Scott, Essentially all I am doing is acting as a gateway for another domain. This way they can utilize the virus scanning and spam detection we have in place.
What I am trying to implement is called "Acting as a gateway for domains on other servers" in the manual. Now from the manual and what you indicated I need to setup per domain configuration for this domain to get around the describe behavior (Declude would treat the mail as outgoing). Now the manual says this under the Acting as a gateway for domains on other servers heading - "The only catch as far as Declude JunkMail is concerned is that IMail will treat the E-mail to the gateway domain as outgoing mail, since it is not stored on the IMail server. Therefore, by default, the outgoing actions in the \IMail\Declude\global.cfg file will be used. To get around this, you can set up per-domain configuration files for the gateway domains." However, when looking at the per domain configuration it does not say anything about copying in the global config where the outgoing tests are specified. Can you explain this in a little more depth to me? Also, since you mentioned that Declude will only scan the email once. The behavior I am seeing now is that the message intended for the remote domain is being scanned inbound. Now if I enabled outgoing scanning - would it not process that mail again because it was already scanned inbound? Would it use the information it already gathered from the first scan? To summarize. In addition to scanning all inbound mail for my local domains, I want to filter mail for this domain that I am a gateway for. Scott I hope this makes sense...

Declude JunkMail will only scan an E-mail once. E-mail can be very confusing because every E-mail handled by a mailserver is technically incoming E-mail (as in the IMail server receives it from somewhere else), whereas some of those are local deliveries and some are remote deliveries. In any case, an E-mail should only be scanned once by Declude (unless it arrives more than once). >2.) If I can't override the default behavior, can I setup per domain >outgoing processing for just this domain - even though this domain does >not exist on this mail server? Yes, but not the way I think you want. You can set up per-domain settings for the *recipient* domain. But, you can't set up per-domain settings for the *sender* domain. In this case, I'm guessing you would want the per-user settings for the sender domain, which isn't possible (remember, spammers love to use the same return address as the "To:" address). >3.) If it is possible to setup per domain filtering for this domain even >though it does not exist on this server, Should I whitelist the incoming >mail so it doesn't go through all those checks? Or is Whitelisting >global in regards that it applies to both incoming and outgoing mail? The whitelisting applies to whatever type of whitelist it is. For example, "WHITELIST IP 192.0.2.25" will whitelist E-mail coming from 192.0.2.25, no matter whether it is incoming or outgoing E-mail. >Please advise on what you think would be the best course of action here. The ultimate problem seems to be that the backup mailserver isn't really a backup mailserver -- it seems to accept all E-mail, and send it out. If the backup mailserver accepts an E-mail, sends it to the primary mailserver, and then the primary mailserver sends it out to a remote location, you probably have a problem. Unless there is a good reason for this (for example, forwarding on the primary mailserver that is causing the E-mail to be sent to a remote location), you are running an open relay on the backup mailserver. -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
