[work] Re: releasing spam

[John Clancy]

Hi Shoval,

you need something similar to the following

Iframes:

Allow IFrame Tags = %rules-dir%/iframe.tags.rules

iframe.tags.rules contents -
From:           127.0.0.1       yes
FromOrTo:       default         no

Form Tags:

Allow Form Tags = %rules-dir%/form.tags.rules

form.tags.rules
From:           127.0.0.1       yes
FromOrTo:       default         no

Script Tags:

Allow Script Tags = %rules-dir%/script.tags.rules

script.tags.rules

From:           127.0.0.1       yes
FromOrTo:       default         no

Object Codebase:

Allow Object Codebase Tags = %rules-dir%/script.tags.rules

script.tags.rules

see above

Filename rules:

Filename Rules = %rules-dir%/filename.rules

filename.rules

From:   127.0.0.1       /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.allowall.conf
FromOrTo:       default /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

filename.rules.allowall.conf

allow   .*      -       -

filename.rules.conf

standard file in distribution

Filetype rules:

Filetype Rules = %rules-dir%/filetype.rules

filetype.rules

From:   127.0.0.1       /etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules.allowall.conf
FromOrTo:       default /etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules.conf

filetype.rules.allowall.conf
allow   .*      -       -

filetype.rules.conf

standard file in distribution


The bit in the previous email about 'Deliver Cleaned Messages' relates only
to an automated email address that accepts and confirms subscriptions -
since this could be confused by having viruses coming in to it I use a
ruleset for the above setting to allow cleaned messages to users while
blocking from the automated address.

The above settings should allow Mailwatch to release emails from quarantine
without being hit by the standard rules.
