RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Do you use ColdFusion? - Java?
The neat thing about Posini though is that my delivery load PrePostini was 220,000 emails AFTER Declude sorted. PostPostini it is now 35,000. Postini stops DHA and SPAM DOS as well. They use Postfix. It really is neat and I would prefer if I could have the staff and resources to build a redundant infrastructure like that but I don't so we will do this for now. Perhaps they will one day integrate it with mail suites like Imail and Brightmail but that is the only drawback I see ATM. Maybe you should bite the bulllet and offer the service to your customers as well. (The ROI makes sense if you are inundated with SPAM. BW savings is a factor if your BW is expensive.)

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Do you use ColdFusion? - Java?
Now I understand what Postini is, the original question makes more sense. I just read a review of their service from PC Magazine (linked from their site). They have a 1.4% false positive rate, and a 15.1% false negative rate. For a comparison, our first gateway customer (fairly small client) in the last three days has seen a 0.12% false positive rate, and a 0.61% false negative rate. The only FP was an ad from JCrew and was the result of just having installed Message Sniffer and needing to build up my whitelist for them. This account averages about 13.7 spams per day per account, though over 90% of it goes to just 15% of their users. I'd call that a good selling point :) I must confess though, their traffic was easy, but the majority of the false negatives will be gone after I block two more static spammers. Read about the results from that article for them and other companies at this link: http://www.postini.com/services/Postini_PC_Mag_11_2003.pdf Decent interface...very questionable results.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Do you use ColdFusion? - Java?
I've thought about the idea of building a digest notification app for Declude which allows users to retrieve held messages, change notification intervals, whitelist senders (and manage them), and allow for users to set their individual spam blocking level. Again though, the last two parts requires some integration with IMail rules, and exceptions can be messy (how to handle messages to aliases that were held), and they wouldn't work in the same regard for gatewayed E-mail. I'm throwing this out here because if I ever get to this, it will probably be a long time and difficult to support as a for-sale application. It would be absolutely killer though, and it would dramatically reduce the need for administrators to do monitoring. It also would remind the customer of how much spam we are blocking, and give them some control without messing up our Declude setup with endless customizations. I'd gladly pay for something that worked. Matt Pete McNeil wrote: One piece of what I had in mind was a gadget to look through the spam folder, and pull out a list of the messages held for a given user.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Do you use ColdFusion? - Java?
Well, on that topic... I've taken note of your FP reporting procedure and it doesn't mesh well with my environment since I capture to accounts that I only access through Web mail (and so do a lot of people here). Your system requires that users send reports from their registered addresses. Now, being a trial user, I'm not certain about the details since it's not available to me. Even if I was to download messages to my client, I use Netscape Mail, and replies and forwards don't include the header information, and my thought is that this is important for your system to track. I noted a false positive recently in my capture account for an opt-in members dieting newsletter and I forwarded it to the intended recipient to ask if it was in fact wanted/requested, and it was, but even on my forward, Message Sniffer tagged it because of the URL in the body. I think that this exposes a weakness of just simply tagging URL's as a one-to-one match, and maybe that weakness is related to how you gather information from your customers, or rather the limitations of how you gather. Having the headers would allow matching senders to URL's on a lot of spam and avoid many false positives, and simplify tagging of some static spammers by just doing IP's and avoiding the content. Because URL content alone can trigger your system, I must weight it lower than Declude's default settings, but in my environment it is still effective enough to have a noticeable impact, but I expect to see a few more FP's as a result. Declude's WHITELIST AUTH should stop the FP's on intra-server traffic when I upgrade to IMail 8, but there will still be some coming from individuals forwarding banned content from other servers. I'm not a SpamCop member, but someone here referenced a plug-in for Outlook which makes reporting spam to them just a simple press of a button. I would imagine that they can capture the full message that way and not just the body, and because it's simpler to do, they probably get a lot more submissions. That was the basis for that part of my original comments. One thing that I have been exploring on my service is to embed something in the messages, headers or otherwise, which gives a reporting mechanism with some details of the message, though this would be limited to just some header information in this environment. I would need to set it up so that only certain users could access this functionality, and if I could do it HTTP based, I could create a non-published domain which would need to be configured on a local DNS server or in the Windows host file so that resolution would work. I could also If I wanted to, send non-customers to a different version of the site, which would be effective for bounce messages for instance. I suppose that embedding a script by way of a URL might be a way to go, displaying some buttons in the event that DNS resolution works on these specially configured networks and machines. I'm just tossing that out in case it inspires you in any way. The gist of what you were floating originally though seemed to be remote management of Declude, and I just don't know that an app such as Declude, which is so customizable, and changes so frequently, has a realistic opportunity for full admin functionality without Scott providing the framework, and per user settings seem to be best done by way of an interface to IMail's rules and tagging the headers with Declude, which is a kludge with no standardization (though it most definitely works and it overcomes the multiple recipient shortcomings of the environment). Maybe I'm still misunderstanding you though, so if there was some specific feedback that you were after, feel free to ask again :) Thanks, Matt Pete McNeil wrote: If I read you right, you might be interested in a java applet that can be tied into KWM or even built into a web page you develop... perhaps using page based JS to gather message details to feed to the applet...

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Do you use ColdFusion? - Java?
Title: Message I question the importance to make the interface "cross platform" - when the tool that you are managing (Imail and Declude) are Windows specific? I'd personally rather use the web server that is already optimized for that environment and offers me plenty of control: IIS. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pete McNeilSent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 05:35 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Do you use ColdFusion? - Java?
