Please consider this feature.

Instead of rejecting the spam, we would like to redirect to some email id  for each domains listed in allowed list.

Good idea about the date last seen to trim the list. We've been parsing the outgoing mail log every ten minutes and adding them to the autowhitelist but the list is getting long (about 6 meg) and will get much longer and I was worrying about how to trim it.

Was thinking of using a database to look for dupes, so if an organization has autowhitelisted 3 or more similar entries:
joe@mydomain.com|gman@xyzcorp.com
mary@mydomain.com|harriet@xyzcorp.com
frank@mydomain.com|sus@xyzcorp.com

A nightly script would run that would remove the 3 (or more) entries and replace it with:
*@mydomain.com|*@xyzcorp.com

Of course domains like yahoo.com,gmail.com,hotmail.com would be excluded.

I'm doing this currently myself.  I parse exchange logs looking for outbound emails, and store them in a database (with a date last seen).

Then every day I create a list of accounts that should be whitelisted, I only take emails that someone has sent an email to in the last six months.

That way my list stays smaller, if someone has not sent an email to someone in the last six months they just don't get automatically whitelisted.

He's got you beat on at least one of those ideas...  there's a LogFilePath=... entry in SpamFilter.ini that you can customize.  I used it to move my logs to another drive myself.

Speaking of performance any chance having the ability to specify location of logfile directory and queue directory?

Thinking of moving these to a ram drive to keep disk drives from getting beat up.

Thanks!

This would lead to a potentially huge list of entries, as every outgoing email will have to be checked and added to the list. Having a list of several MBs (or dozens of MBs) in size would greatly affect performance.

For this reason we will likely skip this feature for now.

This is an excellent idea...

We did not advertise the new functionality that much for this very reason...
Documentation is still being prepared, but as these new features were in high demand, we released this version before the docs were ready.

Do you have any question in particular? In general, there is a new "User Authentication" tab under the Settings, where admins can select the type of authentication to be used.

If an end-user configures their email client to use outgoing SMTP-authentication, they can use SpamFilter as their "Outgoing SMTP Server". SpamFilter will authenticate the user with either Active Directory, LDAP, or a Unix password file. If successful, the user is whitelisted and will be able to send emails thru SpamFilter.

For LDAP, you will need to provide the LDAP server (support for a failover LDAP server is being added), and the the account that SpamFilter will use to bind to LDAP so it can perform searches. The Base DN for your LDAP domain will also need to be provided.

Is there any additional information on setup for using LDAP?  I don;t see any mention in the txt file.]]> Tue, 25 Jul 2006 15:57:52 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5714&PID=8594&title=spamfilter-31-avail-prerelease#8594
