[VOPmail Beta] what is the "protocol filter"

[Suneel Jhangiani]

Title: Message

Well, the way you handle SMTP connections should dictate the features you are using and which systems need those features.   If your Proxy is receiving the SMTP mail and then sending this mail onto your VOP Mail server you will almost certainly want to whitelist this server. RBL lookups would be pointless on your VOPMail server as it would always be looking up the Proxy Servers address. Your Proxy, should therefore take care off limiting the SMTP connections, and should start by allowing mail for domains you host as well as mail for IP Addresses you use to provide dial-up and other access services.   Again, we could give more advice but we would need to know exactly how your mail handling is currently set-up.   ----- I before E except after C.

As it is, they must authenticate unless sending to a local user, everyone must authenticate on my network now.   I am testing a programable SMTP proxy that allows you to put rules on incoming mail and actions associated with those rules   IF on RBL  THEN  delete or save   IF attachment has vbs or pif or scr or exe then send a message to the final recipient about it and delete the original   IF the email is coming from CHINA then delete it   IF header contains "X-Spam-Flag: YES" (spam assassin's tag) then save it in a subfolder of the users inbox (so they can see it with IMAP)   This kind of stuff.  Kinda cool.   David Payer
