To prevent Declude JM from scanning outbound mail I know I can whitelist IP ranges. Can they be anywhere in the global.cfg or do they need to be at the top. In general, any configuration options can go anywhere in the config files, with the exception of test actions in the global.cfg file (which

I have noticed that when a user send a mail message to an address on another domain, but located on that server Declude does not scan the messages for viruses or spam. Is this via web messaging? If so, older versions of IMail may not call Declude. In this case, though, it is extremely unlikel

Could you please let me know what condition causes E-mail to be left in the overflow directory, and exactly how Declude determines how/when to process such messages. The short version is that the situation is handled better than if the overflow directory isn't used (many people don't get that).

No it is not the last line of the file! In that case, the next step would be to double-check all settings (such as making sure that the paths are correct, no typos, etc.). If that doesn't explain the problem, you can use LOGLEVEL DEBUG, and send the results to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and we can see

So in the whitelist file for our domain name, I put a line IP x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is my home IP address. However, the Declude continues to scan messages sent from my home PC for spam, and to act accordingly. The problem is that whitelist files don't have an option of "IP x.x.x.x". In this case

Thanks, Scott. I also thought that whitelist files included all of the same options as the whitelist commands that go into a global.cfg file. No: The D:\IMail\Declude\mywhitelist.txt file would then contain either one E-mail address ("[EMAIL PROTECTED]") or domain ("@example.com") or subdomain
