First, does IPNOTINMX and NOLEGITCONTENT still get processed (weight adjustments, and triggers for TESTSFAILED) after custom filters? I've been setting SKIPIFWEIGHT to a value equal to those tests because the points would be deducted afterwards. This is also important if we possibly write a custom filter that includes the TESTSFAILED action for these.

Actually, both IPNOTINMX and NOLEGITCONTENT should be run before the filters.


Secondly, I noted the NOTENDSWITH action was added as per John's previous request. If you could add NOT functionality to all of the filter types, this would greatly enhance filtering capabilities. I've come across this need many times in the past and have been limited by the absence of such functionality.

That is something that we are planning.


For everyone else, if you haven't figured it out yet, you can now create a simple filter for something like all DUL tests by setting the test scores to zero in the global.cfg, and then creating a DUL custom filter that is scored at one value. This way you don't have a huge range of scores based on how many such tests get hit. i.e.

----- Global.cfg -----
AHBL-DUL        ip4r      dnsbl.ahbl.org              127.0.0.9        0     0
NJABL-DUL       ip4r      dnsbl.njabl.org            127.0.0.3        0     0
NJABL-DYNA   ip4r      dynablock.njabl.org     127.0.0.3        0      0
SORBS-DUL      ip4r      dnsbl.sorbs.net            127.0.0.10      0      0
DUL                    filter
C:\IMail\Declude\Filters\DUL.txt        x      8      0

----- DUL.txt ----
TESTSFAILED       0      CONTAINS      AHBL-DUL
TESTSFAILED       0      CONTAINS      NJABL-DUL
TESTSFAILED       0      CONTAINS      NJABL-DYNA
TESTSFAILED       0      CONTAINS      SORBS-DUL


That's a good thing to have I think. It should help protect from false positives while also not severely weakening the system. I may even combine this with my DYNAMIC filter for one scoring hit.

That is a very good idea. :)
