Hi everyone,

I am relatively new to this forum and ASSP.

Not sure if i post in the correct thread.

Anyway, is anyone experienced in using ASSP with Perl in windows platform.

ASSP is quite overwhelming, do not know when to start from.

Could someone lead me to the right direction on basic configuration?

Thank you

Thanks davidktw,

Actually i did the installation already.
on windows 2012 r2
What i dont understand is what should i configure. The GUI is pretty overwhelming.
For example:
how do i configure it to forward to different multiple domains after filter
how to i configure it to accept SSLV3 TLS etc.

oh btw, i am using v2 also

My last understanding is ASSP doesn't do the actual delivery. You will need a MTA such as Sendmail/Postfix/Exim or other MTA you have in Windows. Read the manual found at http://tenet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/assp/ASSP%20V2%20multithreading/manual-assp-2-4-7.pdf.

There is a LocalDomains field for you to specify a list of domains ASSP will accept mails for, or you can specify an external file with the domains listed.

There is a field named Relay Host for you to specify the host name and port at which your Relay MTA can be connected to. Hence you will have to configure both ASSP and ur relay MTA to know what is your domain. Assuming your domain is ABC.COM, so you configure in ASSP that your LocalDomains include ABC.COM and your MTA also knows ABC.COM is a local domain. Hence when any mails arrive at ASSP meant for ABC.COM, it will accept and then perform the anti spam filtering after if it is found okay, it will forward the mail to ur MTA for delivery. Your MTA since is configured to accept mail for ABC.COM will accept the mail and store it or do what is necessary so that the user can retrieve the mail via POP or IMAIL.

If you also include DEF.COM in ASSP but not your MTA, then when the mail reaches the MTA, The MTA will not store it. However if your MTA is listen to localhost, normally mails coming from this SMTP interface will be consider white listed and good for relay. This is how emails are delivered when applications running in the server tried to send email out via a local MTA. Your MTA will perform a relay to the actual domain using the industrial technique for mail delivery.

Mail delivery is quite an art, so you will want to learn about it more :)
