I normally e-mail myself, refrain from getting the mail, then spread the .cnm file to all local users account with the utility spread.exe found in the downloads section (here)

You can alter the To: and/or From: information within the cnm file at your liking.

Hi all,

I wish to be able to send each user a small email on my mercury server.

The script I've written runs locally on the same server.
I want to be able to send it to each user so that mercury doesn't run any spam/clamav etc checks on it.

or can I somehow just create the "file" in each users filesystem directory? if the latter how do I generate the unique ID and update the correct file?

What I wish to do is send a daily report of what ClamAV +ClamSup has denied in a single email. (something that would include the date/time from to and subject) The script I'm writting would just roll through the ClamWall invalid message directory.

yes you can just drop the cnm file in each users new mail folder

But how do I know what to call the file?
and what else do I need to update?

just give it 8 random hex digits (0 - f) then .cnm , it can be the same for each user.

nothing else needs to be updated

You can whitelist an email address to bypass  the Spamhalter and Clamwall but I'm not so sure why you want to bypass Clamwall.

directory?

Create a RFC 2822 message body and save it as a CNM file using the 8.3 file form.

if the latter how do I generate the unique ID and update the

correct file?

Not sure what you mean here.
