Hello Fred

As this is a filter, the choice made to use 'return-path' in place of 'from'
is filter specific, not related to xmail

To help you we need to know more about this filter, how it works,
parameters, ...
Self-written filter or found on the net ?
Do you have source code for this filter (or can we get it somewhere) ?

Francis

Hello guys,
 
This is not really XMail specific but I am a bit confused there and I need
help from experts.
 
Here is the problem, I am using a filter that works with SPF, everything is
working fine except one thing.
 
Sometimes forged froms pass through the filter because the filter is getting
the return-path instead of a faked from, see this example:
 
Return-Path: <munitionb9@...>
Delivered-To: root@...
Received: from dsldevice.lan ([92.18.93.37]:49281)
                by mail with [XMail 1.26 ESMTP Server]
                id <SA34818> for <root@...> from
<munitionb9@...>;

This guy is sending email like this with links to spread his malware.
 
My filter is analyzing Return-Path: munitionb9@... instead of

Is there any way to analyze the faked from?
 
Thanks

Hi Francis,

Thanks for your reply.

This is a self-written script that get the following arguments from
filter.post-data.tab

"!aex"  "/mailsrv/MailRoot/filters/spfcheck/spfcheck.php"       "@@FROM"
"@@CRCPT"       "@@REMOTEADDR"  "@@FILE"

The @@FROM is the actual variable that is checked by this linux command
(from within a PHP script):

exec("spfquery --name " . $this->_spfServer . " -sender=" . $this->_from . "
-ip=" . $this->_remoteAddress . " -helo=" . $this->_helo, $output, $return);

$this->_from == @@FROM

Spfquery return a digit as the return code which is what I use for either
dropping the email or let it go throught.

Thanks
