RE: [Declude.JunkMail] maybe a dumb question
The WARN action only generates a line in the header of the message. Are you trying to send an alert to the user that sent it? Darrell -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Stanley Lyzak Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 12:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] maybe a dumb question Ok, If this is too easy a question, cut me a break...we have been using declude for 4 days (and are LOVING it!) (hitting about 65% - 75% catch rate- trying to improve). We have an IMail 6.x mailbag server (no actual mailboxes or domains exist). It uses relay for IP and a hosts file per IMail recommendation. Using declude, we are seeing two odd behaviors: 1) No setting for inbound mail in $default$.junkmail can be made to generate a warning (we are testing with a piece of software that can be made to violate the rules enough to cause a warning). Outbound warnings in the global.cfg work like a champ. Is this because we have no actual domains/mailboxes hosted on this server??? 2) (Possibly related to above?): Although we are running the Pro version of Declude, we cannot get a per-domain variation in the rule set. The only warnings that are effective, are from the global.cfg file in the imail/declude folder. We have tried creating a subfolder under declude with the same name as our domain name, but it ignores any global.cfg or $default$.junkmail file setting in that folder (yes I restarted the IMail SMTP service after the changes). Any ideas? Thanks BTW, the manual doesn't seem to be very inclusive in how everything can be set. I have done some searches on the Internet and found a few nice tools (and this forum has been helping a lot). But is there a good repository of hints and specs (settings) that I could get my hands on??? I am very technically literate. Thanks again!

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] maybe a dumb question
ok, I think I see my error. I need to make a sub under the declude folder whose name matches the alias. But if my official hostname is server.company.com, I see in the alias field that we don't have an alias defined! Is this necessary if the server is only a mailbagger? (maybe just for declude to identify each domain separately???) If I put in the alias, I assume we can then create settings (the two config files) in that company.com subfolder and they will supercede the files in the main declude folder? What about all the other domains we mailbag for? Will I need to create aliases for each one?

If an E-mail is destined to an address that isn't hosted locally, IMail and Declude treat it as outgoing mail. You can either use the outgoing settings, or have per-domain settings for those domains. 2) (Possibly related to above?): Although we are running the Pro version of Declude, we cannot get a per-domain variation in the rule set.

I'm guessing your host name in IMail is mail.example.com, with example.com as an alias? In that case, you need to use \IMail\Declude\mail.example.com\ as the directory for the per-user/per-domain settings. -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

Is this necessary if the server is only a mailbagger? (maybe just for declude to identify each domain separately???) Actually, since your server is just acting as a gateway, you can just use company.com (assuming that E-mail is just addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED]). There is no need to put in the alias. What about all the other domains we mailbag for? Will I need to create aliases for each one? No. You can either set up per-domain settings for those domains, or they can use the outgoing actions as listed in the global.cfg file. -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] maybe a dumb question
It is my understanding that the only file needed in these subs is the $default$.junkmail file. That is correct (other files would only be needed for per-user configurations). Am I right in assuming the global.cfg and wordfilter.txt files are only good at the declude folder level??? Declude doesn't have a wordfilter.txt file. If that is part of the fromfile/ipfile/filter test types, it would NOT work in one of those folders. It would need to go in the \IMail\Declude directory. The global.cfg file also only belongs in the \IMail\Declude directory. I read through the manual and it doesn't even mention the wordfilter.txt file! G Several people have referred to the new (beta) filter feature as wordfilter. Only filter (the test type) is something that Declude knows about. wordfilter or wordfilter.txt may be test names or files used by tests that some Declude JunkMail users have added. -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
