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:

Sorry, forgot the usage

"PATH_TO/xbmf" "@@FILE"

Which filter tab do we put this in?

I am not that familar with all of this scripting stuff.

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 [snip...]

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?

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

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?

Member Group: Members Posts: 92 Member No.: 1456 Joined: 10-January 05	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?

No - I'm not an answering script ... Group: Admin Posts: 6631 Member No.: 195 Joined: 19-June 02	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. -------------------- Bye, Harald -- Download XMail Queue Manager 1.46 NOW: XMail Server Tools -- Cross platform remote queue management! -- Message analyzing on the fly! -- Builtin diagnostics knowledge base! -- Manages multiple mail queues!
