Thank you, Steve, Robbie, and Bruce, for the suggestion and for all the up votes.  I have moved this into our feature request list for future implementation in a major build.

After further review with the dev. team, we recognize the significant value of including this suggestion into a future major release of SmarterMail.  We discussed the idea of an export/import option, but ideally we would like to implement the feature so it does propagate down from a main install to any specified backup mx or gateway servers.  I am changing the status to Planned.

Hi guys,

 

Thanks for the suggestion! Similar functionality was implemented in SmarterMail 15.x. Check out its announcement from the New Features in SmarterMail page:

 

This is because all global spam settings are now contained in a single XML file. That means you can configure a solid set of antispam rules on one server, then easily move those settings over to any additional SmarterMail servers you have running simply by copying over your antispam XML. As an added bonus, email administrators can even work together to create and share their antispam XML files files, combining their experience and understanding to create the most reliable settings available. Those files can then be easily uploaded to any SmarterMail server, right from the Web interface!

 

In addition, SmarterMail 16.x has an entirely new architecture that is 100% API-driven! That means that EVERY aspect of SmarterMail, moving forward, will be exposed via web service calls, allowing companies to build upon our platform however they want. Anything will be possible, including the ability to monitor all servers and push spam configurations amongst those servers.
