Outbound Index Developer Resources

The Outbound Index is designed to serve Developers and Administrators in the creation of new services, fostering an open development environment to the extent possible while insuring the sustainability and accuracy of the Outbound Index.

This page provides working open-source examples of SIQ clients (a standalone version and a Sendmail milter), as well as details on the SIQ protocol, and guidelines for proposing the creation of new "checks."

Python Milter

Here is the Sendmail Python milter we've been running on the servers in an 800-account ISP environment since July 2003. The milter sends a query for envelope-from, as described in the SIQ Protocol. In default mode, this milter inserts header flags which may be used by subsequent milters to skip or invoke processing, as well as contribute to score-based systems. In rejecting mode, this milter uses the response to cause Sendmail to accept or reject the mail, adding the header flags to accepted mail.

    Propose a New Check

    Use this form to describe your Check proposal. See Suggested Format for Check Proposals. The check proposal will appear linked from here on the Outbound Index Wiki for comments. Feasible and effective checks will be incorporated into the Outbound Index Dashboard.



    Describe the proposed check:


    Intellectual property: I understand that my submission does not establish or preserve any intellectual property rights on my behalf. Some aspects of my proposal may already be known to Outbound Index members from other sources, their own efforts, or be considered obvious to one skilled in the art. This submission constitutes a public disclosure. If I wish to assign ownership of any protectable intellectual property to the Outbound Index, I have stated so explicitly in the text of my submission above. (I would only do this if I felt that by assigning rights to the Outbound Index, rather than placing it in the public domain, any potentially protectable intellectual property would be less likely to be misused.)
