Hi All,

I have noticed that SF seems to have an internal web server.

What is it for?? When I connect to it, I am asked for a user/password, but I see no mention of it in either the interface or the documentation??

Any ideas ?

Ah yes...now I've got it.

Well, I can understand why you haven't had a great deal of positive feedback on this...however.

1. The fact that your interface can't be run within a terminal server session is stupid. Every other management application you can think of runs in a TS session. I understand that I could install VNC, but it's horribly slow and vunerable to attack. TS has to be the way to go, I would suggest you look at the way you do it, maybe split it into 2 applications that talk to each other via a TCP port. This way there wouldn't be any problem from within TS and we could run the front end from out management PC's and connect to the server across a VPN....then we wouldn't have any need to TS into the box at all.

2. The web interface is clumsy to use, however I think it's a good idea if you can manage to clean it up a bit.

err,...

>>That is true, but please note that the number of applications that can be run in either service mode or as a standalone mode is proably inversely proportional

not actually true...

The service runs "spamfiltersvc.exe", which isn't need ed in standalone mode, as you then run "spamfilter.exe". This I have tried...delete the spamfiltersvc.exe and the standalone app works fine.

Therefore, you dont have an application thatcan be run in either service mode or standalone mode, what you actually have is two indipendant programs...a service and an application....

No problen, you have to design it as you see fit, it just means that we have to then wriote our oun code to overcome your "features" and get it to work the way we need it.

I do agree that SF is quite good. I cannot comment on the performance with 50,000 emails a day,but I can comment on the 99% bit.

We are not seeing 99% capture at all....I will do the maths and get some real life results to you.

Absolutely true, I skip read the previous post.

Sorry, my mistake.

Roberto,

A quick question.

Am I right in thinking that if I delete the quarantine database connection string, and then thee SF to "Tag Spam & Deliver", that it will tag all spam with a header (and not in the subject), and will deliver all email to the configured SMTP server.?

If this is the case, how do I find out what the "MAIL FROM:" and "RCPT TO:" smtp commands were, as these often bear no relationto the "From:" and "To:" headers within the mail.

cheers

Ah, I have a situation where I need to apply an accept ro reject filter on an email which is delivered to multiple recipients. However, only some of the recipients want to recieve the email, while others want to decline it.

One man's ham is another man's spam !!!

Have you any idea how I could get the RCPT recipients, other than trawling through the log for each email recieved ?

Cheers

Database logging would make this so much easier...a simple sql query, rather than trawling through text files....

However, I presume that SF must keep track of the recipients that are valid for any given email, as it must need this info to issue to the smtp server that it forwards the email to. Therefore I couls get the valid recipients from my smtp server after SF has forwarded it??
