How about just setting up an "out of office reply" on those test accounts of yours. You can even embed the icar test virus in one of the replies to see if the virus scanner works.
That seems the simple way to me. stew -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Edward Dekkers Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 9:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to set up a SMART auto-responder? I frequently set up simple mail servers for my customers, and testing their mail, anti-virus, and anti-spam sometimes is a headache. What is was wondering if it would be possible, was to set up OUR mail server with a few dummy users that would do the following: mailtest: Simply returns a mail like 'Your server is sending and receiving properly'. mailspam: Returns a mail to the originator containing a spam sample file mailvirus: Returns a mail which LOOKS like a virus (No, ofcourse it's not acceptable to send an actual virus, just something that would trigger a virus alert). Has anyone done this before? Sounds like a procmail recipe to me, which, given time I could probably figure out, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel. That way to test their server, all I would need to do when testing at a customer on-site is mail mail<whatever>@mydomain.com, and wait for the replies?
