This is a small&simple post-data filter to fix the "Zero byte inside the
message" and the "No newline at the end of message" problems. Even though
messages that comes into post-data filters, always have the ending newline
(unless previous filters screw up, of course). Here is the C source code,
and the Win32 pre-built EXE:

http://www.xmailserver.org/xbmf.exe

Sorry, forgot the usage smile.gif

"PATH_TO/xbmf" "@@FILE"

I am not that familar with all of this scripting stuff. blink.gif What I would like to do is
not have to filter all incoming eMails thereby reducing the load on the server.

Can we use the xbmf.exe in a mailproc.tab as well? If so -- would the syntax be:

"external"[TAB]"0"[TAB]"5"[TAB]"[path]\xbmf.exe"[TAB]"@@FILE"[NEWLINE]

Thanks....

No, this is a post-data filter only. Edit filters.post.data.tab and enter:

"PATH_TO/xbmf"[TAB]"@@FILE"[ENTER]

I'm sorry -- I don't use many of these advanced features. So I'm sorry for the newbie question...

Should the file name be filters.post.data.tab or filters.post-data.tab? Also, the location of the TAB file shoud be the mailroot or the filters sub-folder in the mailroot?

i enter
"PATH_TO/xbmf"[TAB]"@@FILE"[ENTER]
i know i have to modify the file path to point to xbmf, but do i have to change the "@@file" as well?

No, @@FILE is a system variable - leave this untouched.

Harald,

Would you put this as the first line or would you still run av filter first?

Thanks!

Can't this be fixed with v1.25? So Xmail always "closes" the messages?

(A -very- late response)

I know it's not Xmail causing the problem, but it would be nice not to use the filter anymore... Maybe a SERVER.TAB variable?

I once requested this at Davide. His point of view was that a SMTP server should not alter messages by default. So this task is delegated to the filter framework.
