[Assp-user] process order and cpu utilization
it looks to me that cpu use has rised a little in the last few builds, and delaying triplests have doubled. i think that's due to a change in processing order (maybe you put delaying before helo check) . Is that correct ? (btw, i have have zero Invalid PTR: in my stats, so i can't tell if that works) - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Is that correct ? ASSP is configuring the processing order itself. The general rule here is, that checks with collection option 6 are performed earlier and that setting testmode for a check moves it to a later point. To put in real world: if you want to see CCSPAMALL from HELO checks you would place them in collection modus 3 or 7, that would move the HELO checks behind Delaying. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

2007/1/23, Marrco [EMAIL PROTECTED]: (btw, i have have zero Invalid PTR: in my stats, so i can't tell if that works) Have you searched your log for PTR missing? Using ASSP v1.2.7.1(68) you should see something like: Jan-23-07 hh:mm:ss 65.70.243.86 [EMAIL PROTECTED] to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender Validation:scoring + 5: PTR missing for 65.70.243.86 Jan-23-07 hh:mm:ss PB: 65.70.243.86 score: 20+5 = 25 reason:65.70.243.86:PTRmissing (depending on your logging-settings...) Do you have Reversed Lookup set to 3 = score only? It won't count in the stats then. The mail may count as Penalty Box Blocked or another spam hit or as Bayesian Ham... - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Andreas Krüger wrote: I was trying that, but i dont understand the extreme blocking for the penalty box. If you will look in the Penalty Box configuration options you will note an Extreme Threshold option. When IP addresses reach a PB score matching or exceeding that option the IP is recorded to the extreme file and they are blocked for the amount of time set in the option labeled Expiration Time for Extreme Denials. Furthers, what is a forged helo? An invalid HELO greeting messsage used by SMTP servers. ASSP has an option to check connecting servers helo messages against the rfcs and optionally penalize them for having an invalid one. Personally I find this blocks more spambots. And lastly, what is the RBL cache for? Rather than checking the RBL servers each time we get a connection ASSP caches the results for ip's that have had posistive hits for an ammount of time specified in the admin interface. RBL cache hits are when ASSP has the IP address in it's cache from a previous RBL check. This saves processing time as you do not have to wait for a DNS response for each and every connection. That should cover those questions for the most part. Kevin - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
