RE: GFI MailEssentials 8.0 - Prevent keyword checking on outgoing SMTP

Problem is that ME8 can only bind to one SMTP virtual server, and in order to 
take advantage of the auto-whitelist ME8 must be bound to the SMTP virtual 
server  you are using to send and receive mail...

I like your idea, but want to use the auto-whitelist, and the limitation of 
being bound to only one VS is the hangup. I will let you know what GFI comes 
back with.

Hi Edward,

I won't argue with GFI's tech support, because they know a heck of a lot
more than I do! Also, I haven't configured outbound mail to go through
my relay, I send it to my ISP's smart host -- I have an excellent ISP,
so I trust them to handle this important duty.

If you're using a relay, I would still try out what I described, I think
that would get around the issue, even if its not supposed to work that
way :-)

HTH,
Tom

Tom, I am working with GFI on resolving an issue we are experiencing.
According to GFI, keywords should not affect outgoing mail, only
incoming. They claim the setup you detail below is unnecessary. However,
when I redirect our backend Exchange server to forward all outgoing smtp
to our frontend screener, the keyword filter block outgoing messages.

GFI claims it should not block outgoing, only incoming. In your setup
does GFI MailEssentials block outgoing smtp that matches keywords in
your keyword filter?

Hi Edward,

Been using it since last weekend and thoroughly enjoying it. I wasn't
getting that much spam, but now I'm getting maybe one spam a day, and
its caching about a thousand a day! However, I'm using it on a SMTP
relay that accepts inbound messages only. I haven't changed things
around yet to allow it to handle outbound as well. The only reason for
doing so would be to take advantage of the auto Whitelist, which is a
pretty interesting feature. 

Not sure how you would handle it if you have it installed on the
Exchange Server. If its not on the Exchange Server, create a second
virtual SMTP server on your relay, and bind ME8 to only the virtual
server accepting the inbound mail. Right click on the one of the nodes
near the bottom (can't remember which one) and select only the virtual
server taking inbound messages.

HTH,
Tom

MailEssentials 8.0...anyone else other than Tom on it? Anyone (or Tom)
found a way to prevent it from checking outgoing smtp mail, and have it
only check incoming? Needless to say sometimes people here curse and I
don't want outgoing mail checked for keywords, only incoming....

Oh, to keep this relevant to ISA: ISA is great! I love it!
