Agreed. This was absolutely necessary before IMail 8.x and Declude's
WHITELIST AUTH came out, but it is a problem now that these things
exist. The workaround should be in the form of a switch in the
global.cfg, something like DULSKIPPING OFF.
Another note to Declude in regard to the announcement of changing the
new recipient skipping mechanism for the DELETE action. The new
action, named DELETE_RECIPIENTS doesn't follow the naming standard of
other tests, and I would recommend sticking to the existing naming
standard and omit the underscore, i.e. DELETERECIPIENTS. Call it anal
if you wish, but little things like that can cause some confusion from
time to time, and a predictable naming standard is nice to have.

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).
