EIMS Filters
Athenaeums - Athenaeums is a filter for EIMS and EIMS X that provides archiving functionality for the all standard EIMS documents, including the error log, mail log, sending error log, and console log documents.
Denes - Denes is an EIMS filter for taking actions on email based on DNS lookups using custom rules and criteria. Denes allows email to be accepted or denied based on DNS lookups, making full support for DNS based black lists and white lists available in a single filter; there is even a simple test mode to log DNS lookups without actually denying or accepting email.
Drain0 - Drain0 is a filter for Eudora Internet Mail Server (EIMS and EIMS X) to manage cleaning of any email containing stray linefeeds (LFs), stray carriage returns (CRs), and NULL bytes. Drain0 preferences allow the EIMS email administrator to control exactly what happens with emails containing stray linefeeds or NULL bytes. They can be individually allow through or the offending bytes within the email can be substituted with different byte values. The preferences for Drain0 allow the email administrator to even specify what byte value to substitute into the email (space, ASCII 32, is the recommended value to substitute).
Kiwize - Kiwize is an EIMS filter to manage blocking of any email based on the total size of the email, accomplished by a fully customizable set of rules. These rules allow different email addresses, domains, etc., to have different maximum email sizes they are allowed to receive, increasing significantly the robustness and customizability of any EIMS installation.
Reduplicator - Reduplicator is an EIMS filter for archiving email using custom rules and criteria. Reduplicator allows email to be archived based on who it is coming from, who it is going to, what IP address it is coming from, and the use of authentication. Archiving location can also be customized to organize archived email by domain, username, and current date values.
4D Plugins
Deep Sky Technologies, Inc., provides immediate sales, support, and service to all of the 4D plugins purchased through Deep Sky Tech. As of April 2001, Deep Sky Tech. has begun distributing select, third party 4D plugins. This includes only those plugins which have shown a high degree of reliability, an ever expanding set of functionality, and an unparalleled pricing and support model.
DynamicStructure v1.1.2 - DynamicStructure is a plugin that lets 4D developers dynamically get and set properties and contents of objects in the structure.
It is a very powerful tool useful to all 4D developers. DynamicStructure allows for functionality never before possible in 4th Dimension, from automatic documentation to dynamic manipulation of objects. DynamicStructure covers a lot of features that can not be accessed currently with the 4D language or any other tool available to the 4D market.
Internet ToolKit - Internet ToolKit (ITK) is considered the defacto standard in the 4th Dimension developer community for reliable and feature complete TCP and UDP communications access from within 4D. With ITK v2.5.x/v2.6.x, 4D developers now have available a complete SSL communications and encryption layer for all TCP communications handled within 4D.
If you are new to providing TCP level communications support in your 4th Dimension applications, Internet ToolKit is the ideal tool for your needs. And, if you are already familiar with the ITK product, ITK v2.5.x/v2.6.x offers the single easiest path to providing SSL security to all of your TCP communications.
With ITK version v2.6.0 release and above, full support for Mac OS X and 4D v6.8.x and above under Carbon has been added.
