We do exactly this using Declude Virus and an .ASP script.  Declude Virus
sends an email to with a link in it to move the message from the hold queue
back to the spool for delivery.

To do it without Declude, I suppose you could set up a program alias on a
special account to make a copy of the .SMD files, parse the message, and
send a notification to either the sender or the intended recipient(s) that
the message was blocked.  I highly recommend sending to the intended
recipient(s) rather than the sender...but that's another discussion.
Include a link in the message to a custom web script (like the one mentioned
above) to move the copied .SMD files back to the spool.

Given the time to write and test the program alias, you're probably better
off getting Declude Virus or some other tool that allows you to send a
notification for banned files.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Rule with more than one action


I have a rule that filters for extensions, when one is found it then
forwards to an administrator account.
for example:
B~filename=.*\.exe!OR!B~filename=.*\.pif!OR!B~filename=.*\.scr!OR!B~filename
=.*\.bat!OR!B~filename=.*\.zip!OR!B~filename=.*\.dat!OR!B~filename=.*\.vbs:r
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

That works fine. However, I also need to send a message to the intended
recipient to notify them that I am holding this mail and they have a limited
amount of time to contact me before the mail is deleted.

I contacted Ipswitch and they informed me that this is not doable in 8.05.
Does anyone have any suggestions/scripts that might make this doable?  It
seems like this would be a fairly common process that would be useful to
many.

Thanks in advance!

Dave Jordan
