Hi, You should follow the guide lines from MessageSniffer using a program alias to update the rule base. This would trigger your server to download the new rulebase at the time their available.
Step one: ========= Copy all files from this distribution into your "Sniffer" directory. Step two: ========= Edit the "snfupd.cmd" file (this is the rulebase download script). 1. Open the snfupd.cmd file in your Sniffer directory with a text editor like "Notepad". 2. Edit all entries labeled "EDIT NEXT LINE" with your specific configuration information. 3. Save your changes. Step three: =========== Create an IMail "Program Alias" account 1. Open the "IMail Administrator" 2. Select the domain to create the "program alias" account under 3. Click on "Aliases" under the chosen domain 4. Click on the "Add Alias..." button 5. Type in the "Alias ID" for this account (something like: snifferupdate), then click "Next" 6. Select "Program" as the alias type and click "Next" 7. Click "Browse..." and browse to the location of your "sniffer" directory and select "snfupd.cmd", then click "Next" 8. Click "Finish" and you're done setting up your Sniffer "Program Alias" account Step four (optional): ===================== Create a "Standard Alias" account (only necessary if you want to receive a copy of the Sniffer update notifications). 1. Open the "IMail Administrator" 2. Select the domain to create the "standard alias" account under 3. Click on "Aliases" under the chosen domain 4. Click on the "Add Alias..." button 5. Type in the "Alias ID" for this account (something like: snfupd), then click "Next" 6. Select "Standard" as the alias type and click "Next" 7. Add the e-mail address that you would like the Sniffer update messages to be forwarded to. Also add the "program alias" address you created in Step Three above. This will send a copy of the update notification to all listed accounts, including the "program alias", which will trigger the new rulebase download. 8. Click "Finish" and you're done setting up your Sniffer "Standard Alias" account Step five: ========== Test the new "program alias" account. 1. If you setup a "standard alias", as defined in "Step four" above, send a test message to your "standard alias" e-mail address. This should trigger a copy of the test message to your e-mail forwarding address and set-off the rulebase download. 2. Check to see that you received a copy of the test message to your forwarding address. 3. Check to see that a rulebase download was triggered (check the timestamp of your rulebase file - you can also view the snfupd.txt file to see the complete status of the update. Also, if you opted to receive the update results via e-mail (via the snfupd.cmd download script), check to see that you received the results e-mail. 4. If you skipped "Step four" above, send a test message to your "program alias" address and check to see if it triggered a rulebase download. Step six: ========= Advise SortMonster of the new e-mail address to send update notifications to. 1. If you created a "standard alias" account as defined in "Step four", send an e-mail to Sniffer Support ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and ask them to send your rulebase update notifications to your "standard alias" e-mail address. 2. If you skipped "Step four" above, ask Sniffer Support to send your rulebase update notifications to your "program alias" address. 3. Monitor to make sure your rulebase update e-mails are successfully triggering your rulebase downloads. -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen -------------------------------------------- Merlin Consulting Martin Schaible Bahnhofstrasse 27 CH-8702 Zollikon Phone: +41 44 391 30 00 Fax: +41 44 391 32 49 Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.merlinconsulting.ch Support: http://support.merlinconsulting.ch GPS: N47 20.235 E8 34.226 -------------------------------------------- News - Neue Produkte: .:. mxGuard - InvURIBL - MessageSniffer .:.

Rick, Do you have your rulebase updates set to be triggered by new rulebase notices?

I can assure you that message sniffer is not catching any of them as we have been very disappointed in the effectiveness of message sniffer for the past 4 months. It catches quite a few but none of the new stuff.

Likely worm generated, subject line is the format "Name wrote:" with various ads for stocks in the body of the message. They keep slipping past SpamAssassin, I'm starting to think the only way to completely block them is to filter out anything with "wrote" in the subject. Any other ideas / suggestions?
