Kami,

It would be best to either whitelist that IP, or add to the file another END statement for this IP (REMOTEIP).

John's suggestion will work, however it could produce unintended results because Declude will act as if there is no IP address. If IMail is generating the message, I see no reason why you shouldn't whitelist it.

I'm also a bit surprised that IMail will send these notifications through Declude instead of bypassing it like they do with many of their other system notifications.

The next time Ipswitch asks you for money to upgrade their AV solution, send the check to Scott instead :)

I am curious about this since we recently ran into this issue.

It seems like now IMail (with version 8.x) sends the virus notices to
Declude with IP: 127.0.0.1 and no reverse DNS.

What that has done in our system is the virus alerts were being caught as
spam with high weight.  I exchanged some email with Scott and he was the one
that pointed these out.

Before we had our own REVDNS whitelisted but now we had to add some of the
signatures of Declude virus to our negative file to compensate for the
filters.

Some of your words in the filter will cause issues with the new behavior of
IMail 8.

Any thoughts?

Kami

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] ANTI-AV for forged virus bounces

Here's a quickie (not really) filter that was cobbed together from my own
system as well as a good deal of input from Andrew and some from Kami and
Nick as well (thanks).

This filter is coded for JunkMail Pro v1.77i7+, if you are running an
earlier version, you can remove the MAXWEIGHT, SKIPIFWEIGHT and END lines
that appear in the file and it should work fine.  Note that this file is
scored for a system that holds on a 10 and deletes on a 25 (or equivalants
of spamliness).  It will detect many different mail server AV products, as
well as some desktop ones, that send notifications out to the percieved
sender as well as ones that attempt to clean the infected file.  The goal is
to turn this stuff off without breaking legitimate notifications.  This
filter does not attempt to block banned extensions notifications, though
I'll probably code a different filter for that eventually so that it can be
turned on (HOLD action) during times of need.

ANTI-AV v1.0.0
