Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and attachments
Statistics will give you a general idea. We generally hold messages at a score of 10 or 13, but we stop processing custom filters using SKIPIFWEIGHT when the score reaches 25 and we separate those messages from the others since we feel +99.99% confident that they are spam and this allows us to concentrate on reviewing the small amount that gets held but scores lower. It's clear that after the RBL's and Sniffer run over 90% of the spam is already beyond this weight, and our legitimate message volume is less than 15%, so saying that our filters are run 25% of the time is an understatement, it's more like 18% on our system. YYMV of course. We take extra steps to move obvious patterns and sources from our hold range to a score at or above 25 in order to lighten the load of reviewing. Since custom filters in Declude are the costliest in terms of processing power, having a tight system and using a safe SKIPIFWEIGHT value (beta/interim releases only) can save you at least 75% of the load of JunkMail. We have probably about 8,000 lines of custom filters presently and it only appears to cause spikes on large legitimate messages which aren't common enough to be problematic at our current volume. AV scanning however is a problem, one that could be helped immensely by optimizations within Declude Virus, but that isn't your problem.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and attachments
Hi Scott- My body filter runs last. It's set now to skip messages with attachments (Thanks, Rick Davidson for that one!). SKIPIFWEIGHT is just above my delete weight. I tried to derive from the daily report and WAMLOG how many times the filter runs, and my best guess is that it runs for around 25% of the messages. It would be nice to know if that is even close. Sounds like it might be if SKIPIFWEIGHT drops 80% of yours before the filter runs. -d - Original Message - From: "Scott Fisher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 1:19 PM Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and attachments I haven't found any easy way to tell.

Scott, I've got a lot more BODY filters than Dave has, though I don't feel that they are excessive.

One instance of Declude, then two, then three, all in the 25%+ range. As soon as it dropped to two Decludes, Queue Manager came right in at 30-40%, then the cycles dropped as QueueManager dropped down. It does sound like it is the large files that are causing the problem. One option would be to temporarily disable the BODY filter with the 200 lines in it, to see if that prevents the problem with the high CPU usage in Declude JunkMail. That could indeed be causing the problem. The other would be to use the debug mode ("LOGLEVEL DEBUG" in the \IMail\Declude\global.cfg file) and waiting for one of these files to be sent. We can look at the debug log file entries to get a better idea of where the high CPU usage is occurring. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and attachments
I just watched it build, max out, and decline. One instance of Declude, then two, then three, all in the 25%+ range. As soon as it dropped to two Decludes, Queue Manager came right in at 30-40%, then the cycles dropped as QueueManager dropped down. -d - Original Message - From: "R.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and attachments
When this happens, I usually see about three Declude processes, each in the 25% - 30% neighborhood, and several more showing smaller percentages. Also, I see the usual Sniffer, SMTP, POP, and IMAP, all much lower. Do you have a lot of BODY or ANYWHERE filters (the most CPU intensive tests in Declude JunkMail)? -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and attachments
I use a filter that searches for attachments and causes the email to bypass further filter tests. For example my filter is called BYPASS and contains lines like these: BODY 0 CONTAINS .PDF BODY 0 CONTAINS Content-type: application/msword BODY 0 CONTAINS Content-Type: application/pdf BODY 0 CONTAINS Content-Type: application/rtf BODY 0 CONTAINS Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel BODY 0 CONTAINS X-MS-Attachment: Then I have this line at the top of all my filters: TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS BYPASS Run the bypass filter before any other filter tests run, this has eliminated alot of false positives for me especially with PDF files. You can recover alot of CPU processing time by running your tests in a logical order, run all your filters that hold or delete mail first and then use the TESTSFAILED END to stop the filtering process on any messages that are already flagged for holding or deletion Rick Davidson National Systems Manager North American Title Group - - Original Message - From: "Dave Doherty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 8:18 AM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and attachments > Hi- > > Many of my users are personnel agencies that send and receive a lot of > resumes as attachments.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and attachments
I know others have mentioned higher CPU load with body searches and the like, and most like searching through the entire attachment text for matches to a filter?
