Darrel,

Because, we now have control of the SMTP we are able to do things like drop
the connection on bad IP' instead of processing the entire email. We have a
feature called block list which essentially tracks the weights of emails
from an IP and then adds them to a block list this helps reduce a large
amount of unwanted traffic to the email server.

Eg.

1. Set the weight for this test 40
2. Set the number of offences 3
3. Set the expire 14

This means that if Declude recieves 3 emails over a weight of 40 it will
automatically be added to the blocklist (ie. Drop on smtp connect) if no
further emails are recived from that IP it will expire in 14 days.

Also the GUI add's the ability to automate the creation of per-user and
per-domain configurations, giving the user or domain admin the ability to
set their spam thresholds. Another nice feature is that users can view their
quarantine and release any false positives to themselves removing a lot of
the burden form the Admin. Together with Graphical reporting and the easy to
use interface this adds a lot for new customers to Declude.

But you are correct, the back end is all of DSS so that experienced users
can still continue to use Declude as they always have.

To the best of my knowledge Declude Interceptor is really no different than
the regular version of Declude packaged into a gateway.  The real benefit of
Interceptor is that you are no longer coupled to Imail/Smartermail in the
gateway environment. 

 From my testing you had all of the same files under the Declude folder
(global.cfg, virus.cfg, declude.cfg, etc).  They have a very nice web
interface for managing the product.  Having the option to have Declude not
bundled with Imail or Smartermail is nice.  However, I did not see any real
difference with the products. 

David - What is new in Interceptor that I may have missed compared to the
version of Declude we run under Imail\Smartermail.
