[Declude.JunkMail] OT: MX Connect Failure message

2004-10-26 Thread Dave Doherty
Hi,
I'm doing caching  for a domain that runs its own Exchange server. This has 
been working fine for some time, but it stopped working mysteriously over 
the weekend. I also noticed a significant increase in outbound mail on the 
daily midnight report. I do not know whether these itesm are connected, but 
the timing is interesting. The IMail log analyzer does not show the 
increase in traffic, which I take to mean that the increase in traffic may 
be to domains that are off the server (ie: this one that we're caching for).

The correct IP address is in the HOSTS file. The MX Connect Failure message 
includes this IP.

I can telnet to the remote server from my Imail server on port 25 with no 
apparent problems.

A reboot of the Imail box did not help.
Any ideas, anybody?
-dave

[Declude.JunkMail] Solution to death of IMail

2004-10-26 Thread decjunkmail
Here's some food for thought for Scott:

Several on the list have suggested that Declude adapt to run with other mail servers 
in addition to Imail.

Of course, as Imail servers start getting replaced, it is very unlikely everyone will 
choose the same replacement MTA.  More than likely, the Imail user base will 
fractionalize and probably choose from among 5 to 10 solutions (or more!).

That means the target market only gets smaller and more fragmented.  Declude would 
probably have to support multiple replacement email servers in order to keep most 
customers and that involves a lot of effort - development, testing, support.

Here's a thought - what about a Declude mail server?

It might actually be less work and a better solution to simply provide a replacement 
mail server that all declude customers can use.

Afterall, the quality of a declude server, if done right, would be equal to or better 
than the hodge-podge of other mail servers out there today!

I would certainly rather stay with Declude than play the lottery picking another 
vendor and possibly end-up with another Ipswitch with simply a different name.

Webmail could come later or not at all (there's enough pureplay Webmail stuff that 
grafting something in using imap or pop only would be decent at least for a while).

What makes everyone think that Declude won't work with Ipswitch ICS?
I'll bet that the core MTA in ICS is identical to Imail -- probably 99% of
the same SMTP code.
Unless the Spool folder, file name structure and ability to call your own
SMTP32D transport is removed, I'll bet that it works.

Has anyone downloaded a version and tested?
If I get a chance I'll DL and test in Virtual PC.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] IPSwitch ICS

2004-10-26 Thread Bonno Bloksma
Hi,

  Perhaps the time has arrived for the folks at Computerized Horizons to
  release their own full blown MTA... grin

 Add my vote, too!

 WebMail, POP, IMAP and SMTP. No need for the rest of it, IMHO. I have
 calendaring turned off, and I do not want to get involved with instant
 messaging and the rest. I could probably live without IMAP, too.

Sorry, the reason we went with IMail was the webmail support at the time. We
have completely rewritten the webmail templates to seemlessly integrate it
with our website where our students and teachers can read the mail. As it
also supports POP and IMAP we can also use it for the regular e-mail
accounts the staff has, who mostly use Outlook (Express) on their computer
(POP) and the shared e-mail accounts which are used by the helpdesk etc.
(IMAP) and people like me who have 2 to 3 systems where they need to be able
to access the mail.

Of course an antivirus and antispam product like Declude only helped to
swing the vote in IMail's favor at the time. We will be looking for
something new in the future ass well. I had not renewed my SA either because
I could not see any new developments we wanted to have in the lastest
IMail product. Rights now we are at 8.05 and we'll probably stay there for a
while.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Bonno Bloksma

CBL:RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Solution to death of IMail

2004-10-26 Thread Markus Gufler


 What makes everyone think that Declude won't work with Ipswitch ICS?

Nothing. I'm pretty sure that ICS has not very much new tecnology inside -
it's only the package and the price that differ.

 Has anyone downloaded a version and tested?
 If I get a chance I'll DL and test in Virtual PC.

IPSwitch's strategy urges me to completely ignore this product. They should
see, that offending customers this way is absolutely not acceptable. 
First voices on the imail list are confirming my expectation that ICS is
neither comparable with Exchange.

Regarding solution to 'death of Imail' I have to completely agree with
Matt and 'decjunkmail'

As I'm asking for a long time it would be very usefull to know what's going
on with declude. I've asked this some months ago, since Imail is not my only
choice for a mailserver. It's Declude holding me on this line. But even
Declude showed certain things I can see now with IPSwitch/ICS. It's not
completely the same story but customers in both cases are left in the dark
and feel patronized by new features (colaboration, MTLD) they not realy
need. 

To be honest I'm already in contact with realy expert developers (some of
them has developed the basic functionality of Skype) and I feel myself
knowledgeable enough to tell them what they have to code so that we can set
up our own windows based smtp-gateway able to accept smtp-traffic on port
25, process them in a weighting system and take apropriate actions like in
our current solution and then forward legigt traffic to another port on the
local machine or another IP. 

Having the right informations what's going on with Declude would let me stop
imediatly following the describbed way. Knowing what's going on with Imail
will urge me to bring forward this idea bether today then tommorow.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Best Practices for handing legit email flagged as spam?

2004-10-26 Thread Chris Ulrich

The reason it is called BOUNCEONLYIFYOUMUST is just that. Bounce only if you
MUST and be aware of what you are doing.
So what do you recommend to help avoid losing false-positives while still 
catching the crap?
We all know that people will get false positives.  How it is handled after 
that is the trick.
Unfortunately, we have a couple of clients who are receiving email from 
people that always get blocked.

And, regardless of what I say, they need those emails to get through, no 
matter what.

With 1000+ domains on the server, with each having 1 to 300 accounts, to 
try to come up with
a way to give the client more control would be a disaster.  The phone 
rings constantly enough that people
forget their password, didn't touch outlook yet all of their settings are 
different, etc

What would happen if we let them start picking user defined levels within 
Declude?

They'd be calling constantly - hey, I set it for medium and I'm not 
getting this email from my sister.
Hey, I set it for low and it still lets spam in. HeyYou get the 
idea.

I don't expect there to be a right answer... what I'm looking for are best 
practices -
thanks for the other responses that came through - but for the rest, I'm 
not expecting a right or wrong answer,
just looking to open a dialog of rules of thumb that might work well for all.

Thanks!
Chris

For reviewing held mail I use a win2003 box and outlook express, outlook 
express allows easy access to the header information unlike Outlook.

Win2003 allows you to connect to the console session so you can always 
leave outlook express open and running so your hold mailboxes dont get 
over filled. If remote management isnt a requirement then the win2003 
remote console doesnt matter...

On your filtering server, create a mailbox for each test that holds mail, 
create accounts and message rules to download and sort the mail by test.

As you review the mail you can determine why a false positive occured and 
then adjust your filtering accordingly. Once you are certain a test is not 
generating false positives you can safely switch it to delete mail.

My false positive rate is near 1 in 500k-700k we do about 115K messages a 
day, we hold over 100K of those as spam. I am constantly readjusting for 
better catch rate and fewer false positives

This is how I do it.

Hi all.  We've been struggling a bit with this issue.  We have a variety 
of tests in place, and basically have just changed our settings to:

WEIGHT10 WARN
WEIGHT20 BOUNCEONLYIFYOUMUST
WEIGHT40 DELETE
The hope is that it will bounce some of the false positives back to the 
senders so we don't get complaints from people that they are not 
receiving their emails (which previously were getting deleted) and that 
if it is so offending (it hits 40) that we delete it.

I know there is a HOLD option where we could review it, but:
1.  How time consuming is it to go in and review these messages?  Do you 
waste a lot of time doing it?

2.  How exactly do you review these and, if it looks legit, flag it as OK 
to go?  Are there any tools where you can basically browse through the 
subjects, senders, etc., like you would with Eudora or Outlook?  Or do 
you have to manually look at each?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks

2004-10-26 Thread Mark E. Smith
Markus,
RE:

 product. They should see, that offending customers this way
 is absolutely not acceptable.
 First voices on the imail list are confirming my expectation
 that ICS is neither comparable with Exchange.

I agree 100% with you.
I must first admit that I have not tested, read, or used the new IPSwitch
product so I can't honestly say whether or not the new features are worth
the price.
However, given the fact that I have 4 subscriptions to Imail server
Unlimited and was lead to believe that the collaboration upgrades would be
part of a Imail upgrade makes me quite irritated.
Furthermore, no notice was sent to me (probably no other Imail customers)
about the release, upgrade path, pricing, etc of ICS. Also, the upgrade for
existing subscription users is almost a slap in the face.
We also have a 5000 user Exchange 2003 system so there really isn't any
requirement that we have for a ICS product.

Now, having said that, I do believe that there is a market for a stand-alone
ICS product.
Exchange w/ SBS is still more expensive than ICS so if ICS can deliver the
features then it might be worth it.
The unfortunate thing is that it looks like they won't be continuing to
offer the Imail product that many ISP's have trusted for so long.

I just know we won't buy ICS but we will continue to use Imail/Declude.

[Declude.JunkMail] MS SMTP

2004-10-26 Thread Mark E. Smith
Re: using MS SMTP.
I believe that Scott addressed this once before but I'll take a shot at it.

If memory serves me correctly, I think the problem with MS SMTP is that
there isn't an easy way to shim declude between the SMTP listener service
and the MTA.
Remember that in Imail the SMTP service receives the email and SMTP32.EXE is
spawned by the service to deliver the email.
Declude is shimmed into the process where DECLUDE.EXE is called by the SMTP
Service and Declude calls SMTP32.EXE

In the MS SMTP world, I don't believe that there's a way to do this.
Maybe this has changed since the NT 4.0 IIS world (when I believe this was
discussed)

However, there is a way to receive and deliver via the file system by
placing messages into the \MAILROOT subfolders.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnproasp2/h
tml/howsmtpserviceworks.asp

Declude might be able to scan the \drop folder then call CDONTS.SYS for
outbound processing.

Of course, as Imail servers start getting replaced, it is
very unlikely everyone will choose the same replacement MTA.
More than likely, the Imail user base will fractionalize and

sendmail/postfix? I for one would prefer to be free of yet another corporation on the 
dumb MTA side of things, and just trust Declude to do all the hard stuff.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Solution to death of IMail
Here's some food for thought for Scott: 

Several on the list have suggested that Declude adapt to run with other mail servers 
in addition to Imail. 

Of course, as Imail servers start getting replaced, it is very unlikely everyone will 
choose the same replacement MTA. More than likely, the Imail user base will 
fractionalize and probably choose from among 5 to 10 solutions (or more!). 

That means the target market only gets smaller and more fragmented. Declude would 
probably have to support multiple replacement email servers in order to keep most 
customers and that involves a lot of effort - development, testing, support. 

Here's a thought - what about a Declude mail server? 

It might actually be less work and a better solution to simply provide a replacement 
mail server that all declude customers can use. 

Afterall, the quality of a declude server, if done right, would be equal to or better 
than the hodge-podge of other mail servers out there today! 

I would certainly rather stay with Declude than play the lottery picking another 
vendor and possibly end-up with another Ipswitch with simply a different name. 

Webmail could come later or not at all (there's enough pureplay Webmail stuff that 
grafting something in using imap or pop only would be decent at least for a while).

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Ipswitch Collaboration Suite Released

2004-10-26 Thread Andy Schmidt
Hi David:

I just upgraded one Imail server to 8.1 about 4 weeks ago and bought a
service contract for the other.

Questions:

- What are the specific changes in Imail 9 vs. Imail 8.1 (I don't use and
need any of the collaboration features that have been added in the past
years.)  I looked at your web site, but it seems you added nothing but
cost? Correct?

- How do I obtain a partial refund for the software / service contract
purchases as there will be no more upgrades to new Imail version included
as promised - and I will not make use of the upgrade discount to a product
that apparently offers nothing new to justify doubling my cost. (I need that
refund to set money aside to purchase an Internet mail server that will be
supported going forward.)

 Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] MS SMTP
 
 Re: using MS SMTP.
 I believe that Scott addressed this once before but I'll take a shot at
it.
 
 If memory serves me correctly, I think the problem with MS SMTP is that
 there isn't an easy way to shim declude between the SMTP listener
service
 and the MTA.
 Remember that in Imail the SMTP service receives the email and SMTP32.EXE
is
 spawned by the service to deliver the email.
 Declude is shimmed into the process where DECLUDE.EXE is called by the
SMTP
 Service and Declude calls SMTP32.EXE
 
 In the MS SMTP world, I don't believe that there's a way to do this.
 Maybe this has changed since the NT 4.0 IIS world (when I believe this was
 discussed)
 
 However, there is a way to receive and deliver via the file system by
 placing messages into the \MAILROOT subfolders.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnproasp2/h
 tml/howsmtpserviceworks.asp
 
 Declude might be able to scan the \drop folder then call CDONTS.SYS for
 outbound processing.

  Here's a thought - what about a Declude mail server?
 
  It sounds like a great idea, but it would also be a huge
  undertaking.  By the time we had something ready, it could be
  too late.
 
  What makes everyone think that Declude won't work with Ipswitch ICS?
 
  It almost certainly will.  I think the concern is that about
  90% of our customers will likely not be upgrading to ICS.
 
  It's Declude holding me on this line. But even Declude
  showed certain
  things I can see now with IPSwitch/ICS. It's not completely the same
  story but customers in both cases are left in the dark and feel
  patronized by new features (colaboration, MTLD) they not realy need.
 
  We will likely have more answers very soon.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] MS SMTP

2004-10-26 Thread Andy Schmidt
Correct - ORF is using various event sinks to do REAL connection time checks
(!) as well as content checking AFTER message receipt
(http://www.vamsoft.com/orf/).  

I'd love to see Declude and Sniffer ported to that environment...

But, I agree - I would also go for a sendmail port for Windows.  I rather
pay CH for a dumb mail server that drives Declude and Sniffer - than pay
Ipswitch to repurchase 8.13 with a bundle of solutions for which I have no
need.

I see no harm in staying with Imail for another year, while CH comes up with
something more focused to the actual task.

1 in 500,000?  That's fantastic.  I think that qualifies for the anti-spam 
guru of the week award!
heh, that is no exageration either, it is mainly due to spending alot of 
time in looking at false positives and finding ways to prevent them. For 
example use filtering to look for legit mail, the attached filter file runs 
before all other filters, it contains things that I found in false 
positives. This file is my number one false positive eliminator, my second 
method is test the hell out of any significant changes first. I do have the 
luxury of having to only filter for one company and I can be fairly 
restrictive

I will see if I can get my configs somewhere for download, I am willing to 
share my work because I hate spam and spammers so much... man do i hate

[Declude.JunkMail] Ipswitch/Imail...

2004-10-26 Thread Mark E. Smith
I would recommend that all contract owners call Ipswith to voice their
concerns.
I told them that we've paid for 4 professional contracts which were supposed
to get us support, fixes, AND major upgrades.
Considering we've never called for support, and now that they've decided to
discontinue Imail, I wanted a refund.
Furthermore, I was quite irritated that no warning was given to the user
base about this transition.

For example, let's just say that we wanted to upgrade, we had no warning so
that we could budget for this in 2005.

I got the impression that I wasn't the only pissed off customer...

 MS  SMTP  has  what  is  called Event Sink hook, where a hook can be

And  I  have an MS SMTP event sink that calls Sniffer and SPAMC32. I'm
working  on  integrating  Declude's  SUBJECT,  WARN,  HOLD, and DELETE

However,  it  is single-threaded, which is of course unacceptable; I'm

[Declude.JunkMail] Declude and Ipswitch ICS

2004-10-26 Thread Barry Simpson








By now
most of you will have seen the recent announcement by Ipswitch of their product
repackaging. Like you, we are disappointed by their decision to effectively
impose a price increase to their base product offerings and to burden existing
and future customers who appreciate the advantages of purchasing the Declude
suite of applications.

To all our customers including the many hundreds of you who contacted us
yesterday by phone, email, support system and the JunkMail and Virus lists we
can assure you that Declude will not abandon you and we will continue to
deliver and enhance Declude, or as one customer described it yesterday,
the best single feature of IMail! 

We had hoped to make this announcement when we had a definitive delivery date
but the 2 additional versions of Declude that will address this situation are
in the development mill. We are not able to provide more information at the
present time but we will keep you up-to-date with specific information as it
becomes available. 

We thank our loyal customers and partners for their support.

CBL:RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and Ipswitch ICS

2004-10-26 Thread Markus Gufler



Hi Barry,

So you're recommendation for the moment is to keep on IMail 
until you're ready with something else?

Is this the right way for the following 
situation:
Running IMail unlimited and Declude Junkmail Pro and Virus 
Pro.

What if we've out an offer for two other such boxes? 

Beside the problem that we have to procure somewhere two v8 
licenses, what about Declude licenses?
Should we buy 2 x JM Pro and 2 x Virus Pro? 

After ?? months what's your offer for switch to a 
standalone license?

If it willnot be a standalone product, I expect 
Declude will support another or some other mailservers. With date 2004-10-26 I'm 
looking for a new Mailserver. But if the new licenses of Declude will have the 
same pricing level as at the moment the most important point in the decision 
table will be: Is this MTA supporting Declude?

So I hope you understand what I mean: I realy want continue 
with Declude but at the moment with the current information it's not very easy 
to plan something.

God I feelt exactly this situation some months ago, and it 
was this feeling urging me to make some uncomfortable 
questions.
In Germany people say: "Now the shit is 
steaming"

RE: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and Ipswitch ICS

2004-10-26 Thread Barry Simpson








Marcus,



We recognized early on that relying on one
email partner would be a mistake. To that end we had started this new
development prior to any knowledge of the recent Ipswitch announcement.



Our immediate goal is to produce a gateway
version of Declude that will be downloadable and work within the Windows
environment. A gateway version of Declude enables our software to be compatible
with any mail server. At the present time we do not anticipate any additional
costs for existing customers in good standing (i.e. customers who have a valid service
agreement) who wish to switch to the new software.



In the event that we add new modules to
our suite of software these may be chargeable in the future. It is not our
intention to force to customers purchase more software than they need and our
modular pricing reflects this.



We are working just as fast as we can to
get something out the door that will in effect be MTA independent.



Regards



Barry

Hi Barry,



So you're recommendation for the moment is
to keep on IMail until you're ready with something else?



Is this the right way for the following
situation:

Running IMail unlimited and Declude
Junkmail Pro and Virus Pro.



What if we've out an offer for two other
such boxes? 

Beside the problem that we have to procure
somewhere two v8 licenses, what about Declude licenses?

Should we buy 2 x JM Pro and 2 x Virus
Pro? 

After ?? months what's your offer for
switch to a standalone license?



If it willnot be a standalone
product, I expect Declude will support another or some other mailservers. With
date 2004-10-26 I'm looking for a new Mailserver. But if the new licenses of
Declude will have the same pricing level as at the moment the most important point
in the decision table will be: Is this MTA supporting Declude?



So I hope you understand what I mean: I
realy want continue with Declude but at the moment with the current information
it's not very easy to plan something.



God I feelt exactly this situation some
months ago, and it was this feeling urging me to make some uncomfortable
questions.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] MS SMTP

2004-10-26 Thread Matt
Andy,
Let me add my 2 cents about MS SMTP and expose some of my thought 
process on related things.

We also use ORF, but only for address validation during the SMTP 
connection, although we could also selectively blacklist with it if we 
wanted to, and probably would sometime in the future.  What concerns me 
with MS SMTP is how to handle HOLD E-mail.  MS uses a system with 
encoded files, two of them in fact, that represent what is effectively 
our Q* file in IMail containing all of the recipient and Mail From 
information.  The event sync doesn't require reading these files since 
the data is shared with the app without needing to read the files 
directly (as far as I can tell), but if you place these files in hold 
somewhere, it would be difficult to read them.  This might also cause 
some issues with external applications that might make use of the Q* 
files to read the recipient information, which is something that I have 
personally been working on since it is impracticable to pass this 
information to an external application by way of a command line argument 
being that some of it is too long for that (multiple recipients).  So it 
would appear that without the ability to access a Q* type of data 
element, an external app would have some difficulty.  Declude could 
however create this file on the fly and then destroy it.

So when a message is 'held' in MS SMTP, you seemingly lose the original 
recipient information, and this is critical to our system for 
reprocessing blocked messages.  This seems to set up a situation where 
every blocked message would need to be redirected to a different mail 
server, where you might configure a separate capture routine necessary 
for handling held messages, but it would seem that MS SMTP would only be 
capable of actions like SUBJECT, HEADERS, BOUNCE and DELETE, with BLOCK 
being done in some cases before the message is received like ORF can do 
on envelope information.

What ORF has done is definitely very nice albeit very limited at the 
moment.  The fact that they can take action based on blacklists and 
recipient information before the data is even sent is wonderful since 
you could tarball and drop connections for obvious spam without hardly 
any processing power, and then you could virus scan and filter whatever 
might be left over saving a ton of overhead in a system.  I only worry 
about how to integrate some sort of HOLD or COPYFILE capability, though 
I'm not concerned if that needs to be done on a separate mail system.

Personally, I have no interest in a Declude mail server.  I don't 
expect a few programmers to be able to program an entire mail server 
effectively, and that would be limiting to their customer base.  What is 
really needed is a Declude plug-in to an MTA that may or may not be your 
mail server as well.  MS SMTP and Postfix are the two most obvious 
candidates.  I thought they would steer clear of Postfix being that 
people that choose it have the option of installing Spam Assassin for 
free, and we are certainly considering that ourselves, even before the 
Ipswitch developments.  I wouldn't mind leveraging my Windows knowledge 
with MS SMTP where commercial software is king, and I am comfortable 
enough with Declude to give that a shot should it come.

I am very worried about what is to come regardless.  As you have seen, 
even companies like Ipswitch can turn around and pull the rug right out 
from under you, and despite almost 6 months of hints about another 
platform, Declude won't even tell us what platforms they are targeting, 
and straight answers are harder to come by these days (such as resolving 
clear and obvious issues with vulnerabilities).  The Ipswitch move makes 
my aversion to these things grow.  By in large I like Declude's 
functionality, but I can't afford having too many more liabilities like 
Ipswitch, in fact it is going to be hard to stomach the Ipswitch 
liability after I just dumped a ton of money into servers and a ton of 
development time into my filtering and external applications.  My 
overall investment in my mail services is about $15,000 and thousands of 
man hours, and I needed more time for that to pay off, but now it will 
cost me more and further development in the current platform will be at 
least to some extent wasted.  That's very unfortunate considering that I 
haven't even had a 'hard launch' of my service as yet due to delays in 
upgrading my capacity.

I don't want to make any brash decisions, so I am going to give it some 
time before I write anything in stone.  I may choose to move my mail 
hosting first since that isn't necessarily tied to the spam and virus 
blocking.  This also means buying yet another server, something that I 
am not at all happy about.  If I buy another server, I can almost 
guarantee that it will be linux.  I'm sick of being burned by companies 
in the pursuit of higher profits over honor.

Barry, that's the first time that someone from your company has even

is very important to your users that are contemplating changes. Would
it be presumptuous of me to ask if you are at least going to target MS
SMTP being that it is Windows? This seems obvious, so you might as
well let it be known just to clear the air.

Please don't hold back on releasing information like this even though
it is currently vaporware, because it does matter. If you are

 There's been an almost hysterical reaction to the ICS announcement. 
 ...

Yes I know that my server will not stop working a certain day only because
the SA expires.

But what if there will happen something like a new MS Update that I must
implement but will kill imail functionality. You know this has happened and
you know this can theoretically happen also tomorrow. Not to talk about the
case a new vulnerability is discovered. 

We have several thousands mailbox users spread al around the internet. This
people are paying us for the service and I fear thay will do the same thing
with me as I will do with Ipswitch if it will realy become as nobody wants.

In the meantime it's important that as many people as possible will place
their opinion about IPSwitch's strategy because there is still no logic
explanation for what they have done. 

What IPSwitch is doing is simply suicide, nothing else. Try to immagine
you're working in a company that does the same thing as IPSwitch this days.
At the moment I'm aware of what's happening I'm the first one of talking
with people in my company and at least ask what they plan to do with me if
the strategy will not work. I guess wife and children are not realy
interested how many (or few?) customers will buy colaboration software if
the income goes down or becomes zero.

There may not be show stopper bug right now but what if a vunrability is
discovered. IPSwitch will not necessarly create the patch for an older
version. They may say update to ICS it does not have the vunrability???

I do not expect all IMail installations to dump IMail because of this but
many of us will not renew our service agreements by being forced to upgrade.
And when time comes for new features like port 587 or SPF support. Current
imail admins will look for other mail server software at a more reasonable
price.

This is a shock to us all and in many opinions bad business on IPSwitches
part.

Re[2]: [Declude.JunkMail] MS SMTP

2004-10-26 Thread Sanford Whiteman
 if you place these files in hold somewhere, it would be difficult to
 read   them.

You don't hold the files in MS' queue format, you hold them in RFC 822
raw, which then can be dropped into the pickup directory as desired.

 it  is  impracticable  to  pass  this  information  to  an  external
 application  by way of a command line argument being that some of it
 is  too long for that (multiple recipients).

Well,  that's  really  the  same  with the present architecture. We're
lucky  that  IMail uses the Q file, but we could just as easily create
it, as you note. An advanced Declude plug-in architecture would simply
be  loaded  as  a DLL, meaning that command-line data would instead be
passed as a function param.

 So  when  a  message  is  'held'  in MS SMTP, you seemingly lose the
 original  recipient information...

No,  only  if  you  choose  to.  I have no problem retaining the recip
information in an off-line file.

There's  no  technical prohibition on HOLD or COPYTO equivalents under
MS SMTP. It just takes a specialized approach.

 Personally,  I  have no interest in a Declude mail server.

I  certainly  agree  with  you there! MS SMTP is so powerful that it's
amazing that MS gives it away.

Hi Matt:

I also plan to take a wait and see approach before deciding which software
will replace Imail.

CH will offer a standalone gateway product, which is neat - but it doesn't
address the need to have to find a new POP/IMAP/HTTPmail server at some
point in the future.  If CH will eventually recommend another Windows mail
server package that they will integrate with, I would give this a very
serious consideration.

Generally, I'm not in panic. I am comfortable that there are packaged
solutions out there that sound like they'll do the job.  I would definitely
miss Declude. However, this time I will not rule out the possibility that I
will actually learn Linux.

for handling held messages, but it would seem that MS SMTP would only be 
capable of actions like SUBJECT, HEADERS, BOUNCE and DELETE, with BLOCK 
being done in some cases before the message is received like ORF can do 
on envelope information.

What ORF has done is definitely very nice albeit very limited at the 
moment.  The fact that they can take action based on blacklists and 
recipient information before the data is even sent is wonderful since 
you could tarball and drop connections for obvious spam without hardly 
any processing power, and then you could virus scan and filter whatever 
might be left over saving a ton of overhead in a system.  I only worry 
about how to integrate some sort of HOLD or COPYFILE capability, though 
I'm not concerned if that needs to be done on a separate mail system.

Personally, I have no interest in a Declude mail server.  I don't 
expect a few programmers to be able to program an entire mail server 
effectively, and that would be limiting to their customer base.  What is 
really needed is a Declude plug-in to an MTA that may or may not be your 
mail server as well.  MS SMTP and Postfix are the two most obvious 
candidates.  I thought they would steer clear of Postfix being that 
people that choose it have the option of installing Spam Assassin for 
free, and we are certainly considering that ourselves, even before the 
Ipswitch developments.  I wouldn't mind leveraging my Windows knowledge 
with MS SMTP where commercial software is king, and I am comfortable 
enough with Declude to give that a shot should it come.

I am very worried about what is to come regardless.  As you have seen, 
even companies like Ipswitch can turn around and pull the rug right out 
from under you, and despite almost 6 months of hints about another 
platform, Declude won't even tell us what platforms they are targeting, 
and straight answers are harder to come by these days (such as resolving 
clear and obvious issues with vulnerabilities).  The Ipswitch move makes 
my aversion to these things grow.  By in large I like Declude's 
functionality, but I can't afford having too many more liabilities like 
Ipswitch, in fact it is going to be hard to

I  certainly  agree  with  you there! MS SMTP is so powerful that it's
amazing that MS "gives" it away.
  


Shh! The next thing you know it will cost $6,000 to upgrade that
as well :)

Regarding your comments about recipient information, I do hope that IF
Declude is targeting MS SMTP, that they take note of the need for

Re: CBL:RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and Ipswitch ICS

2004-10-26 Thread Matt




As far as a new mail server platform goes, it will be necessary for us
to have something that allows you to block all non-AUTH connections and
only allow specific IP addresses. We need to make sure that spammers
don't bypass the gateway and do direct delivery. IMail is currently
incapable of this without a product like Declude to run cleanup. IMail
can't be stopped from accepting any locally addressed E-mail.

It also seems that in order to keep our customers protected, it will be
necessary to have virus scanning on the actual mail server and not the
gateway, or at least not just the gateway.

I'm confident that Postfix and Sendmail can do that, but I'm not clear
on what Windows-based servers might allow for turning off unauthorized
SMTP connections to hosted addresses. Having real port 587
functionality for AUTH-only and blocking port 25 connections at the
router would be suitable, but it seems that while everyone is rushing
to support SPF, no one (mail server companies) seems to care about port
587 AUTH-only which, IMO, is more important to push at this stage.

I do not expect all IMail installations to dump IMail because of this but
many of us will not renew our service agreements by being forced to upgrade.
And when time comes for new features like port 587 or SPF support. Current
imail admins will look for other mail server software at a more reasonable
price.

This is a shock to us all and in many opinions bad business on IPSwitches
part.

That's really the most common sense approach, isn't it?

There's been an almost hysterical reaction to the ICS announcement.
People have right to be angry  disappointed over it; but traffic on he

lot of money -- I'm buying something else right now".   If GM decided to
only make Cadillacs, does that mean your Chevy is suddenly un-drivable?
Your exiting iMail installation isn't going to stop working just because
your service agreement ran out.  I mean, are there really any "show

Of course, we have a poly-chromatic equine if you are (or will be) in
the market for additional server licenses.  In that case, it would be
prudent to look at some competitor's offerings (Verio, Merak, others).
Maybe you'll even find one you like better than iMail.  As for losing
Declude, that's not really an issue.  Even if Computerized Horizons
takes 6 months to come out with an iMail independent Declude version
(which I am certain they are working on), you could still use a small
server running the iMail 8.xx  declude that you already own as an SMTP
relay for all the new boxes.

Re: CBL:RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and Ipswitch ICS

2004-10-26 Thread Mailing Lists
That is exactly the point, and in my experience with Ipswitch when a fix is 
found they just ask to upgrade to their newest version rather than updating 
their older releases.

Now this worked fine for us in the old days (i.e. prior to ICS).
So let us assume that in February 2005 I have a 1) valid Imail service 
agreement and 2) I patch my server with a Windows hotfix which breaks 
something in Imail. Now what will Ipswitch do? A) Release a fix  or B) ask 
us to upgrade to ICS.

That is the issue and that is why the high level of concern.
Of course things will work, until they break and that is why you want to be 
working on a platform that still is actively being supported.

So if email is a critical component of your business, which I assume it is, 
then I suggest you either decide to upgrade sooner or later or look for an 
alternative to Imail.

Personally we have made our decision to move away from Imail and are 
evaluating other products. Mailenable and Smarterools both have a migration 
util, I actually demo'd the SmarterTools migration util and works great so 
we will see...

What IPSwitch is doing is simply suicide, nothing else. Try to immagine

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Determining a BCC Recipient

2004-10-26 Thread Matt
Rick,
This information is in the Q* file.  If you use the COPYFILE action, it 
will keep both the D* and the Q* file.  The only issue is that the 
Declude headers are lost and each message is kept separately and not 
viewable without a special application like spamreview.  IMO, this is 
appropriate for archiving due to legal requirement, but not for doing 
review.

If you want to handle this in a different way by just sending to a 
mailbox, you can use a WARN action with the %ALLRECIPS% variable which 
will contain the BCC addresses as well.  For instance, you could do the 
following:

TESTNAMEWARN X-RECIPIENTS: %ALLRECIPS%
This of course exposes the BCC info to all that might view the headers.

For us this may be a blessing in disguise.  I purchased a SA last Friday the
22nd and I am glad I did.  Anyway as an  ISP we have been thinking of
changing our mail system anyway.  Declude does need to look at a gateway
type of product.  We have been seriously looking into something like
Barracuda just because we could use one gateway for several servers.  I
think that Ipswitch is going the wrong way - yes there is a market for
collaboration software but it is not for everyone.  To not sell the stand
alone server is going to be a blow to them.  By the time they realize their
mistake it may be too late.

Just my two cents on the subject.

Their antispam is made of blacklists (you can add your own as well) and

I am still trying to understand their AV but multiple scanners are not

I'll bet that Declude will be supporting a lot of platforms in the

that can use what Declude has.

I know that we will continue to push for better integration in all of
the platforms we support. Wherever we can, we will drag them along with
us ;-)

MailEnable is another interesting target I was looking at today. It's
so open (apparently) that it should be possible to do extremely
sophisticated things with it. I've got stuff on my short list that
will keep me away from it, but I'll bet that's one of the next
platform interfaces we will build. (Any other suggestions let me know
- our goal is to have a very wide audience!)

Then there are all of the open source packages out there... Nothing
says these can't be repackaged into a tightly integrated, easily installed
distribution with a few proprietary plug-ins thrown in for good
measure... that's a big undertaking though, so it will come later
(when, not if: somebody has to do it - maybe Postfix + Courier +
ClamAV + ... for example. Sniffer already runs on postfix (even better
soon). It shouldn't be hard for Declude to get there.).

Gateway software, appliances, MTA integration (Postfix, QMail, MS
SMTP, etc...), Email platforms - SmartMail, MailEnable, ...

Lots of opportunities, lots of smart folks in the community and inside
Declude, nothing to worry about. Perhaps this IMail thing was just the
knock needed to shove things into high gear.

Imagine having your choice of virtually any email platform to run with
Declude (and Sniffer of course G) ... I'll bet it happens before
long.

Well... back to work with me...

MG By now  most of you will have seen the recent
MG announcement by Ipswitch of their  product repackaging. Like
MG you, we are disappointed by their decision to  effectively
MG impose a price increase to their base product offerings and to
MG burden existing and future customers who appreciate the advantages
MG of  purchasing the Declude suite of applications.

MG To all our customers  including the many hundreds of you
MG who contacted us yesterday by phone,  email, support system
MG and the JunkMail and Virus lists we can assure you  that
MG Declude will not abandon you and we will continue to deliver and  
MG enhance Declude, or as one customer described it yesterday, “the
MG best single  feature of IMail!” 

MG We had hoped to make this announcement when we  had a
MG definitive delivery date but the 2 additional versions of Declude
MG that  will address this situation are in the development mill.
MG We are not able to  provide more information at the present
MG time but we will keep you up-to-date  with specific
MG information as it becomes available. 

MG We thank our  loyal customers and partners for their support.

MG If any of you have  specific questions please feel free
MG to contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Pete,

Sorry for wasting band-width.

I've been trying desperately to reach you via the Sniffer List, direct
emails - even using my wife's Hotmail account.

I'm unable to solicit any reply for quite some time.  Could you please check
whether you are blocking mail from my mail servers?

Best Regards

Re[5]: CBL:RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and Ipswitch ICS

2004-10-26 Thread Alex
 Jason,
 I've been using both Mailenable Pro and SmarterMail so I'll give my input
 and hope it helps.
 Personally I would love to see Declude in both products and it seems
 to be viable since both allow third party hooks (especially
 mailenable.

sl Just  looking  at the screen shot for the
sl SmarterTools  Mail  product,  that doesn't look that flexible to me on
sl killing spam.  They say they scan viruses but can't find out how.

They have per domain settings (generic) 3 different weight settings with
different actions and then per user setings that can (if enabled)
override the per domain. Spam tests are done on blacklists that you
specify as a server admin (with a specified weight for each) and bayesean filtering.
In addition to that (and I've found most of my users don't use them)
they have content filtering in a seperate area so users (or domains)
can setup specific content filters based on from, header, body etc.

One thing I do like is that you can blacklist servers for too many
errors (mailenable does the same thing), block Ip's for x minutes if
they check pop too often etc.

It's not as good as declude of course but if declude could plug in it
would be great - allowing a nice user interface and the best
spam/virus around.

As far as virus scanning it's VERY basic - you have to set a delivery
delay on the spool and real-time scan it with a virus scanner that can
delete messages. We use trend server protect and it works ok. (again
declude please...)

Another cool feature of smartermail is a second (free 1domain) copy
can act as a backup MX for the primary without having to duplicate
domains or users. It's very basic right now but hopefully it will just
get better.

sl MailEnable  ... they say they do MailEnable Anti-Virus and then they
sl have Enhanced Anti-Spam facilities but what does that mean?

Well the enhanced anti-spam is for the entire server (enterprise
edition in rc does per user) it's really just blacklists and blocking
IP's with too many errors. They do have plugins to use third party
products like snmita and spammassasin though - definately needs
declude:)

Mailenable's virus scanning is nicer than SmarterMails as you call the
scanner for each message in a similar way to declude now, you can also
have it use multiple scanners. I have my servers using server protect
then f-prot and it does a pretty good job and offloads a lot from my
Imail/Declude server.

In my opinion both mail servers are very nice and actively updated but
Declude is what they both(and I guess all mail servers) are missing.
I do have a big preference with SmarterMail over Imail or Mailenable
though after using all 3 in production for some time.
