Have you tried putting the full path to the exe in the tab file? -tim

I placed the exe for the filter in the mailroot/bin folder, and added a .tab file to the mailroot/filters folder for the filter. I also added an entry in filters.out.tab that will send all outbound mail to the new filter. If I grab a message (copy it to another location) and craft a command line for the filter exe manually, it runs just fine. However, it doesn't seem to run (at all) as a filter. (I keep thinking of new things to check while I'm writing this email - just checked that *everything* is spelled correctly in all the .tab files, and that "filters.out.tab" is spelled correctly). Here's what I've got: filters.out.tab: "*" "*" "0.0.0.0/0" "0.0.0.0/0" "scanoutmail.tab" mailroot/filters/scanoutmail.tab: "virout.exe" "@@FILE" "@@REMOTEADDR" "@@RFROM" "@@RRCPT" "TRUE" Everything is properly delimited by tabs, and the virout.exe is in mailroot/bin folder. If I catch a message going through the system and copy it to C:\test.fil, then I open a command window and do: E: cd\xmail\mailroot\bin virout c:\test.fil 216.201.36.227:2468 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] true the message is tested by the filter program (I know this because the filter program writes events to the Windows event log). However, no matter how much mail I send, and regardless of whether I send to internal addresses or external addresses, it never gets activated by xmail (no event log entries show up - and if the program were failing, it would still generate an event log entry, although of a different type).
