I have been making time for it. I made it my priority project, got tired of customers complaining about spam, and as an ISP, coming up with middle ground spam settings is difficult at best. Always someone not happy with how strict or loose settings are, and I don't want to spend my days adjusting and policing settings.
Could you elaborate more on the controls you are talking about, the posted version is my latest code, and I sometimes plan something and get side tracked. I am only polling the Dial-up customers accounts, about 3500 of them, it is about a one second spike in processor usage every two minutes (the default interval, can be longer or shorter). The interface is designed to check the existance of an account set up in Xmail, so it is possible to make the system an opt-in or opt-out service. I changed my $default$.junkmail file to use MAILBOX action in place of all my HOLD actions as part of the transition to the new system, and I was holding about 20K+ messages per day. I run Xmail on the same server as Imail, and I only have to worry about postmaster messages clogging up the system, and Iwebmsg running amok about once a month, I've have yet to see Xmail choke the server. Now it has only been processing all accounts for a week, but I am watching it. I am running on a P4 1.8Ghz with 512MB RAM, on IDE drives, in case you are wondering.

Better than last time I looked at it. Looks like we are both building on a lot of the same concepts/ideas, but you have more time to work with! :) I don't see some of the control you mention within your menus, are you still developing, or is there another interface which isnt' available to the public? I have only 1 real question for you. > XMail uses POP3Link polling to tranfer messages from users spam folder to XMail as a spam queue So you are pulling every single account for spam messages to move them to your other server? Can you expand on this for me? I would like to setup something similar to where I can delete by date as well, but with about 20k accounts, polling each one is not feasible. -Tom -----Original Message----- From: Charles Frolick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 10:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Imail Web Based Interface I just posted asp source to my app which is similar in concept to Tom's, except it also has a spambox to manage held spam for the user. I know some people have looked at it, but I haven't received any feedback yet. It aollows for management of the spam messages separate from Imail's aging since it does not store the messages in Imail. So if you are like me and only have size limitations on your mailboxes, and cannot revert to clearing old messages automatically, the separate spambox can have aged messages, and the size limits on the original mailbox are not affected by spam.

It's just a little trick I did to verify the identity of the user. My whitelist/blacklists are so very simple... I'm actually not using declude's whitelists/blacklists... Those work via IMAIL's rules.ima Any "approved" senders first. [rules.ima] F~[EMAIL PROTECTED]:MAIN ( sends any mail from approved-sender to main mailbox, stop's processing rules on that message ) Then any black lists F~[EMAIL PROTECTED]:NUL ( just deletes mail without any trace ) Then my weight-rule based on what level the client chose (header check) H~X-SpamLevel-Low:SPAM And of course in $default$.junkmail LOW WARN X-SpamLevel-Low: This message triggered the "low" spam test MEDIUM WARN X-SpamLevel-Medium: This message triggered the "medium" spam test HIGH WARN X-SpamLevel-High: This message triggered the "high" spam test And [global.cfg] HIGH weightrange x x 1 15 MEDIUM weightrange x x 16 25 LOW weight x x 26 0 I am actually finishing up a revision that gives my users a way of "syncronizing" their approved senders lists to their IMAIL address book, and lets them upload/download their IMAIL address book so they can syncronize it with Outlook Express. When I first started this concept I posted my source to the list, but have not updated that source in quite some time. Some of the source is specific to my system (because of the billing system integaration), but most of what you need is contained within just a couple of .cfm's. I will send you them off list this afternoon. -Tom -----Original Message----- From: Cxan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 01, 2002 9:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Imail Web Based Interface Tom, This is exactly what I am talking about. I noticed that you used Cold Fusion and that is what our developers use. The idea that I have is extremely close to what you have done. I will search the archive to find your documentation. For the approved and black list did you use a table SQL database. I am assuming that you are not saving your Imail user database in the registry. The reason I ask is I am leaving our Imail user database just as it is (the default) but yet we created a SQL table for whitelist/blacklist information. It is very much a table that holds the rules for per domain or per user email address. This way the users can very much populate this database using interfaces very similar and almost identical to your interface. In addition I wrote a external program in Visual Basic that is call by Declude. queries this table for each incoming email and makes decision and contributes to Decludes weighting system based on the rules stated in the database . That is mainly why I love the design and ideas behind Declude. I was wondering if it is possible to get a copy of your .cfm files and modify them?
