Error Connecting To Spamsentinel Server
unexpected shutdowns). For simplicity, all of these versions have the second digit as "4". All components need dotnet 2.0 only. Here are all components in a zip file format. They are listed singly, below. NOTE: The file attachments on this document pertained to a now outdated version of spamsentinel and they have been removed. Please contact Mayflower Customer Support if you believe you need access to the files formerly attached to this page: SScanner.1.exe; SSMon.exe; SpamSentinel.Zip.dll; SSRouter.exe; SSIntercept1411.dll; SSDuoE1.exe; SSDuoE2.exe; SpamSentinelSESupport.dll; cmclient1.dll; asapsdk.dll; SpamSentinelAdmin.ntf; SSMgr.exe; 74a.zip SScanner 7.4.2.1 This version of the Scanner has the unicode updates, and will start up even if the message queue creation fails. This means a "kill" will not prevent a restart of the scanner due to a full message queue. The SScanner has been update to implement the "split recipient" code whenever necessary. This will result in the creation of new mail messages if a user has a profile, or for skip recipients. This was a huge change which changed the way the messages are routed. So scenarios to test: Combinations of single and multiple valid, invalid, skip, and ambiguous recipients. Single and multiple valid recipients, some with user preferences. Messages with attachments and recipients with user preferences. Added ErrorState=1 to Check-in send to maysoft.com if there is a startup failure. This requires a Domino reboot to clear, and no auto-updates should occur when the server has reported this error. This is a fault tolerant feature that fixes the problem where it would load, not connect to the message queue and not process spam. This version should continue to process spam. This version of the SScanner will allow the customer to enable email name resolution for Spam-D. If you want to convert email addresses to Notes user names, add a numeric field to the server configuration document named "SpamDNameResolution". Set the field to the numeric value 1, the default is 0. The only scenario that will not work with user preferences is Spam-D if they set to move to the quarantine. This is because name resolution is only performed for mail in quarantines. New code that will free known Domino problem resources when stop is called from Service Manager. Ba
that the spam sender forges the return address so that it points to you. When the receiving server rejects the message, due to an invalid user name or mail box full error (for example), the server creates a non-Delivery failure and sends it back to the user who it thinks the mail came from - i.e. you or one of your users. Which version of Domino does SpamSentinel NoBS support? SpamSentinel NoBS supports versions 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the IBM Lotus Domino server. What platforms does SpamSentinel NoBS support? We http://www.maysoft.com/SS2.nsf/8ac4e41422d5fdd68525711400110325/378cc2addaae1bd285257401006da225?OpenDocument support 32 Bit Windows versions of IBM Lotus Domino. 64 Bit Domino is not yet tested. How do I install SpamSentinel NoBS? It takes about 5 minutes to install the IBM Lotus Domino server version. Simply put the DLL (see right column) in the Domino program directory (where nserver.exe is located) and modify your Notes.ini to include the following: EXTMGR_ADDINS=NoBS.dll If there are other entries on this http://www.maysoft.com/bs line, put a comma after them and then NoBS.dll, as follows: EXTMGR_ADDINS=nnem.dll, NoBS.dll Do I have to reboot my server after installation? You will need to restart your Domino service. You do not need to reboot your server. What percentage of Backscatter messages does SpamSentinel NoBS block? We block approximately 80%-90% of backscatter messages. We are working on getting to 95%. Check back for new versions. Will I still Receive Real Delivery Failure Reports? Yes. Delivery failure reports will still be sent to users for mail that they actually sent. We can determine the difference between mail originating from your Domino server and backscatter. Is SpamSentinel NoBS Compatible with my Anti-Virus software? Yes. NoBS is compatible with all anti-virus products installed on your Domino server. If you find one that is not, click here to report a problem: Click here to report a problem Can I Whitelist specific Domains? No. NoBS is a simple, free product. If you want advanced features, take a look at the full SpamSentinel product (click here), which has many advanced settings, including an option to quarantine backscatter.

version 7.6. This version will be a major change for SpamSentinel. It is time that we rethink the way we manage Spam through the Daily Report. The volume of spam http://www.maysoft.com/info/fra5v56ng.nsf/title/Component+Changes+in+7.6 has increased so rapidly in the last few years that the Daily Report, which http://www.maysoft.com/sshelp7.nsf/8315cc078f28d2508525711300655abc/3e4bc94ee5c1e21c8625738b0070f3e5?OpenDocument has been such an important part of SpamSentinel, has become oversized and hard to read. So, we designed Version 7.6 to help the user focus on the smallest message set possible. We have added a 3rd check to our dual engine SpamSentinel. This means we now move more messages into the Spam-D (delete) error connecting category, leaving less for the user to have to examine. We are able to reduce the Daily Report by 75% with this version, which means instead of 120 items on each report, there will be 30! A user will see: Version7.57.6 Missed Spam 2 0 Spam-B 12 4 Spam-C 120 30 Spam-D 650 750 Figures based on a test of 784 pieces of spam in 24-hour period sent error connecting to to one user. What is Different in Version 7.6? Version 7.5 used two spam checking engines. This sometimes caused a "tie" if the engines did not agree. We decided to check with RBLs to break the tie, with great success. We do not advocate using RBLs by themselves but, in combination with other checks, they do have a place. Everything else works as before. With this third check, Spam-B (which we refer to as Undecided) have also been reduced 75%. These Undecided messages should now be sent to the Notes JunkMail folder. We don't even consider the Spam-D anymore. It is the worst of the worst and should be automatically deleted (AutoDelete setting). Our focus is on Spam-C and Spam-B. With this new approach, any spam that slips through will be in these two categories, and most likely in the Spam-B category. A Spam-B is triggered by one check only. We now refer to these messages as Undecided as they have some "spamminess" but we could not get two sources to agree. Because we have reduced the numbers of Spam-C and Spam-B, two really good things happen: 1. The Daily Report is readable again with only 20 to 30
by a firewall. Fix To test connectivity to port 2703 (SpamNet Port) do the following: Open a command prompt. Type "telnet a.razor2.cloudmark.com 2703" If a response such as "sn=D&srl=456&a=l&a=cg&ep4=7542-10" is not received then the port is blocked or there are connectivity issues elsewhere. To test for port 80 (HTTP) connectivity: Open a web browser and enter "a.razor2.cloudmark.com" into the address field You should receive a 'Page Not Found' error. If you receive a 'Could Not Find Server' error then the firewall may be blocking port 80 or you may have other connectivity issues. One of these ports needs to be open for outbound traffic for SpamSentinel to function correctly.
