The point I'm trying to make is that the file shown was what was received from XMail *before* the filter itself read the file and possibly modified it.

Hi, I get the same thing sometimes! What's your set-up? I'm using XMail 1.18 with Courier IMAP (unpatched for cr/lf bug)/OpenLDAP Auth on Solaris 8. It's not a severe problem, as it's usually only a couple and the frequency of occurance is every few days, but it is annoying. - Kelly > I've noticed lately that I have been receiving blank emails.

[xmail] Blank Emails
I've noticed lately that I have been receiving blank emails. They have no From:, no Subject and no Content. From looking at the headers in Outlook, the mail was always spam (from a yahoo account that I don't recognize). I thought it was a filter (virus scanner and/or SpamAssassin) corrupting the file during processing. That doesn't seem to be the case. To verify this, I've modified each of my filters to copy the email file to there own directory before they do any processing. I then waited for the blank message to show up again... A new one came in this morning, both the virus scanner version and spam assassin version are exactly the same.

[xmail] Re: SPF
That is fair. This is technology that will gain widespread support. Now it is only a matter of waiting to see which of the three competing standards (rmx, dmp, spf) is the one that actually gains widespread support. Regardless of which ever standard gains support, you may need to make some subtle changes to the forwarding options in Xmail to take advantage of the tech. A I understand it, this issue applies to each of the three. As soon as SA 2.70 is officially released, you may want to update the forwarding stuff even if you don't yet want to implement filtering based on spf. I suspect that SA is being used by at least 1% of the internet mail infrastructure. - Original Message - From: "Davide Libenzi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 9:05 PM Subject: [xmail] Re: SPF > On Wed, 18 Feb 2004, Don Drake wrote: > > > I agree, this is getting a lot of attention lately... > > When more than 1% of the existing internet mail infrastructure will use > it, I'll think about it.

[xmail] Re: SPF
Spamassasin doesn't do SPF? The anti-spam software I use for my main mail server does it as a content filter. (Imail with Declude Junkmail) I'm sure someone can make one or make an existing filter to use SPF, since I use Xmail for special tasks and not general mail I don't run any spam filters (anything it sees has already been filtered), and I'm not familiar enough with spamassasin to know what it can filter on.

[xmail] Courier-imap and Xmailserver, full working solution mini how-to !!!
Hi everybody, I had a feeling that I've send this mail before but I didn't find it in the list archive and also in my send folder, so I've must be dreamed ;) and because I belive that will be helpful for many people before the official integration and production readyness of IMAP protocol in Xmailserver-2.0 here is the definitive, full working, intensively tested and Bug Free ( TM) solution: ;))) COURIER-IMAP and Xmailserver mini How-To ver 0.1 This mini how-to was made possible by SmartPost Romanian team and it explains full integration of courier-imap package with Xmaiserver. Initial issues: As we all know Xmailserver is the answer of everything mail but IMAP, some people insist that having nice IMAP folders, eventually shared and other niceties is a fact of life and they can't live without it. Here enters courier-imap server that uses the same maildir format as xmailserver but the messages are stored not in RFC format but in Unix format, this causes grave mis-functioning with outlook express and other mailers. A patch was done by somebody to correct this issue but it only corecteted partially and didn't treat with mixed enviroment mails ( mails with both Unix and RFC line termination), more it was broken with Moziila mail and other mails that were asking for parts of IMAP message at a time and not the full message as OE asked. Also during tests is seem that the message name mangling made by courier produced some strange results, some messeges beeing seen twice in some mail clients when delivered via Xmail POP3 server. Somebody ( Leonardo Fogel, please step up for full credits !!!) patched the POP3 side of Xmail [1] ( Davide, please, pretty please include this tiny, little, not intrusive patch in 1.18 final, plizzz ;) but the patch circulated for courier was definitly broken. So during tests for the new and improved SmartPost2 webmail and administration interface Andrei Latchescu ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) along with yours tester Mircea Ciocan ( [EMAIL PROTECTED]) devised a patch for courier [2] that was able to corectly deliver the messages regardless of their line termination both on its imap and pop3 side ( some people also like to use the pop3 side of courier server). This patch was tested with all curent mail clients ( M$ Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Mail 1.4-1.6, The Bat, Pegasus Mail) and worked flawlessly, so we claim that is ready for production use. The patch is against (tested) Courier-Imap ver. 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 ( it may work with older versions). So now you can seaminglesly migrate between Courier and Xmailserver and have even mixed mode messages in the folders ( like no need to convert all those 134.000 messages inherited ;). The work was sponsored by Swiss ISP PCDS ag ( http://www.pcds.ch).
