[VOPmail Beta] what is the "protocol filter"

[David Payer]

Title: Message

So, if the IP address shown as the source of the protocol error was the SMTP proxy, the log is actually showing the mail that came from various other sources that got filtered due to SPAMFLT0.txt   If this is the case, I am happy. If there is another reason my proxy is being blocked, I need to find out. Other mail is going through so I don't see a complete block.   David Payer   ----- Original Message ----- From: Suneel Jhangiani To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 10:02 AM Subject: [VOPmail Beta] what is the "protocol filter" The Protocol filter does indeed refer to the SPAMFLT0.txt filter. As the example you posted below shows the mail is filtered based on a subject. However, the earlier message does not show a reason which would imply that the IP Address of the sending machine is being blocked by the filters. I�m not sure if other blocks also make the same entry however you could check by looking at the SPAMFLT0.txt file for the IP Address or hostname and checking other areas where SMTP connections can be blocked to see which one would be blocking this.   ----- I before E except after C.

When it says protocol, I assume it means SMTP, POP, IMAP, etc. I have not had that portion of logging turned on before and have just noticed it. The ERR log indicates that it is is using the spmflt01.txt filter by saying:   << 554 Filtered out by Filter 0 because "Subject" =   But this is different. (or so it appears)   David ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank M. Cook   doesn't it mean an entry in your spamflt0.txt?   Frank M. Cook ----- Original Message ----- From: David Payer Subject: [VOPmail Beta] what is the "protocol filter"   I see the following in my antispam logs:   ---- SMTPRS log entry made at 10/13/2003 00:02:11 Connection from  [63.162.190.21] blocked by the protocol filter.
