[xmail] Filter Question
Has anyone implemented a filter that strips attachments with specific extensions such as exe, html, asp, etc. I am looking for one that I can feed a list of extensions, have those stripped and the mail message updated to reflect they have been deleted. I wasn't able to determine this from the filter info on the xMail web site. J. B.

I suspect there is a way to turn it off. Either a registery hack or setting somewhere. Outlook, particularly, is pretty customizable if you know what you're doing with it. However, the issue isn't client software. There is no reason to block attachments if you have a good antivirus solution in place. I find Peter Lindeman's solution in conjunction with ClamAV does a great job. - Ken - 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]

I agree, I used to use this method when I was using Communigate. I might try to hack something together, but I am not very skilled in the areas of perl/c++. Just java, really. Peter, in your experience, do you think this(stripping attachments based on extension) is a difficult task or not? If it is, then I don't think my amateur skills will suffice. :) Ben Scott wrote: >Peter Lindeman wrote: > > >>I understand that but what is the use for it?!?

[xmail] Xmail, FreeBSD and ecartis/mailman
I seem to be consistently running up against two specific problems with FreeBSD and Xmail in conjunction with Ecartis or Mailman. The first seems to have to do with the creation of symlinks. Integration scripts that are supposed to auto-create symlinks are not doing so. I can manually create them but the scripts are not doing so. Second, any script I use to integrate Ecartis or Mailman seems to fail when it comes to using ECONV and tmpfiles. Given that I have (a) re-done the configurations about 12 times and (b) seem to have failures happening at exactly the same places, I'm beginning to think I've come up against one or more FreeBSD idiosyncracies. I'm using FreeBSD 5.1 and XMail 1.18. ECONV, Lisset.pl, Swrap, etc. download from xmailserver.org. Mailman and Ecartis built from FreeBSD ports. Has anyone experienced this? If so, any suggestions?

I never tried Mailman, but XMail+Ecartis is working fine here.

This is important information! :) I've been believing all the tutorials that said it will create the cmdaliases and such. OK. So, let's forget about lisset.pl because I obviously don't know what I'm talking about. I have ecartis on one partition /usr and Xmail on /var1 (two totally separate disks).

A ha! Progress! I have at least generated an ecartis log entry. :) The log entry is as such: [04/06/2004-16:42:36] [9457] Using '/tmp/msrv80ccc02c844.tmp.lst' instead of STDIN... [04/06/2004-16:42:36] [9457] Unable to open input file '/tmp/msrv80ccc02c844.tmp.lst' Basically, I moved ecartis to the same disk and partition as Xmail, changed the path to ecartis.sh in the ecartis.tab file and sent a test message. No other changes were made to either Ecartis or Xmail. This would seem to support my theory that there was a file system issue between the two. This is the first evidence I've had of ecartis actually running when an email is received. - ken - 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]

If you used the files off my webpage the /yourdir/ecartis/bin directory and it's contents should be root user and group and all the other /yourdir/ecartis directories should be ecartis user and group. If you used the other version of the files then I believe everything in the /yourdir/ecartis directory should be user and group ecartis.

I suspect there is a way to turn it off. Either a registery hack or setting somewhere. Outlook, particularly, is pretty customizable if you know what you're doing with it. However, the issue isn't client software. There is no reason to block attachments if you have a good antivirus solution in place. I find Peter Lindeman's solution in conjunction with ClamAV does a great job. - Ken - 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] -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Ecartis -- -- Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature -- File: smime.p7s - 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]

It was adding a .lst suffix to the tmpfile ($FILENAME.lst). I removed the .lst suffix from the script and now everything works. Looks like the main problem was the drive/partition issue. Have to look into that more deeply. Now, let's see if the same holds true for Mailman. - Ken - 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]
