Hello Sniffer Folks,

We are working on testing and improving direct integration options 
with Smarter Mail.


Shamelessly responding to my own post, I thought I would point out:

You do not need to re-install Message Sniffer to test this option. If 
you already have Message Sniffer installed then you can access it with 
SNFClient already.


There is no need to disturb what you've already got running except 
perhaps to adjust how you are responding to what SNF finds.


Best,

I'd be willing to take a shot at it in the dead of the night (when spam
ratio is high) and if we get through that in production during the day.  Is
there any failsafe in place to remove it from the loop if it detects it is
not performing as expected?

Pete,

This is great news!   It would also be a better option if you are able to 
work with smarterTools directly and see about getting sniffer integrated as 
a built in call when enabled.  SmarterTools added an option for declude 
integration a few years back and we have been waiting for a true integration 
within smarterMail.  Your solution will work for some, but we would require 
it to be built in vs the cmd line option as we use that for other software 
processing currently.

Nothing special is in place (nothing automatic).
SNFClient fails safe (returns 0) after 30 seconds or so if it cannot 
connect to SNFServer.

That almost never happens though.

Taking it out of the loop should be as easy as unchecking the box.

Pete,

Strictly speaking, this is not new... But, somehow, it's been overlooked.
We are interested in improving this option as much as possible and 
looking into other options too.


   It would also be a better option if you are able to work with 
smarterTools directly and see about getting sniffer integrated as a 
built in call when enabled.


We would love to do that.

Please ask them about it so that they know their customers are 
interested in this !!
We are ready to work with them to develop a tight integration with SNF 
whenever they are ready to go with it.
We will also continue to contact them about this (we have several times 
already).

Your solution will work for some, but we would require it to be built

currently.


What are the chances the command line option could be multiplexed in 
your case?

Would that solve the problem?

[sniffer] Re: Direct SmarterMail integration -- Some Testers ?

2010-06-09 Thread Mxuptime.com
Folks,

Having integrated Sniffer into MxScan for SmarterMail, I would like to
shared some of my thoughts :

1. From what I can see at the moment neither Commtouch nor Declude has
direct hooks into the SMTP sessions. Any integration at SMTP session level
would definitely require some changes from SmarterMail's end.

2. The PROC folder is basically another way for 3rd party utilities to
interface to the MTA, however take note this happens after the SMTP session
has been completed and NOT during.

3.  The command line option works but as someone pointed out earlier it is
also being used by other 3rd party apps/processes for customer jobs. While
it would be possible to encapsulate all 3rd party command line applications
using a script it would be not be ideal. SM command line also has its own
timeout settings. It tends to get message when u have more than 1 command
line application in use.

Cheers
-Matt

I'd definitely favor B.  Sniffer is so good at what it does that there is
some real potential there depending on the degree to which you integrate
with the SM anti-spam features like SMTP blocking for example.  This would
take some real work of course.

We're asked about it frequently, and since the command line option 
already exists it's worth fleshing out a bit.

We've avoided building an interface for the proc hooks because:

A. There are already solutions there for that (as you point out).

B. We would really like to see a much tighter integration with SM that 
can take full advantage (during SMTP, not after).

If enough folks are interested in a proc hook based implementation of 
SNF then we will do it, of course.
