I'm not sure I completely understand.

If there are changes to your rulebase then they will be recognized on
the next update.

If you adjust the .cfg file, it will be recognized on the next reload,
by default every 10 minutes, or you can issue the reload command and
the persistent server will loop right away.

Nothing else should be necessary.

Hope this helps,

I think the files you mentioned are for mxGuard only. They are separate from
Message Sniffer and do not require you to restart anything.

Craig



it's the 'definition' of what is my rulebase that is unclear here.

Specifically, if I add a domain name in the file 'whitelist.sender' in my
mxguard directory (under my imail directory), will this be recognized
without restarting my sniffer process? I'm not changing the 'cfg' file in
this example.

That kind of change is outside of SNF and won't effect it.

RE: [sniffer] test sender

2004-12-10 Thread Colbeck, Andrew
Title: Message




Well, 
an indirect way to do this is to use the (undocumented?) Declude 
directive:

rsp 
set off TESTNAME

as the 
first bit of text in your test message. That won't actually trigger 
sniffer, but it will for the purpose of making your JunkMail think that the test 
has been triggered.

  sender
  Hi,
  
  Is there a test sender where I can have the 
  program send us a test mail that should fail a specific sniffer 
  test?
  
  I know I can test sniffer itself agains a single 
  good and bad file, but I want to test the chain. The Declude site has 
  something like that where it is sending the EICAR teststringin the 
  various ways a virus might reach the mailserver. That way the full setup of 
  the mailserver with the scanner can be tested.
  
  I would like something where I can send myself a 
  msg which should fail with an exitcode for TRAVEL or for PORN etc. That way I 
  can test for sure whether my "improvements" haven't broken something in stead 
  of waiting till my users complain (certain) spam has increased. It's the small 
  typos that can get to ya in a big way. ;-)
  Groetjes,
  
  Bonno Bloksma Back up my hard drive? How do I put it in 
  reverse?

Would anyone be able to help me determine why a message is caught by
