.000000

 

If final score is + the 3rd variable score is used in this case 10

dec0430.log        7351       04/30/2010 00:07:14.043 49319625 SNFIPRep the
Value of Result = 0.267262

 

If final score is - the 4th variable score is used in this case -5

dec0430.log        11926    04/30/2010 00:08:50.340 49319647 SNFIPRep the
Value of Result = -0.267262

 

The BASEPOINT is the point value at which an email will be considered "Good"
if the result is to the left or "Bad" if to the right.

 

(SNIFFER RETURN) x 10 - (BASEPOINT) = Result

 

Example:

 

0.267262  x 10 - 0 = 2 This is positive then the test is triggered for 10
points.

0.267262  x 10 - 1 = 1 This is positive then the test is triggered for 10
points.

0.267262  x 10 - 2 = 0 Not Triggered.

0.267262  x 10 - 3 = -1 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for
-5 points.

0.267262  x 10 - 4 = -2 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for
-5 points.

 

-0.267262  x 10 - 0 = -2 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for
-5 points.

-0.267262  x 10 - 1 = -1 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for
-5 points.

-0.267262  x 10 - 2 = 0 Not Triggered.

-0.267262  x 10 - 3 = -1 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for
-5 points.

-0.267262  x 10 - 4 = -2 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for
-5 points.

Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Sniffer Integration

 

Hi,

 

1.       I'm confused about the Sniffer integration sample:

 

SNFIPBLACK      SNFIP           x               5               10      0

IPREPUTATION    SNFIP           x               5               10      -5


It seems to me as if BOTH lines test the SAME Sniffer return code of "5" -
but one line assigns adds a weight of 10 when found, the other also adds a
weight of 10, but subtracts 5 when NOT found?

 

So will this add "20" when found? Why use TWO lines to accomplish that?

 

2.       In the past I could simply configure:

 

SNIFFER               external               nonzero
"D:\IMAIL\Declude\SNF\SNFClient.exe"            10           0

 

if I didn't want to duplicate 18 lines - and risk that at some point a
return code will be added that I will miss unless I add another line to the
config file.

 

So, does the "SNF" test have some way to configure ONE line for "nonzero" to
create a baseline weight, and then just add "SNF" tests for specific return
code if I want those specific ones treated with a higher weight?

 

Best Regards,

Andy
