@ben, 

This looks like the API for controlling some of the existing spam checks - I am looking for a way to create a new spam check. 

Hopefully it would be some kind of a spec where you can tell SmarterMail to call an external program or procedure with an email that was just received over SMTP, and you would return a value indicating if SmarterMail should issue a 2XX response and add the new email to the spool, or to reject it. 

There must be something like this already in SmarterMail that is used to call Declude and others, I just can't find the documentation for it. 

Thanks!

Hello, 

The API call used for creating custom rules is 

From here you can adjust as needed. Here is an example API call. 

You will need to adjust for what you are wanting to do. 

Thank you

@Tony,

I am looking to do more than simple, static, rule-based checks. I'd like to run code against the incoming message to evaluate it, and then return a result back to the SmarterMail SMTP server as to whether to accept or reject the message. 

It is similar to how the "spool proc" folder works, except that by the time a message makes it to the spool proc folder it has already been accepted and I want to be able to flag the message to be rejected. 

Thanks!
