2 conversions channels

Hi.
I am using Messaging Server 5.2 p2 in Solaris 8, and I have a conversion channel for antivirus, now I want to add a disclaimer, I saw I can do this with conversion channel, can I use 2 conversions channels?
How can I do this?
Thanks a lot.

using the conversion channel to add a disclaimer only works on text documents. In any case, it's a pretty useless device.
There's really no need for two conversion channel passes, just add the script stuff to your anti-virus script.

Setting up the Conversion Channel

Hello
I am trying to set up the conversion channel for virus scannin using McAfee products and I cannot get it to work. The mail log shows that it is going through the conversion channel but the scanpm.exe does not execute. Any help would be appreicated.

Chris, the conversion channel debugs the same way any other channel debugs.
you can bot both master_debug and slave_debug on the channel definition line, recompile the config, and restart the dispatcher
You then get one file per message as the message flows through the system.
Since there are many ways to implement the conversion channel, and the alternate conversion channel, and some of these depend on the exact version of your messaging server (which you neglected to mention), there's really not a lot I can do, yet, to help you.

Delete specific attachment file through Conversion Channel ?

version : iMS5.2 sp1
O/S : Solaris 2.6 Generic_105181-29
I wanted to delete specific attachment file(ex: ALTDESK.ZIP) through Conversion Channel.
So I set up like below..
1) In mappings file
=================
CONVERSIONS
IN-CHAN=tcp_intranet;OUT-CHAN=tcp_local;CONVERT Yes
==============
I only want to delete attached file from tcp_intranet to tcp_local.
2) msg-INSTANCE/imta/config/conversions

4) The problems I face are
- All of zip files which are filtered is deleted. As you can see 2) I only want to delete ALTDESK.ZIP file
But, all of the zip-compressed files are deleted at the moment.
- This converison channel is work(even if all zip-compressed files are deleted). But sometimes this is not
working(2 or 3 times out of 10). I don not know why.
- Above all, I am not sure 2) and 3) settings are good. English is a second language to me. So it was
not easy to understand conversion channel setting in Admin Guide.
- How can I see the out put of "$OUTPUT_OPTIONS" ? I do not know where I can see that.
Is there anybody to help me ?

The section of the admin guide which can help is:
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6009-10/channel2.htm#42283
Here there is an explanation of how the mime headers of the message part would align with the entries one would put into the conversions file entry. (The document has an error where it talks about APPARENT_NAME and APPARENT_FILENAME. It should really say the words "NAME" and "FILENAME" respectively).
Based on that document, the MIME headers of your message part :
Content-Type: application/x-zip-compressed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=ALTDESK.ZIP
will align with a conversions file settiong of:
in-channel=tcp_intranet; out-channel=tcp_local;
in-type=application; in-subtype=x-zip-compressed;
parameter-symbol-0=NAME; parameter-copy-0=*;
dparameter-symbol-0=FILENAME; dparameter-copy-0=*;
message-header-file=2; original-header-file=1;
override-header-file=1; override-option-file=1;
command="/product/leeky/convert.sh"
and a /product/leeky/convert.sh script which reads something like:
#!/bin/sh
grep "$FILENAME" /product/leek/badfiles.list
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
echo "STATUS=178030178" >> $OUTPUT_OPTIONS
else
grep "$NAME" /product/leek/badfiles.list
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
echo "STATUS=178030178" >> $OUTPUT_OPTIONS
else
cp $INPUT_FILE $OUTPUT_FILE
fi
fi
The lines:
parameter-symbol-0=NAME; parameter-copy-0=*;
dparameter-symbol-0=FILENAME; dparameter-copy-0=*;
tells the conversion channel to make the environment variable $NAME avaliable to your program with a value corresponding to the "name=" clause on the Content-Type line of the MIME headers. The environment variable $FILENAME is made avalable to your program and takes on the value extracted from the filename=" clause on the content-disposition line of the MIME headers.
The document at :
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6092-10/conversion.html
may help provide other examples.

Could I redirect a message passing by the conversion channel

I Have IMS 5.2 p1, and I am searching about how I can forward a message to a certain mailbox depending on the message attachment. I can only delete the attachment, or hold the message. but cannot redirect the message to another destination recipient ?
Is there a way to do this ?
Please if anyone could help, it is very urgent.
Thanks.

I Have IMS 5.2 p1, and I am searching about how I can
forward a message to a certain mailbox depending on
the message attachment. I can only delete the
attachment, or hold the message. but cannot redirect
the message to another destination recipient ? Actually you probably could redirect this by using
a sieve filter easier than a conversion channel.
But it is possible if you write the appropriate
headers replacing the envelope to: be the new
recipient you could "forward" the message I believe.
For detail support of this nature, I suggest
you call support who can better diagnose
what it is you're trying to do and how best
to accomplish it.

Mutiple enqueues to the conversion channel

Hi ,
I did set up a conversion where an AV product
scans an message before sending to the next channel ( basically ims-ms,tcp-local or tcp_intranel ) for delivery.
Recently I noticed that if I send an e-mail to 2 recipients(for instance) , a double copy of the message is enqueued the conversation channel and the AV product scans twice the same message ...
By adding the multiple keywords to the channel option , I can improve things so that if my 2 recipients are to be dequeued to the same channel it is scanned once ( for instance the 2 recipients are to be delivered local delivery)
But if it has to be delivered to 2 different channels ( for instance local and extranet) , it is still scanned twice.
Any option I am missing ? Can I instruct the channel to work only on the envelope of the message ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I see there at least 2 reallly good ideas
Yep, that's how the conversion channel works.First one knowning that Sun suggests to use the
conversion channel for AV purpose , scanning based on
recipients rather than envelope is just a fantastic
for system usage.Our recommendations do change, as we incorporate new features, and our partners add new features, too.
Currently, the conversion channel is the recommended route IF the virus scanner is to be run via command-line. There are indeed some tradeoffs involved with the conversion channel, especially the inherent overhead of starting new processes for each message, address expansion before conversion, and such. This puts a limit on maximum throughput.
>
If your virus scanner works via smtp, you can use
the "aliasdetourhost" keyword instead, and send
such before address expansion. this requires
5.2hf2.02 or later.Second one, if my AV does why should I bother using
iMS , I just use my AV/SMTP package ? While we find that most AV packages are very good at AV, most of them (all I have seen), aren't very good at being a well-behaved SMTP server. The skills that are useful for writing an AV package are very different from those required to create a well-behaved SMTP product.
We find that when most folk expose an AV's smtp port to the general internet, you can get lots of problems, including:
Dropped messages
error messages
much higher load on the AV hardware.
To help deal with such, we recommend using Sun JES' MTA to "wrap" the AV system. By accepting all mail with our MTA, you first get the ability to reject mail that's not addressed to actual users, the ability to throttle connections, to "fix" many types of badly-formed messages, etc.
The new "aliasdetourhost" keyword allows you to select an incoming channel's messages to be sent to an AV system and to accept those messages back into the queue, at high performance, without starting up a new process for each message, and only once per message, even if it's addressed to all of your users. . . .

Likely a bad idea, but I have no idea what you did. . .
Thanks for the input even without a clear idea.

IMS5.2 on W2K Conversion Channel woes

I have been working with the conversion channel in order to scan email attachments for viruses. It all seems to be working with the exception of one thing: the environment variables become intermittantly corrupted. Here is an example:
INPUT_FILE = e:/email/iPlanet/Server5/msg-smtp/imta/tmp/-CO-_ZO7008P0Y4MCCG01RK.00
INPUT_HEADERS = e:/email/iPlanet/Server5/msg-smtp/imta/tmp/-HO-_ZO7008P104MCCG01RK.00��
As you can see, at the end of the value for the INPUT_HEADERS variable there appear to be extended characters. This type of "corruption" appears randomly (in terms of timing as well as as which environment variables are affected).
Due to the length of the path to the different files (INPUT_FILE, INPUT_HEADERS, OUTPUT_OPTIONS, etc.) I can only pass 3 variables via the command line. For the rest of the information I must rely on the environment variables.
How can I get consistant and reliable environment variables?

This is EXACTLY the reason the title page to our forum strongly suggests that you run
imsimta version
and provide that as part of your post.
corruption to conversion files is indeed present in some hotfix versions.
I can confirm if you have such a version, if you would post your exact version.
To get a current/fixed version, you have to open a tech support case.

Sending mails via conversion channel according to sender

Hi
I need to run a script on some mails sent by specific users.
I am using the conversion channel, but in that way all mails using that channel are using the script.
I need that only mails from specific users will use that script.
What is the best method to do so?
Thanks
Shlomi

Hi
I followed the document, but had some problems.
First, When adding the Tag to the mapping file it didn't seem to work, so I put it in the conversion file and then, as it should be, only mails from users that had the tag run via the conversion.
However, it is working only with internal mail.
When sending mails to servers outside my network this tag is ignored.
When sending mail internaly this is the output of the imsimta test -rewrite command:

Fastening Processing of conversion channel

Hi
I am using ims52 and i have a conversion channel on my mail server.
Now corrospinding to this channel there is a conversion queue.
This queue grows up to a big number and the processing is slow on this channel so the mail reaches to customer in delay.
Please let me know the parameters that i need to modify to fasten the processing on this queue.
Regards
Rajeev Kumar

There was another query, exactly the same as yours, in the last day or two.
Ah there is is. And it is indeed yours. Here's the link to it:
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=51178&tstart=15
and what I asked:
If the conversion channel is taking a lot of cpu, it's certanly working.
If you have the original 5.2 bits, and have not applied the p2 patch, there are several, known problems that have been long fixed.
If you have the p2 bits on, you may want to increase the number of processes, or re-examine what you're doing in the conversion channel. Conversion is not as high-performance as much of the rest of the server, as it requires starting a process for each message.
You may simply have more work than the conversion channel can handle on your hardware.
What is it you're doing in conversion?

Alternate Conversion Channel

On a previous post, It was recomended that I use
the "Alternate Conversion Channel" setup as per
http://ims.balius.com/downloads/AlternateConversion.pdf
I just seem to have trouble getting it to work. After applying
the settings, The IMS does not change its
behavior at all. Did I miss something?
No messages are going to the tcp_scan channel.
I am using 5.2 Patch 1.
Thanks
Paul

to be the correct version. Still back to root problem

Conversion channel

Hi jay,
I am planning to replace the conversion channel virus scanning by the aliasdetourhost technique --- which I will be able to implement after hf 2.07.
The conversion channel is actually giving me problems on performance.
So I read ur doc in sunsolve were u have used clamav and amias-new...
I installed it on a test setup and found it interesting ---
The aliasdetourhost lets me to segregate the machines as MTA / STORE and virus/spam scanner...
Just wanted you to suggest me onething ... can i use the sophos in a similar way in tandom with aliasdetourhost thing ...

Sure. Amavis should be able to support that, or if Sophis has it's own smtp wrapper, you can use that.

Conversion channel and hf 2.07

Hi,
After I applied hf 2.07....I see definite improvement in the way conversion channel is behaving....though I did not do any conversion tuning as suggested by jay...still post hf2.07, the conversion processes have multiplied ...now I can c three conversion processes instead of one....therefore the dequeue also has improved.
I wonder why this has happened ... ! I did not touch the conversion maxjobs or threaddepth!!! just applied hotfix.
Also on my MTA routers ...the conversion processes eventually reduce to one process from 3......even if the conversion queue is having considerable mails in queue....if I restart MTA comp....again three conversion processes start, which dequeue the conversion queued messages fast.....but again when the queue falls to zero ....one conversion process remains....but the processes don't increase as the messages in queueu increases ??
SO I have to restart MTA services for fast conversion dequeue ...!!
Why don't the conversion processes increase in number according to incoming mail traffic ???? Why do multiple conversion processes start only on restarting the MTA (imsimta refresh)????
Also one more thought on conversion tuning....as suggested by jay...threaddepth on conversion ? If i see the refrence guide it states that threaddepth does not apply to conversion and some other channel.....!!!!!
Thanks
MSGADMIN

Hi jay,
I did not add anything on conversion yet.
Just applied the hotfix 2.07.
The performance has definetly improved after hotfix....in a sense...now conversion daemons have multiplied.....and thus the message dequeue in the conversion channel has improved a lot.
But, now that I am observing this new phenomenon, I observerd the conversion processes reduce to one in number...eventually.
When mail traffic goes high...the conversion process does not multiply consistently.....sometimes even 100 mails would not convince the jobcontroller to start multiple conversion processes....and sometimes even 20 mails would do.
A restart would always start 3 conversion processes....
With my settings ....default on conversion ....
default on tcp_local except maxjobs 20
I am having 3 conversion processes ...
I have not done any tuning yet on conversion....

Adding disclaimer file as an attachment on outgoing mail through Conversion

I'm using iMS 5.2 and i'm currently using the conversion channel to append a disclaimer to all outgoing messages (Internet only) but the boss would like to get the discloser in a text attachment instead of appended to the e-mail.
has anyone played with that?

Hello,
Are you using the standad sap function module or using OLE objects to generate excel?
First try creating the excel file in foreground and see if the data is being populated.
Kind Regards,

Channel for incoming mail addressed to specific domain

I am trying to create a channel for all incoming messages addressed to a specific domain.
I know that all incoming Internet mails go to tcp_local first.
What I want to do is to separate mails for different domains to different channels so I could later process them, either with conversion channel or with some channel filters.
Also, after passing trough those specific channels, how to put those mails back on track for delivery?
Can anyone help on doing this?
Thanks
I�m running (on Solaris 8) MS5.2p1 hf1.21

To look over the docs� but I already did, and it�s pretty bad, poorly explained�
So, please let�s try to make this clear.
Note, every time after making changes I run:
imsimta cnbuild
imsimta restart
First, you gave an example to me (reply 5):
[email protected]%tcp_friendly-daemon
Second, I was not sure from your post where to put space (reply6), and I tested both cases:
domain.net$E$F [email protected]%tcp_friendly-daemon # space between $F and $U
and
domain.net [email protected]%tcp_friendly-daemon # space between domain.net and $E
Unfortunately, nothing has changed.
Third, you wrote (reply 7) �No spaces�.
Forth, I tested that as well and it gave me an error (reply 8).
Fifth, in your last reply (reply 9) you said that I need a left and a right half, and you suggested an example that I�ve already checked (reply 6) and it wasn�t working :(
So, now I am completely lost�
Here is the result of testing this last example in imta.cnf:
domain.net [email protected]%tcp_friendly-daemon # space between domain.net and $E
! tcp_friendly
tcp_friendly smtp mx single_sys subdirs 20 noreverse maxjobs 7 pool SMTP_POOL mailfromdnsverify maytlsserver allowswitchchannel saslswitchchannel tcp_auth

Rewrite rules and channel enquiry

Hi,
I need to setup all mail that is coming frm inbound mta, perform a check up on ldap whether it is a antivirus subscriber, though will route subscribed user to antivirus server(ims with 3rd party antivirus software installed), and non-subscribed user to be routed to mailstore.
Any idea how to achieve that? I am not asking the detail step but overall idea to do this. I have read docs but the more i read, the more confusing I am. Any example docs beside
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/hub_techtips/route_email.jsp
Totally newbie here, FYI, this is ims6.3
thanks

Hi,
the antivirus software is trendmicro, installed in
ims6.3. What mechanism is being used currently to scan emails (e.g. conversion channel) and why can't the trend-micro software also be run on this system?
I dont think they have plugin or milter.Supposedly they do. Trend Micro InterScan Antivirus for Sendmail uses a milter API interface according to:
http://de.trendmicro-europe.com/global/products/collaterals/datasheets/DS08ISAV041014US.pdf
The other option would be to use another milter program such as MIMEDefang which can use Trend Micro to scan emails for viruses (plus much more). http://www.mimedefang.org/
Will
you or other gurus come out a tech tips writing
article regarding this kind of scenario?Well this particular scenario has already been considered as I mentioned earlier and the filter plugin mechanism was developed.
Routing emails to another email server for scanning as mentioned previously is very inefficient so not something I plan to document - better for your customer to be pushing Trend Micro for an efficient mechanism to integrate with MS6.3. If Trend Micro are willing to work with Sun I'm sure we can work out a good integration method (as we have with other AV providers).

Advantage having keywork 'single' in channel definition over 'single_sys'

Hi
I am working on channel definitions.
I came to know that, when we send any mail to multiple recipients
single - creates a single copy for each targeted recipient
single_sys - creates a single copy for a destination system
multiple - creates a single copy for entire channel
As per the above, its always better to have keywork multiple in channel definition. If so, what is the advantage of having keyword 'single' or 'single_sys'? Is there any performance issues?
Please let me know
Thanks in Advance

As per the above, its always better to have keywork multiple in channel definition.This is incorrect. The multiple keyword will be ignored on certain channels (ones with smtp* set e.g. tcp_local) unless the daemon keyword is used (i.e. all emails are being sent to the same next-hop). Otherwise you could end up with emails being sent to the wrong server.
If so, what is the advantage of having keyword 'single' or 'single_sys'? Is there any performance issues?If you require per-recipient processing, then the 'single' keyword may be appropriate e.g for conversion channel. There will obviously be a performance impact as it requires one email per recipient rather then one email per many-recipients.
Unless you have a need to change the channel settings you should leave them be - any modifications would be on a case-by-case basis.

Shane.
