We have our smtp server running Declude with the Percent test enabled (with a weight large enough to hold the message).
Good. :)
That is normal -- that's how the "%" hack is supposed to work. In the old days, you could have an address such as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". The mailserver of someone sending you mail would accept the address of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", connect to my_isp.com's mailserver, and send the E-mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". my_isp.com's mailserver would then send the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]The smtp server is then forwarding the emails to our pop server (no declude). The strange thing is that the first @ sign is replaced by % by the smtp server before sending it to the pop server (both the smtp and pop are running Imail 5.09).
Since IMail is acting as a gateway, it doesn't know what the my_isp.com mailserver (a local mailserver of yours) will accept. Maybe it wants to be able to accept mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so IMail sends it on to the my_isp.com mailserver. Unfortunately, the my_isp.com mailserver sees an E-mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (an outgoing E-mail), but thinks that it came from a trusted source (the IMail server), so it sends it.
That is likely why the email is not failing the Percent test on the smtp server.Note that you should use both the \IMail\Declude\global.cfg file and \IMail\Declude\$default$.JunkMail files for determining how to handle these E-mails. I would recommend using "PERCENT HOLD" in both files, unless you have a good reason to use the %" in valid E-mail.
