• AntiSpam

    From Dave Plowman (News)@21:1/5 to All on Tue Nov 16 01:26:51 2021
    Hoping for a simple answer from someone who has made the same mistake as
    this idiot.

    Using the latest version of AntiSpam with the latest version of Pluto. To
    both fetch and send. AntiSpam on its own - not used with POPStar, or
    whatever.

    Got it to send OK, but a fetch sees it going through all the mails in the
    box, but not downloading any.

    The Progress window shows testing and some in Diverted and some in
    Defaulted, but none in Accepted. If that should show downloaded ones.

    I've looked in where they get stored in Boot Choices, and they are all
    blank. So AntiSpam seems to be just looking at them rather than
    downloading the ones which pass the rules. I'd guess there is something I haven't ticked. Or whatever.

    For each mailbox you define, you have to specify a download file (Mailbox->General) - normally just a leafname (e.g. for my orange.wingsandbeaks.org.uk address the download file is 'orange').


    Where the downloaded files get stored will depend on what 'transport'
    you have selected (the latest version of Pluto is AntiSpam-aware, so you
    can select AntiSpam explicitly in Pluto instead of having to emulate
    POPStar), but may well be in Boot:Choices.AntiSpam.MailDir

    Thanks Harriet - that's done it. A default name that you change if you
    want to would have made more sense to me.

    I did read this in Help, but didn't realise it was as simple as just
    entering any old name you fancied.

    Yes they are. I tried putting a blank text file in that Directory Inbound,
    and then drop that file in the field in MailBox General. With no success. Trying to be too clever, I suppose.
