[sniffer] Re: Weight Gate Success? Failure?
I saw the activity on the list when it was created but have not seen a full description of it and it's functionality. I may be interested in using it but am not sure at this point. Could you provide that?

Pete, I plan to use it or something similar in non-production once I set up a new test system. A quick test with a batch file worked fine. Although I'm no programmer, I have reviewed the source and saw no obvious logical problems or coding flaws. Rigorous testing on the command line showed that it works perfectly. Command line testing also showed that it dealt with extremely large numbers correctly. Command line testing also showed that when passed values that are out of bounds or doggerel, no executable is launched and a safe value of 0 is returned as the return value. Command line testing also showed that it handles long file names (even if Declude doesn't like quotes in filenames) which makes it more generally useful. I think you've done a great job, Pete!

I've tried Pete's WeightGate with INVURIBL. Original line in Declude Global Config. INV-URIBL external weight E:\INVURIBL\invURIBL.exe %WEIGHT% %REMOTEIP% 5 0 New line INVARIANT external weight e:\tools\ShowMe.exe -50 %WEIGHT% 10 E:\INVURIBL\invURIBL.exe %WEIGHT% %REMOTEIP% 5 0 Account for line Wrap I have verified Invuribl is being called. I'm still confirming Spam Blocking Performance. The resulting CPU savings were no less than stunning.

Andrew, Comments inline: Can I be the first to point out that in your example, you're still calling ShowMe.exe and not WeightGate.exe so you will be appending to c:\ShowMe.log with every call? Yes, I've changed that to WeightGate.exe. In my excitement, I copied the line to the email before the change. Another blunder was that strange email from me to me that somehow made it to the list. Sorry. And for those new to the party, I'll explain that what Bill is doing with his modified configuration is to avoid calling InvURIBL when the current Declude weight is less than -50 or more than 10. If it's less than -50, Bill is presumably already heavily negatively weighting known ham senders and thus avoiding calling InvURIBL on messages that are ham. Likewise, it the current weight is more than 10, Bill is assuming the message is already spammy enough and doesn't want InvURIBL to run on those either. I will probably tweak these settings as I survey the results.
