Hello Davide, OK. It's realy cool. And if you send 1 message to the list, consisting of 50 people, then how many messages are in a spool after that? :) send ONE message to the mailinglist - all mailinglist subscribers incoming mail is scanned AGAIN. And as they are local domain users, that's the real pain in ass for the system.

Please be advised that the SpamAssassin script doesn't support the new filter architecture as of 1.16. You need to modify the script to use the new return values. I've been too busy to upgrade XMail as well as upgrade the script, but it's on my list. -Don Both scripts use @@FILE as the input to process the message and use work directories created with random generated values. The antivirus script is the one peter lindeman contributed and the spam script is the spamassassin script contributed by don drake. Based on the XMail logs, some of these errors occur when there are no other messages coming in at least 30 minutes before or after. That's what makes it so puzzling.

Did you try 1.17-pre01 ? I am now using 1.16 and the filter does let my own domain emails go through now (filters.in.tab) when using RETCODE 16 to stop processing, the oddball item is that it still puts the email in the KEEP dir of XScanner so I then have duplicate copies. But it works, even despite this quirk, so now I am successfully not filtering my own domain to domain emails =) I will watch for 1.17 when it is final...

I will find out later today I suppose =) Thanks - 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] - 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: Filters.in.tab
The filters are executed in sequence in the order they are in the filters.*.tab In Filters.in.tab I tried your idea complete with batch file, I even tried retcode 108 instead of 8, no go. Then I tried sending it to my current filter, XScanner as such in exception.tab c:\xscanner\xscanner.exe c:\xscanner @@FILE @@FROM @@RCPT 8 So far I am unable to get it to stop processing the next file, even though exception.tab is called first in my filters.in.tab - so it continues to send it onto the next filter... - 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]

Did you try 1.17-pre01 ? Nope, I can read up on the changelog and see though. Thanks - 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: Filters.in.tab
Searching the README, I found the following. filters.in.tab sender[TAB]recipient[TAB]remote-addr[TAB]local-addr[TAB]filename[N EWLINE] Your example would be: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 exception.tab exception.tab command[TAB]arg-or-macro[TAB]...[NEWLINE] Your example would be: c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe /c return8.bat[NEWLINE] return8.bat @echo off EXIT 8 If the filter returns 0 the message is allowed to pass, but if you add 8 the next filter is NOT executed. So if you return 0+8 (ie.8) then you have the ability to stop all further filter processing. So in the example, if the to from domains are your domain and the mail is incoming (being delivered to a local mailbox) then execute the script defined within exception.tab. That script should do nothing, just exit with return code 8. You might want to play with the IP address also, to ensure you ONLY except email that are locally created. The above example will except mail created by a user at home with a from address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You may want to scan mail that originates offsite regardless. I haven't test the above, It's just theory, but let me know how you go.

I am NOT using an outgoing filter at all, but incoming mails from the same domain are still considered incoming, and people are upset that they get caught in the filter since I am not always around to hand filter for a time. Has anyone figured out of this is doable at all?
