1) IMail anti-virus scanning
2) IMail connection/DNS based anti-spam tests.
3) IMail hands-off to 'Delivery Application (default smtp32.exe or 3rd
party add-on such as mxGuard).
4) IMail smtp32.exe hands message to IMail queue manager
5) IMail contecnt based anti-spam tests.
6) IMail delivery rules
7) IMail delivers message to mailbox or internet.
If using mxGuard, once it receives the message from IMail (step3) it
will first do Antivirus scans then Antispam tests. The order of these
tests is determined by the order they are listed in the INI file. For
example, If you want native tests to run first, then invURIBL tests and
finally MessageSniffer, you would confiugre the INI file as follows:
[Global]
SpamFilterTypes=Native, invURIBL, Sniffer
Once mxGuard is finished scanning the message it will hand it off to
IMail or another 3rd party add-on (configured in the mxgaurd.ini file).
Hope that helps. Feel free to contact me off-line for additional
information.
Thank you, David. Very informative.
