Don't know how much to trust it, but MS states that their SMTP service is designeg so that you cna build third party filters then use it to forward to your other servers, I believe you can even use rules in the filters to forward to different servers. Might be worth a look. Might even be a way to make Declude work with other mail servers.

I don't like the current solution - but it certainly is a big improvement over NOT having ANYTHING. The proxy solution sounds worse than it is. Declude wouldn't have to implement the SMTP protocol at all - since it will simply forward packets to/from Imail. All it does is inspect the IP header to get the sender's IP - and, if necessary, will drop the connection to Imail and reply with an error code to the sender.

As I understand it, messages coming in to iMail are processed thusly: 1) iMail Kill File (kill.lst) 2) Declude Virus 3) Declude JunkMail 4) iMail's filters So there's no practical way to kill or delete messages based on body or header text before it gets processed by Declude JunkMail, and I can only use the SMTP MAIL FROM: field to delete mail before it gets to the filters. Is this correct? I've been looking to fine tune the system and, for example, I'd like to delete anything referencing Viagra in the subject line. What's happening is that they get caught by Declude JunkMail and I have to deal with them manually, where iMail's filters can handle what I want to remove but the messages never make it there.
