[xmail] using Norman Virus Control with xmail
Hello Community In the case you have Norman Virus Control installed on your W2K, this may be of interest: Seeing the increasing amount of mail containing viruses, I wanted to set up a anti-virus filter. Because I have NVC5 installed and updated automatically, I wanted to use its command line scanner, which turned out being quite tricky. I finally wrote a little tool as layer between xmail filter and NVC. You'll find this tool here: http://www.apsag.com/public/nvcbind.zip Please notice that you must allow the scanner to scan data on network drives even though everything happens locally. Why? xmail uses extended path names such as \\?\d:\programs\xmail\... which appear as network paths to NVC ... And don't try to us the on-access scanner within the mailroot folder. You'll slow down everything and may even cause trouble with the locks.

[xmail] Dummy question about MAIL_ROOT
Hi, As I use an script to initiate XMail when the system loads I don't care about the mail_root environment variable. But now I'm trying to use xmail's sendmail (to test UebiMiau) and I need this variable to be set (in linux) so my dummy question is: how do i do it? I need to things: to enable the variable without rebooting and to configure something to make the variable avaiable the next time the system reload. Thanks ´:) Leonardo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[xmail] Re: Dummy question about MAIL_ROOT
The sendmail should really be a shell script that calls the real sendmail, it should be included with Xmail... !/bin/sh if [ -z $MAIL_ROOT ]; then export MAIL_ROOT=/var/MailRoot fi /usr/sbin/sendmail.xmail $* -Mensaje original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] nombre de Leonardo Cabral Enviado el: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 9:34 AM Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: [xmail] Dummy question about MAIL_ROOT Hi, As I use an script to initiate XMail when the system loads I don't care about the mail_root environment variable.

[xmail] Adding MAPS logging
Greetings,
I've heard a couple of people ask about logging for MAPS rejections, and I
found that I wanted such a feature myself - so I grabbed a copy of the 1.15
source and added it. Making these changes adds a new log file in the \log
directory, log name begins with maps (the name is formatted like the
rest, with a date in the file name). The format of the log file is:
Connecting IP Date/Time blocking maps domain
I have no objection if this code were to find it's way into the
distribution set for XMail...:)
Tracy

For posterity sake, here are the modifications I made - all to SMTPSvr.cpp:
(beware word wrap of e-mail clients)
In the constant declarations sections, find:
#define SMTP_LOG_FILE smtp
After this line, add:
#define SMTP_MAPS_FILE maps
In the function declarations section, find the line:
static int SMTPLogSession(SMTPSession SMTPS, char const *pszSender,
char const *pszRecipient, char const
*pszStatus,
unsigned long ulMsgSize);
After this line, add:
static int SMTPLogMaps(SMTPSession SMTPS, char const *pszMapsName);
In the SMTPInitSession function, find the following line (in the section
commented as Custom maps checking):
if (SMTPCheckMapsList(SMTPS.PeerInfo, pszMapsList, szMapName,
sizeof(szMapName) - 1,
iMapCode) 0)
{
After this line, add:
SMTPLogMaps(SMTPS.PeerInfo, szMapName);
In a convenient place (I placed it just following the SMTPLogSession
function), add the following:
static int SMTPLogMaps(SMTPSession SMTPS, char const *pszMapsName)
{
charszTime[256] = ;
MscGetTimeNbrString(szTime, sizeof(szTime) - 1);
RLCK_HANDLE hResLock = RLckLockEX(SVR_LOGS_DIR SYS_SLASH_STR
SMTP_MAPS_FILE);
if (hResLock == INVALID_RLCK_HANDLE)
return (ErrGetErrorCode());
charszIP[128] = ???.???.???.???;
MscFileLog(SMTP_MAPS_FILE, \%s\
\t\%s\
\t\%s\
\n, SysInetNToA(SMTPS.PeerInfo, szIP), szTime, pszMapsName);
RLckUnlockEX(hResLock);
return (0);
}

[xmail] Bypassing RDNS check for specific addresses?
Greetings, Is there a way to cause XMail to whitelist an IP address or address block from MAPS/RDNS checking? I've got someone who runs a private mailing list on their server, but doesn't have reverse DNS set up (actually, they did, but their ISP messed it up). Is there a way I can tell XMail to just let their server through without worrying about MAPS and/or RDNS?

[xmail] Filters on Aliases
Hi Guys, I have a problem with filters not working on aliases. For example. I have a user, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and an alias for that username of [EMAIL PROTECTED] In my filters folder, I have a [EMAIL PROTECTED] file, which scans for spam. When someone sends email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the filter does not run. In the .tab file I have tried @RRCPT, and @RCPT but no luck. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
