[Declude.JunkMail] Message id with ATTACH action

2004-11-17 Thread Kaj Søndergaard Laursen
Hi I'm using Imail+Declude as a anti-spam+virus smtp-relay in front of my exchange server. It seems to me that when I use the ATTACH options every message gets a message-id [EMAIL PROTECTED] I suspect that causes some strange issues at my exchange server - at least when I use message tracking.

That's a bad assumption IMO. This is known as Variable Envelope Return Path or VERP. It is used by many legitimate bulk mailers to properly handle bounces for undeliverable messages so that they can automatically remove bad addresses after so many failures. Some bulk mailers are of course

Yeah, what Matt said. Chipping in another 2 cents, the ?stderr. in particular I find in bulk mail as opposed to spam mail, and they are more likely to have a a valid opt-out routine that works like you expect it to work. I believe that is a built-in feature with Postfix and SendMail. Andrew 8)

We're seeing a 10-fold increase in zombie spam today. ~90% of what slips through triggers either CMDSPACE or SNIFFER, so we've upped both of those to hold weights. Anyone else seeing this? Darin.

Katie, You need Declude JunkMail Pro 1.81 for SKIPIFWEIGHT functionality. This only works within custom filters. Both the RBL's and Sniffer require very little in the way of resources, but some custom filters can be large resource hogs and using SKIPIFWEIGHT to stop the processing of filters
