You know - I've read that about 10 times so far...

NOW it makes sense.

Thanks

It is available in the pre-data filter... 1st line of the @@file... data
before first ";"

The "ClientDomain" is the HELO sent to XMail.

I use it in my antispam filter for XMail for Windows (I write mine in .NET)

Subject: [xmail] HELO from who?


This is probably old news to many but...

"mydomain.com" "mydomain.com" "SOM.IP.ADD.RES" "MY.IP.ADD.RES"
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" blah blah

According to the logfile description, the 'HELO servername' from the other
email server is saying "HELO MY.IP.ADD.RES" which of course shouldn't be.
And of course I would like kill the connection as early as possible.

I get about 200 of these a day.  About 150 are blocked by the Spam lists.
About 50 get through - many get killed by later scripts but I still get
about 5 or 10 anyway.

I didn't see anyway to get the HELO for a filter.  I am forced to run
XMail 1.21 on a Vinders Machine 8-) and can't go playing with the source.

Any ideas?

I don't think you can without some admin software.  I installed as a
service so I have used the Services to restart but I also use a batch file
(to clean and rotate logfiles) I just use the 'NET STOP XMail' and 'NET
START XMail'.  It only interrupts XMail for about a second or two and has
not shown any bad side effects.

The smtpgw.tab uses the SMTP explicit routing, that might not be supported 
by all MTAs. Using smtpfwd.tab is suggested in normal cases.

Yes, with mail-auth you need to authenticate even to send to local 
accounts.
