[sniffer] Re: Get Rulebase Error
Pete, Found the problem. Our Sonicwall was blocking cURL as a Download Threat. I adjusted the settings and it's now working fine. Sorry to waste your time with my issue.

Research suggests that the problem is probably network related -- I found articles about firewalls, for example. Please ping and then traceroute to the server. http://www.sortmonster.net See if you can spot a problem making a connection. If that stuff looks ok then try downloading your rulebase file with a browser from the machine where you are setting up SNF. Also try it from another machine to verify that you can access it from another machine on your network. (My lab is not on the same network as the delivery server, so my test is similar to yours -- except that your test involves your network(s)). You should be able to spot the problem with one of these tests. Essentially-- if you can download the rulebase file with your browser (like I can) then your SNF system should be able to download it with the curl utility. Also -- since you are switching over from another server -- I presume the other server has no trouble downloading the rulebase files. You might compare the two servers to find the difference. Please let me know what you find. Hope this helps, Thanks, _M # This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list sniffer@sortmonster.com.

[sniffer] REVDNS
Pete, Rulebase Update Notifications from BI.Arm1.armresearch.com [74.205.4.85] are failing Declude's REVDNS. Might a PTR be in order? DNSSTUFF doesn't show one. George

Ive just sent in my 3rd FP on the 60 Ungrouped today. Are others noticing this same increase? George
RE: [sniffer] Auto Sniffer Updates
You might want to try the following which resolved this problem for me (a while ago) 1. The IMail program alias is: c:\Sniffer\snfupd.bat 2. I created a .bat file which is: echo off cd\ c:\sniffer snfupd.cmd All of my Sniffer programs and files are in the c:\sniffer folder (directory) which isn't required but happens to be the way I chose to do it.

RE: [sniffer] Auto Sniffer Updates
There seemed to be a problem with IMail running a cmd file and since the bat file worked so I didn't bother checking further. I did two other things which might be of interest to you: I set the Alias that receives the notification email (in my case [EMAIL PROTECTED]) as a standard alias that forwards the email to two addresses. One is my regular email address so that I actually receive a copy of the notification message and the other is [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is the Program Alias that triggers the .bat file. A also added a line to Bill Landry's script to get rid of the tmp file that IMail leaves behind when the script uses the IMail1 program to generate the script results by email. This goes after the script line which generates the email: del %IMailDir%\spool\*.tmp George -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Glenn \ WCNet Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 5:31 PM To: sniffer@SortMonster.com Subject: Re: [sniffer] Auto Sniffer Updates Well blow me down. That did the trick, least-wise it does for triggering by a test message! I'll know for sure when the next notification arrives. Thanks!!!
