Hi "Declude" staff: >> While adding DUL, DYNA or DUHL to the test name would skip scanning all but the last hop, Declude also will not apply any tests named this way to any E-mail that has a local domain in the Mail From. The effect of this was that forging spammers that used local domains would not get tagged with DUL hits. <<
At one time, this may have been an undocumented "poor man's" way to "whitelist" your own dial-up/dynamic customers... But, since then Ipswitch added "SMTP AUTH" (the "A" flag) to the envelope - making that a much more suitable and only reliable method of "whitelisting" IP-roaming customers. I feel that the "skip local domains for DUHL tests" "bug/feature" should DEFINITELY be made a configuration option. There is no good reason that most of us are losing the ability to easily make use of very effective DUL/DYNA/DUHL lists - just because Declude allows spammers DO forge sender addresses! Matt's workaround is certainly clever (cudos!) - but unnecessarily complex and error-prone (to the average Declude user).
