[xmail] Filter to Ignore Other Filters

2005-09-08 Thread Dan Porter
I want to set up a filter so that all emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will not get processed by the other filters (spam checker, virus checker). I have never written my own filter, but I am guessing I need to do something like this: In filters.in.tab: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0

[xmail] Feature request: POP3 log - STATUS field

2005-09-08 Thread Kirk Friggstad
Greeting Davide (and everyone else): Would it be possible to add a STATUS field to XMail's POP3 logs - something to indicate whether a login was successful or not, and if not successful perhaps some indicator of why it failed? Something similar to the STATUS field in the SMTP logs would be great

I would look more closely at what is causing the problem with ASSP and continue to use that. I like it much better than Spam Assassin myself, at least for use with XMail. It is far more efficient since it handles the SPAM check in the SMTP session then closes it after a specified number of

1) Any docs on how to install SpamAssassin on Windows and don't tell you how to do it via installing CygWin will result in a serial mode SpamAssassin install. No SpamD, no DCC, no Razor, and no Pyzor. 2) Serial mode SpamAssassin is FAR FAR slower than using SpamD (which is a form of

ASSP is great and I applaud anyone using it... ASSP is easier to set up and use than SpamAssassin. I won't argue that. However, SpamAssassin offers everything ASSP does and more. In your post: It (ASSP) is far more efficient since it handles the SPAM check in the SMTP session then closes it

The perl filter you used for *BSD probably used the serial version of SpamAssassin. SpamC is a drop-in replacement for the SpamAssassin calls. SpamD *is* SpamAssassin but running all the time. The slowness you experienced was because SpamAssassin takes a while to load up before running. SpamD
