Matt, you think too much.

Bill, 1) The commenting in the
CMD file seemed a bit excessive and that made it a little hard to follow.
It might be nice to arrange all of the tweakable variables in a single section
instead of separating each one out, and then block coding the main program with
a standard amount of commenting. I think that would make the script more
readable for both programmers as well as beginners. Most of this stuff is somewhat minor taken in
isolation from each other, but I believe that it could be a bit tighter in one
way or another for a better result. I'll volunteer my own services if you
would like for me to provide examples of any one of these things, but I'll wait
for your direction before doing so. I think the most important thing
would be for Pete to provide some guidance for the preferred directory
structure (independent of the app), so that this could be used for the default
settings in this and other scripts. Attached is an updated instructions file to fix some typos and missed information. I'll send out another update after receiving feedback from others.

Included with this distribution are the open-source "wget" and "gzip" files. They are needed to support the download and uncompression of rulebase files. Step one: ========= Copy all files from this distribution into your "sniffer" directory. Step two: ========= Edit the "snfupd.cmd" file (this is the rulebase download script). 1. Open the snfupd.cmd file in you sniffer directory with a text editor like "Notepad". 2. Edit all entries labeled "EDIT NEXT LINE" with your specific configuration information. 3. Save your changes. Step three: =========== Create an IMail "Program Alias" account 1. Open the "IMail Administrator" 2. Select the domain to create the "program alias" account under 3. Click on "Aliases" under the chosen domain 4. Click on the "Add Alias..." button 5. Type in the "Alias ID" for this account (something like: snifferupdate), then click "Next" 6. Select "Program" as the alias type and click "Next" 7. Click "Browse..." and browse to the location of your "sniffer" directory and select "snfupd.cmd", then click "Next" 8. Click "Finish" and you're done setting up your Sniffer "Program Alias" account Step four (optional): ===================== Create a "Standard Alias" account (only necessary if you want to receive a copy of the Sniffer update notifications). 1. Open the "IMail Administrator" 2. Select the domain to create the "standard alias" account under 3. Click on "Aliases" under the chosen domain 4. Click on the "Add Alias..." button 5. Type in the "Alias ID" for this account (something like: snfupd), then click "Next" 6. Select "Standard" as the alias type and click "Next" 7. Add the e-mail address that you would like the Sniffer update messages to be forwarded to. Also add the "program alias" address you created in Step Three above. This will send a copy of the update notification to all listed accounts, including the "program alias", which will trigger the new rulebase download. 8. Click "Finish" and you're done setting up your Sniffer "Standard Alias" account Step five: ========== Test the new "program alias" account. 1. If you setup a "standard alias", as defined in "Step four" above, send a test message to your "standard alias" e-mail address. This should trigger a copy of the test message to your e-mail forwarding address and set-off the rulebase download. 2. Check to see that you received a copy of the test message to your forwarding address. 3. Check to see that a rulebase download was triggered (check the timestamp of your rulebase file - you can also view the snfupd.txt file to see the complete status of the update. Also, if you opted to receive the update results via e-mail (via the snfupd.cmd download script), check to see that you received the results e-mail. 4. If you skipped "Step four" above, send a test message to your "program alias" address and check to see if it triggered a rulebase download. Step six: ========= Advise SortMonster of the new e-mail address to send update notifications to. 1. If you created a "standard alias" account as defined in "Step four", send an e-mail to Sniffer Support ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and ask them to send your rulebase update notifications to your "standard alias" e-mail address. 2. If you skipped "Step four" above, ask Sniffer Support to send your rulebase update notifications to your "program alias" address. 3. Monitor to make sure your rulebase update e-mails are successfully triggering your rulebase downloads. ============ That's it... ============
