[Declude.JunkMail] SPF question

Hi, I have a question about setting up the SPF string. If I use this string: v=spf1 a mx a:bcw5, a:bcw6 -all as a text record in our domain (bcwebhost.net), then the SPF test checks the sending IP and tries to match it against either bcw5.bcwebhost.net or bcw6.bcwebhost.net. The -all option

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] understanding JM scores

So what does the =IGNORE mean in the logs? Such as this: CMDSPACE=IGNORE IPNOTINMX=IGNORE NOLEGITCONTENT=IGNORE SPFFAIL=IGNORE LOCALCMDSPACE=IGNORE WEIGHT5=SUBJECT WEIGHT5r=MAILBOX CATCHALLMAILS=IGNORE And if this is only a list of tests that failed, then is there no list of tests the passed?

[Declude.JunkMail] understanding JM scores

Hi, I'm trying to better understand how JM scores weights. I sent a test message from one of our internal accounts to another, and it came out with a spam weight of 5. This was in the header: X-Declude-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [66.224.41.4] X-Note: This E-mail was scanned by Declude JunkMail

[Declude.JunkMail] confusion on SPF and IP addresses

Hi, There is one point about the setup of SPF records in DNS that confuses me: SPF compares the return address of email against the IP of the MX record for that domain. However, the MX record doesn't point to an IP, it points to a host name, which may be in another domain. So the MX record for

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF issue

I've been just begging for motivation to upgrade from 7.15 to 8.x, and so far, the only good reason I've found is the WHITELIST AUTH feature. Otherwise, it's hard to see any reason for upgrading, especially when I've got a stable, trouble-free mail server now, and an upgrade could introduce any

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] working with filters

Hi Scott, Thanks for the quick reply. What do you mean by apply to certain users? If I add a line to a filter to the global.cfg file, it runs for everyone. So where in the filter file do I apply per-domain settings? For example, in the REMOTEIP code I was looking at, it seems the REMOTEIP test

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] working with filters

Sorry Scott, I just realized I was being Monday-morning befuddled. The inclusion of the filter line in the global.cfg file only defines the test, just as all the other tests are defined there. It's only when I put the reference in the $default$.junkmail file to that test name that the test is

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] working with filters

I must really be slow today, so my apologies in advance... Applying actions for different tests for different users/domains is fine. If I put YOURTESTNAME DELETE into a per-domain junkmail file, then messages that fail that test will be deleted. However, what about weighting? If I define a

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] working with filters

Thanks for your patience Scott. I think I understand now, although my actual test doesn't seem to be working. Perhaps you can tell me where I'm going wrong? 1. I put a reference to the filter in the global.cfg file (e.g., c:\imail\declude\cmdspacefilter.txt x 0 0). Notice that I gave the

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] working with filters

Hi Scott, That's just what I needed. I took the script from someone else's earlier reply to my questions about CMDSPACE. I guess the email message reformatted the text, so the way I read it was to put the filter name inside the filter file instead of inside the global.cfg file. Now that I've

[Declude.JunkMail] Conditional test weighting

Is it possible to make the weight of a test conditional? Here is my thinking: we've been having problems with our own users getting zapped by the CMDSPACE test. We are running IMail 7.15, so we don't have access to the whitelist auth option. We can whitelist our own domains, but that would let

[Declude.JunkMail] What's wrong with this header?

Normally, we expect that all the clients we host on our own mail server would get very low spam weights. However, I just recieved a message from a client with a weight of 7. I'm trying to understand why the high weight. Here is the message header: Received: from slaptop [65.75.194.49] by

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] What's wrong with this header?

We're still running Imail 7.15 -- I have yet to see any value in upgrading to 8.x -- so is there an easy way to do the whitelisting of local accounts for IMail 7.x? Also, what would you think about lowering the weight for CMDSPACE from 8 to 4? Ben - Original Message - From: R. Scott

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] f-prot

[Declude.JunkMail] per user settings question

We have JM Pro, and have a few per-user settings. Now we have a client with a nobody alias setup to catch all emails that aren't specifically addressed to one of their mailboxes. They want custom JM settings for this nobody alias. Can we just setup a nobody.jumkmail file like we would for any

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] per user settings question

Hmmm..., that doesn't quite do what they want. They have an mailbox julie, and nobody is an alias that resolves to julie. They want different JM settings for mail specifically addressed to julie versus mail addressed to no legitimate mailbox (which would get handled through the nobody alias).

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] refining the filtering process

Thanks for the answer on the subject question. Your answer on the other (refining...) question was a bit shorter than I was hoping for. Do you have an archive for your JunkMail list messages? I've been scanning through the archives of IMail, but it's hard to pinpoint the right information.
