Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Fromfile or Filter file limits

Title: Message



Hello, All,
Just trying to expand my own internal 
KnowledgeBase.

In the below message, what exactly is a "filter 
file"? Is it a feature of Declude or a different 3rd-party add-on? 
If it's part of Declude is there somewhere in the documentation where I can read 
more about it? Is "filter" a type of test like "fromfile"?

Thanks In Advance,
Dan Geiser

  Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Fromfile or 
  Filter file limits
  
  Hi;
  
  Is there anyway 
  possible to set a flag if a filter file reaches a certain limit in 
  weight?
  
  We have setup 
  several filter files and each for specific actions. It would be nice to 
  be able to assign a limit weight (upper allowable) for each test. If 
  that limit for that file exceeds then to take a certain 
  action.
  
  Right now it is 
  not possible to know how much of the total weight is from which test. 
  For example:
  
  We have tests 
  for:
  
  Test 1: 
  URL's found in the body
  Test 2: 
  Language found in Subject
  Test 3: 
  Phone numbers found in body
  Test 4: 
  Words found in body
  
  I think some of 
  the false positives are based on individual weights exceeding a certain 
  limit. But if we could have individual tests trigger a certain weight if 
  a certain limit is reached then we can play with the weights a lot more 
  effectively.
  
  So:
  
  Word 1 - weight 
  1
  Word 2 - weight 
  1
  Word 3 - weight 
  1
  Word 4- 
  weight 1
  
  Then: If 
  Weight = 4 Then Weight = 500
  
  If the limit for 
  this filter file reaches 4 then total weight is 500
  
  This way we can 
  have a little more freedom in fine tuning our tests.
  
  Thoughts? 
  or can we do this already and I don't know it?
  
  Regards,
  Kami

A filter file is just the file that is used with a filter in Declude 
JunkMail Pro (from the Filtering section of the manual).  A filter test 
is very similar to a fromfile test, in that it uses a separate file with a 
list of things to look for.  In the case of the filter, it is a bit more 
flexible, as it lets you look at specific sections of the E-mail (such as 
just the headers, return address, or even the reverse DNS entry of the 
remote mailserver), and also lets you assign different weights for each 
line in the filter file (so you could assign an E-mail with a subject 
containing Read my spam! a different weight than an E-mail with a subject 
reading This is not spam, for example).

We have setup 
several filter files and each for specific actions. It would be nice to be 
able to assign a limit weight (upper allowable) for each test. If that 
limit for that file exceeds then to take a certain action.

Right now it is 
not possible to know how much of the total weight is from which test. For 
example:

We have tests 
for:

Test 1: 
URL's found in the body
Test 2: 
Language found in Subject
Test 3: 
Phone numbers found in body
Test 4:

the false positives are based on individual weights exceeding a certain 
limit. But if we could have individual tests trigger a certain weight if a 
certain limit is reached then we can play with the weights a lot more

Word 1 - weight 
1
Word 2 - weight 
1
Word 3 - weight 
1
Word 4- 
weight 1

Then: If 
Weight = 4 Then Weight = 500

If the limit for 
this filter file reaches 4 then total weight is 500

This way we can 
have a little more freedom in fine tuning our tests.
