Hello Randy, Sorry, I was unaware this was your filter, and didn't know that all the functionality it provides would be lost with my suggestion of removal of the offending filter generating the spam.log file entry from Bill that I glanced at. I'm not running TF, so I wasn't all familiar with it.
Still, I would say to Bill that the log line entries here for TF are formatted different enough from other IMS filters that AVP will fail in parsing it. The trashbin viewer functionality in AVP won't work at present with such entries in the log. It will halt processing upon encountering a parse error on an offending line. If there is presently a way in TF to log entries to a separate file, this would restore this functionality. AVP logs to spam.log in the standard format, and provides more detailed information in a separate log file (AVP.LOG) that it maintains. If Randy made TF's entries conform to what the other spam.log entries look like, then the information would be presented nicely in the AVP trash bin viewer interface. Otherwise, to put it simply, TF isn't compatible with the trashbin viewer feature in AVP.

I think it is quite unlikely that this is the problem. as TF's Spam log entries have not changed in years. Moreover, I was quite careful to match the column layout so that readers like Spameye wouldn't break. I also know that a number of users use TF with the AVP message viewer, so unless this was broken by a new version of AVP, this isn't the problem. > If you are looking to filter by text anywhere in the body, you may want to > dump this filter, and just add the text to the mfilter file, > "\INSTALL\MFILTER\FILTERI.DAT", in quotes, to the same end. Huh? You have to use Antibanner to filter in the body; SCSMFilter only filters in the message headers. Besides, TF Classic also decodes encoded text, compresses out blanks, and normalizes case: it's nowhere near a pure text filter. (And, of course, TF Pro also filters on domains, IPs, does SPF checks, and much more). In any case, running a mail server without a good spam filter is foolhardy, and SCSMFilter alone won't cut it. If he's using TF, he probably needs it. Randy. This is the discussion list for the IMS Free email server software.
