WCSAP Information and Help

When an email sender (client) connects to a Wildcat! SMTP server, WCSAP will verify the sender using a suite of filtering methods. Overall, WCSAP will verify the client is using; a compliant SMTP system, using an authorized sending machine IP address and has provided a valid return path address (MAIL FROM). WCSAP is available as a web service to test these SMTP client parameters.  The strongest test is performed when all parameters are provided.   If an IP is not provided, then your current computer is assigned to be the sender machine.

Sender Information Type of test performed
Machine IP Address FLT, PTR, RBL, SPF
Machine Domain Name (HELO/EHLO): FLT, SPF
Return Path (MAIL FROM): FLT, SPF, CBV
Access ID:  
Output:  XML  SOAP  

Types of test performed by WCSAP
FLT Local system policy white/black list rules as defined by the local operator. This may include a PTR check.
