[Declude.JunkMail] Using non filtered domains

2003-01-04 Thread Rich
When we set up a alias in a non-filtered domain to deliver mail to a 
filtered domain, is that mail filtered when it's transfered to the 
non-filtered box?  I've got a customer that wants freelotto.com delivered 
and the only way I can set that up for him and him alone would be to 
transfer the mail through one of our domains that isn't filtered.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Using non filtered domains

2003-01-04 Thread John Tolmachoff
I may be wrong, but I believe Imail during the receipt of the message
configures the Q files with who the message is for. This means that Imail
will see a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], see that configured as an alias for
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and place in the Q file [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the
recipient. Declude will then scan based on the configuration for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

The nobody alias is treated differently I believe.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] External test question

2003-01-04 Thread Markus Gufler

 Yesterday, we processed 2430 messages.
 About 39% of those were identified as spam.
 Out of that, about 50 were false positives.

2 questions:
A.) With identified as spam you mean they reached the hold value? 
B.) With 2430 processed msgs you mean inbound + outbound?
In this case 39% is a very high value if you've not some spammers as
client that create outgoing spam.

My statement is based on the values of our actual report. (see attached
pdf ) We calculate the spam ratio only on incoming msgs because our 100%
smtp-auth-clients doesn't send spam. I think it's not possible to
indicate precise values that have general validity for every server.
This especially during the christmas/new year-days.

I would only say that the most of all messages - I hope always 50% -
will never reach the hold value because they aren't spam. I tought that
it is not too much work to implement this option. Scott already answered
that is not so. Both you and we doesn't need this option but for example
if the isp where I worked before ( 5 msgs/day) want to implement an
antispam-module he will ask for it.

Another note:
2430 msgs/day
39% = 947 msgs hold msgs
50 fp's = around 5%

We've begun to record our fp's/day a week ago as you can see in the
report. There we're from 0 to 4 (=2,8%) fp's/day. Most of them caused by
SpamChk because our test criterias are in developement. Probably this
value will increase on both your and our side in the next days when
people returned from holidays begin to send real msgs. 
I think it can be very dangerous for the helpdesk if the customers
understand that fp's can occur. They will call to ask if there is a fp
even if there is something wrong on your system/internet access and he
can't retrieve any mail.

 Hi Scott,
 
 sorry - that reply just makes no sense:
 
 a)  When a DNS server returns a SOA record in response to a query, it
 means that the queried resource doesn't exist. 
 
 No - in this case it means I specifically INSTRUCTED NSLOOKUP to return
the
 SOA as my sample showed:
 
  set type=soa 
 
 
 b)  If you go to
 http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=www3.grepel.detype=A 
 
 Why would I do that?  Why www3?  Where you do get that name from?
 
 
 c) My question was specific to:
 
 http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnstime.ch?name=grepel.detype=SOA
 http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=grepel.de
 
 I expect BOTH of these to look for the SOA records, not for some imaginary
 www3 records.  Why else does DNSSTUFF let me specify
 name=grepel.detype=SOA ?
 
 
 d) But, since I'm a good sport, I also tried to look up www3.grepel.de:
 
 D:\nslookup
  server m.root-servers.net.
 Default Server:  m.root-servers.net
 Address:  202.12.27.33
 
  www3.grepel.de.

  set type=a

 So again I ask - why can NSLOOKUP find the www3.grepel.de - but DNSSTUFF
 can't?

 A.) With identified as spam you mean they reached the hold value?

Those stats I posted where actually from the NoXMail report. Any message
failing NoXMail is weighted with 20 and we hold at 20.

 B.) With 2430 processed msgs you mean inbound + outbound?

Includes inbound and outbound. There were 119 outbound.

 In this case 39% is a very high value if you've not some spammers as
 client that create outgoing spam

Do not the nature of some of our client users, they get a lot of spam.
(Surfing the web, inserting their e-mail address, responding to requests to
opt-out. Stuff like that that spammers use to harvest addresses.)

According to recently collected Message Sniffer logs, on average more than
