SmarterMail: API - How to access (add) Security | Blacklist

Question asked by Sarah Weinberger - 12/25/2014 at 7:49 PM

Answered

Is there a SmarterMail API, so that I can access the via my WinForms application the Security | Blacklist area? I want to add records to the list.

A nice to have would be to pull the list as well.

How do I gain access to this API?

Sarah, you should be able to access the Security | Blacklist entries by going to http://mail.yourdomain.com/services/svcServerAdmin.asmx. Use the following calls: GetBlacklistEntries and SetBlacklistEntry to list the blacklist entries or set them.

1. Am I correct that there are no arguments for GetBlacklistEntries?
2. What is the argument format for SetBlacklistEntry? (Note, the dialog offers - IP Address || IP Address Range - 4 checkboxes I have to be able to specify this information.

There only arguments for GetBlacklistEntries is the system admin username and password. For SetBlacklistEntry, you will provide the system admin username and password, either IP Address or IP Address range (one or the other), either "true" or "false" for all four protocols, and an optional description.

Does that mean for GetBlacklistEntries I pass: "String Username, String Password" and that for SetBlacklistArguments I pass: "String Username, String Password, String IPAddress, Boolean Protocal1, Boolean Protocal2, Boolean Protocal3, Boolean Protocal4, String Description" as the arguments?

You would also pass the IPAddress start and end ranges as an empty string after String IPAddress. Everything else is correct. Make sure that only IPAddress or the ranges are set--not both.

I received a cryptic error message. How exactly do I increase the quota for the GetBlacklistEntries? Error: "The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded. To increase the quota, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize property on the appropriate binding element."

Okay, mission accomplished. I did not realize that maxReceivedMessageSize was a .Net thing. I thought that it was a SmarterTools thing. All works now. Thanks.

I did not see a DeleteBlaclistEntry() method? Is it named something else?

To completely remove a blacklist entry, set all the protocol booleans to false.

As an FYI, the SetBlacklistEntry() method misses the XMPP protocol. The method only allows stipulating SMTP, POP, and IMAP. Why was the XMPP protocol not exposed?

I noticed that when you first posed the question. It has been fixed to expose the XMPP protocol and will be available in the next minor release.

Tacking a question like this onto someone else's post is considered hijacking a thread. Please repost this as a new /uniqu thread: referencing SmarterMail as the product at the time of the post. Thank you.

Sorry to revive an old thread,

Is this API still valid in

SmarterMail Enterprise Edition
Version 14.4.5801

Also, one other question, Instead of using an API, is there an XML table or something that could be modified directly or uploaded ? Where is the IP blocking data stored at ?
