I am attempting to use a filter written in C. If certain conditions are met, I don't want to deliver the incoming message. I'm returning a 5 to accomplish this. However, the message is still being delivered. I know the filter is being called, becuase there is logging logic in there, and I see the log entries. Maybe I just didn't understand the documentation on David's site pertaining to filters. Could someone either point me to a clear explanation of setting up for filters or give me a step-by-step regarding the correct tabs to create/use? Thanks.

No - I'm not an answering script ... Group: Admin Posts: 1776 Member No.: 427 Joined: 18-January 03	You have understood wright. Looks like you have a problem in a filter - it is not returning 5. Run xmail in debug mode so you can see the return code from filter. -------------------- Bye, Sasa ------------------------------------------------------------------- All electric machines work on smoke...when the smoke escape from machines, they don't work anymore Windows: "Where do you want to go today?"

I attempted this and now my filter works. Why? I could have sworn the documentation said to return a 4, 5, or 6 to stop delivery. I wouldn't mind except for two things: 1) XMail is returning a msg to the sender, which I don't necessarily want to do; and 2) the documentation doesn't match real-world results. What gives?

If it is prior to 1.16 then you have exit codes 97,98,99,100 othervise they are 4,5,6,7. -------------------- Bye, Sasa ------------------------------------------------------------------- All electric machines work on smoke...when the smoke escape from machines, they don't work anymore Windows: "Where do you want to go today?"
