Greetings,

A suggestion for some future version of XMail...

At the moment, we have spammers.tab and spam-address.tab. Each of these has 
a single custom error response which can be set in server.tab.

I would propose that it be possible to design a custom error response for 
each entry in spammers.tab and spam-address.tab.

For example, if spammers.tab now contained:

"24.35.80.74"   "255.255.255.255"       
"24.122.1.155"  "255.255.255.255"       
"24.171.104.115"        "255.255.255.255"       
"24.186.212.40" "255.255.255.255"       
"24.224.235.114"        "255.255.255.255"       

I would suggest the addition of an additional field to contain a custom 
error message, as so:

"24.35.80.74"   "255.255.255.255"       "550 5.5.1 Direct-to-MX mail not accepted 
from cablespeed.com addresses"
"24.122.1.155"  "255.255.255.255"       "550 5.5.7 Your ISP has pissed me off - 
begone with you"
"24.171.104.115"        "255.255.255.255"       
"24.186.212.40" "255.255.255.255"       "550 5.9.7 If I ever see another 
optonline customer, it will be too soon"
"24.224.235.114"        "255.255.255.255"       

The field would, of course, be optional - defaulting back to the value 
contained in server.tab (which, in turn, defaults back to a "hard coded" 
value in the source code). But it would provide a way to give specific 
information to specific rejections (such as pointing RoadRunner customers 
to RoadRunner's own page for handling spam, while pointing hinet.* 
customers to www.whitehouse.com or something equally obnoxious)....

Just a thought...

Tracy
