I have a filter that I've built for one of my customers that allows them to
whitelist items JUST for their domain.
The way that I do this is to add the following lines to their whitelist
filter:
ALLRECIPSEND NOTCONTAINS@domain1.
ALLRECIPSEND NOTCONTAINS@domain2.
We've been calling it a 'combo' filter. You need to set up two filters,
one that is non-scoring that pre-qualifies the ALLRECIPS, and the second
that only runs if the first filter is tripped. In your first filter, do
the following:
ALLRECIPS 0 CONTAINS @domain1.com
ALLRECIPS 0
Those using SKIPIFWEIGHT in filters take note:
I have found that nNOLEGITCONTENT and nIPNOTINMX are scored AFTER all
filters.
What this means is if you have filters say with SKIPIFWEIGHT 35, a message
scores 36 before the filters, but it passes NOLEGITCONTENT and/or IPNOTINMX,
the final weight

Scott, can the NOGEGITCONTENT and IPNOTINMX scoring occur earlier before the
filters, as expected?
No. It isn't expected. :)
Specifically, when the SKIPIFWEIGHT
I could understand ignoring negative weights for filters and fromfiles to a
point, but negative weights for other tests should be included. In the case
of the messages I was seeing, they were spam, but because the SKIPIFWEIGHT
saw 40 and didn't run, but nNOLEGITCONTENT subtracted 8 at the end, the
Its not a bug but its definately a gotcha that will bug you if you arent
careful :)
I recently created a filter test called HEADERS that checks for spoofing of
my own systems as well as for defunct domains and a few other header
specific tests, it catches alot of junk with little overhead so I
Currently I have 1 IMail 8.1x server with 12 virtual domains. Each domain
has a dedicated IP address. I currently have 3 backup mail servers, one
local, and 2 on other ISP links. Currently each backup mail server is
running MS SMTP using 1 IP address.
My MX records look like this

Scott,
I'm personally only crediting one point for nNOLEGITCONTENT and
nIPNOTINMX, the rest are in custom filters, so this hasn't seemed to
cause me a noticeable issue, but it is something that I inquired about
many months ago after someone else reported the issue and you indicated
wasn't the
I think the question revolves specifically around when the negative
weights for Declude's built-in tests and possibly things like fromfiles,
spamdomains, and ipfiles are deducted from the weight used to calculate
SKIPIFWEIGHT. If these are only deducted after the filters have run, it
would
Hi,
The docs imply that SKIPIFWEIGHT is only usable in the actual filter file.
Can it also be used in the global.cfg file?

Correct.

No, it only has meaning in the filter files.

The SKIPIFWEIGHT option attempts to calculate the weight with the

already been run and failed, but will not consider negative weights.
Are you saying that SKIPIFWEIGHT completely ignores any test that
passes a negative value?

The actual weight is the same, regardless of whether SKIPIFWEIGHT is
used. We're just talking about the weight that the SKIPIFWEIGHT
option sees, which may differ from the actual weight of the E-mail.
Understood - Sorry about not being
I'm confused. And it's always been a subject that confuses me.
How about an example...
Mail fails SBL for 100 weight.
Mail fails revdns-whitelist filter which adds a -200 weight.
So net weight at this time is -100.
Next filter has a skipifweight 75. Would the filter get skipped or processed?
Here's how this works if I'm in fact correct. There are two scoring
columns in Declude, the first is scored if a test fails, the second is
scored if a test is not failed. It sounds like the SKIPIFWEIGHT works
on the cumulative value of the first column only. Most don't use the
second column

This is exactly how it works.
