Hi Dave,
Thanks for taking the time to explain it. I see that the sample on your web site has already been corrected to read "IPREPUTATION SNFIPREP " and I was simply working off an earlier copy. For the "SNF" test type, is there a way to have a "global" match (e.g., NONZERO), instead of having to specify each of the 18 (current) return codes one at a time? The external Sniffer simply allow me to code: SNIFFER external nonzero "D:\IMAIL\Declude\SNF\SNFClient.exe" 10 0 Best Regards, Andy From: supp...@declude.com [mailto:supp...@declude.com] On Behalf Of David Barker Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 10:05 AM To: declude.junkmail@declude.com Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Sniffer Integration SNFIPBLACK SNFIP the 2nd variable value is 5 = Block and works as an exit code. IPREPUTATION works differently. Note: IPREPUTATION SNFIP please update this to IPREPUTATION SNFIPREP x 0 10 -5 this should be the default. SNFIPREP represents a scale of -1----- 0 ----- 1 when the 2nd variable (BASEPOINT) is set to 0 this will convert the IP reputation to this scale as the examples below: If final score is 0 no score is added to the email dec0430.log 1842 04/30/2010 00:01:20.700 49319588 SNFIPRep the Value of Result = 0.000000 If final score is + the 3rd variable score is used in this case 10 dec0430.log 7351 04/30/2010 00:07:14.043 49319625 SNFIPRep the Value of Result = 0.267262 If final score is - the 4th variable score is used in this case -5 dec0430.log 11926 04/30/2010 00:08:50.340 49319647 SNFIPRep the Value of Result = -0.267262 The BASEPOINT is the point value at which an email will be considered "Good" if the result is to the left or "Bad" if to the right. (SNIFFER RETURN) x 10 - (BASEPOINT) = Result Example: 0.267262 x 10 - 0 = 2 This is positive then the test is triggered for 10 points. 0.267262 x 10 - 1 = 1 This is positive then the test is triggered for 10 points. 0.267262 x 10 - 2 = 0 Not Triggered. 0.267262 x 10 - 3 = -1 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for -5 points. 0.267262 x 10 - 4 = -2 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for -5 points. -0.267262 x 10 - 0 = -2 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for -5 points. -0.267262 x 10 - 1 = -1 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for -5 points. -0.267262 x 10 - 2 = 0 Not Triggered. -0.267262 x 10 - 3 = -1 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for -5 points. -0.267262 x 10 - 4 = -2 This is negative then the test is not-triggered for -5 points.

I'm confused about the Sniffer integration sample: SNFIPBLACK SNFIP x 5 10 0 IPREPUTATION SNFIP x 5 10 -5 It seems to me as if BOTH lines test the SAME Sniffer return code of "5" - but one line assigns adds a weight of 10 when found, the other also adds a weight of 10, but subtracts 5 when NOT found? So will this add "20" when found? Why use TWO lines to accomplish that? 2. In the past I could simply configure: SNIFFER external nonzero "D:\IMAIL\Declude\SNF\SNFClient.exe" 10 0 if I didn't want to duplicate 18 lines - and risk that at some point a return code will be added that I will miss unless I add another line to the config file. So, does the "SNF" test have some way to configure ONE line for "nonzero" to create a baseline weight, and then just add "SNF" tests for specific return code if I want those specific ones treated with a higher weight?
