[Declude.JunkMail] Question on Smartermail Domain forwarding/Declude issue
Hi All; We have a couple customers that we used to host mail for that now have their own Exchange servers. However, we still filter their mail using the Smartermail 4.3 Domain Forwarding feature. We normally mark mail with 15 spam points and delete at 40. They have asked us to no longer delete any messages. Does anyone know, can we do an individual config for them by making a sub folder with the domain name as is normally done. From what I can see, this does not work. Anyone know for sure?

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Valid Senders - Best Declude Practices
Hi Mike; I feel your pain, processing 200,000 messages a day for about 15K good ones. It sounds to me like your server may just be underpowered. We just upgraded our server to a new unit moving from Windows 2000 to 2003 R2 and to Dual, Dual core Opterons, even with only one CPU on the mobo now I can tell that we would be able to handle a number like 1M messages a day with Declued/sniffer/smartermail just fine. The better hardware gives you more licensing bang for the buck. Herb Michael Cummins wrote: I can strongly consider Alligate in front of Declude. So let's say I build a dedicated Alligate box to live in front of my two Declude enabled servers. How much of a load would it be able to handle? I would need it to handle close to 250k messages per day (current combined load) with room to grow, and it looks like Alligate is yet-another-thousand-dollar-thing-that-will-need-yearly-subscriptions-of-hun dreds-of-dollars. I'd be happier if I could just send my money to one company. So would Declude, I'm sure. But hey. If that's what you gotta do. I was thinking of using a home built postfix gateway to go in front of the boxen, and if I need more I was just going to add more identical postfix boxen a la round robin DNS. Bad idea? Good idea? But my customers could use some help today, which is why I was thinking of using Declude to do some recipient verification. Conceptually, that would cut down the work load considerably, right? I've been having trouble with my Message Sniffer (in persistent mode) going into a cascading failure during peak periods because of the volume; so I leave it off most of the time, which is a huge waste. I'm just wondering how to go about using Declude to do this. Thanks for all the feedback! I've got an open mind. -- Michael Cummins --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Valid Senders - Best Declude Practices
Yes, we do it to filter for some customers that want to run their own mail server but not have to deal with managing virus and spam filters. We use the same smartermail server to host about 80 domains/1400 mailboxes and do domain forwarding for another 10 or so domains with about 500 addl mailboxes.

I have a box that I use as an incoming relay for about 30 or so Exchange servers that all live out in the wild. I run Smarter Mail, Declude, Message Sniffer, INVURIBL, F-Prot and all kinds of good stuff before I pass it along to the Exchange server with SmarterMail domain forwarding. I am getting my ass kicked by volume because the mail server accepts any address and forwards it along; most of which of course are addresses that don't exist. I'm building a gateway box in the near future, which will help keep the incoming fluff down a bit, I'm sure, but what I really need to do is to implement some kind of valid recipient list. I doubt that I'll be able to LDAP all over God's green earth with any kind of reliability or speed. Since the gateway won't be implemented for a few weeks, I'm been playing with things to get ready for it, namely, how to get valid sender lists from such a disparate group of Exchange servers. So. I patched together this _vbscript_ that exports a list of exchange addresses using LDAP into a text file. It runs as a WinCron job. I created a batch file that uploads it to one of my Cold Fusion servers. That runs as a WinCron job, too. I wrote a Cold Fusion script that looks for these silly text files every so many minutes and then parses the crappy, cluttered thing into a nice clean CSV for me, and now I can do anything I want with it. I imagine that someday I'll use it in conjunction with the gateway, but hey, I have this information right now. What would be the best way to use this information with Declude? Ideally, it should be implemented on a per domain basis, in case I can't get some Exchange servers to play nice with me. Eventually I suppose it will be mandatory, I'm sure, but not right now when I am coming up with best practices, eh? So do I set up each text file for each domain as a separate filter? And then only use it in the applicable per domain junkmail file? Is that the best way to do it? Or am I making Declude work too hard? I would really love any suggestions you might have.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] End of headers {was - declude not modifying subject line}
Hi Mike; I'm sure that you are correct, but it would have to be both malformed and have the large header. Right now there are hundreds of messages a day slipping thru that are not being addressed at all. This MAY be a way to get the vast majority of them without the apparent difficulty of finding the end of the header so that it can by modified. So far the ones I have seen have been image spam that are do not have a large number of to addresses. Thanks for your feedback.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] declude not modifying subject line
Hi David; In an earlier message (below) you mentioned that you were working on adding the ability to handle these malformed messages. A couple questions. 1. When will this happen as it has been a problem for quite a while now? 2. The messages themselves are not failing any of the tests that I am using. Shouldn't we at least be able to have them fail a test and then take an action based on that? Also, I want to make sure that all of my config files are correct, and that I do not have any depreciated tests in them. When I go to the online manuals on your site, the links to the tests are broken, and I cannot find samples of the config files. Can you tell me where they are, and perhaps update the links in the KB so that they do point to them?

This source of this problem is that these messages do not conform to the RFC's and are extremely broken and should not be accepted by the mail server in the first place. That is the source of the problem, Declude is showing the symptom. Have you approached SmarterMail/Imail and asked them to fix this issue, either not accept the message or apply message standardization ? What was their response ? With that said, we are working on correcting this problem because clearly the Mail server is not doing it. Secondly, there are alternatives to marking the Subject line and having the mail server take action based on the headers. You could use actions like. # MAILBOX will move the E-mail to a user's folder (no, not a Windows directory) # ROUTETO will re-route the E-mail to an alternate address # HOLD will hold the message in the spool\spam directory.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] declude not modifying subject line
Hi David; Thanks for the tip on the resource directory, never thought of looking there, altho would be good to restore the link in your KB as well. I would also like to respond to your reply to others in the thread in which you state that it is not productive to have to repeatedly address the same issue. I would respond as a customer by telling you that we spend a significant amount of our time addressing customer complaints. I know that ourselves, and I am sure many others are not in a position to delete email messages, but need to mark them to give users the ability to create and maintain their own filters. So our pain becomes your pain. So, if our customers are getting hammered on this issue every day and every week, and folks want to know why spam that you are identifying is not being marked as spam, I'd sure like to know an elegant answer to give them other than "it doesn't work and is being worked on". I personally get at least 10-20 of these a day, so I get 10 - 20 reminders that I am unhappy. I am not trying to beat up on you or Declude, we have been a customer for many years, and wish to remain so. I'm sure that it will be some work to solve the problem as it is a non trivial task. However, what do you expect us to do, go quietly into the night? There are two ways to stop getting questions on this subject. 1. Fix the problem and get kudos instead of complaints. or 2. Give a real expected date to address the issue and tell us where in the task stack the issue is. The we can either wait or go elsewhere if the timing on the issue is not going to work for us. Last point, on contacting Smartermail in our case, or Imail in other cases. What we would be asking them to do is not deliver messages that they, Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, and I would guess most every other mail server and email client handle somehow. Non RFC complaint mail is part of the environment, I don't think that that is really the way to go. My goal is not to discourage you, or pick on yourself and Declude, but to get the issue addressed. Wouldn't it be great to cross this item off your list :) Take care, Herb David Barker wrote: Herb, 1. This is currently being worked on, there are several other things that need to be taken into account when doing this, for example if Declude has to rewrite all me messages in order to correct this problem there will be a hit on performance. We are also looking at some other alternatives. Any suggestions are welcome. 2. This is not as simple as having these type of messages fail a test as there are too many variables in play wrt line terminators. 3.

A couple questions. 1. When will this happen as it has been a problem for quite a while now? 2. The messages themselves are not failing any of the tests that I am using. Shouldn't we at least be able to have them fail a test and then take an action based on that? Also, I want to make sure that all of my config files are correct, and that I do not have any depreciated tests in them. When I go to the online manuals on your site, the links to the "tests" are broken, and I cannot find samples of the config files. Can you tell me where they are, and perhaps update the links in the KB so that they do point to them?

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] declude not modifying subject line
Hi David; First, I'd like to thank you for your response, it is the first that I have had and I really appreciate it. I realize that the issue is the either accidentally or purposely malformed messages. I would assume that there is a whole spectrum of message rfc compliance out there, and everyone has to draw the line somewhere. In an ideal world we could apply some very exact rules and just say too bad, so sad and reject the messages. However customers would view this as I did not get my email and in effect a false positive. So, outright rejection would not be the solution I think. However, to answer your question, we have not approached smartermail on the issue as that is not our spam tool vendor. I think that any message that an email client can display should be viewed as compliant enough from a real world perspective, even tho I agree that philosophically that is not the way it should be. Do you have an idea as to what the time frame for an update to this will be? Take care, Herb David Barker wrote: Herb, I need to clarify something here. This source of this problem is that these messages do not conform to the RFC's and are extremely broken and should not be accepted by the mail server in the first place. That is the source of the problem, Declude is showing the symptom. Have you approached SmarterMail/Imail and asked them to fix this issue, either not accept the message or apply message standardization ? What was their response ? With that said, we are working on correcting this problem because clearly the Mail server is not doing it. Secondly, there are alternatives to marking the Subject line and having the mail server take action based on the headers. You could use actions like. # MAILBOX will move the E-mail to a user's folder (no, not a Windows directory) # ROUTETO will re-route the E-mail to an alternate address # HOLD will hold the message in the spool\spam directory.

We process about 60K to 80 K every day. And from time to time I found between 8K to 10K in our PROC. It seems to be an spammer flood, but my server is not able to manage it fast enough to empty the directory. We use Declude (version 4.3.7), sniffer latest engine, inv-urbland f-prot When checking at the task manager I see quite a few (8 or 10) sniffer processes running at the same time as well as f-prot and inv-urbl processes, but not fast enough to empty the proc directory. The PROCESSES directive seems to not work. I don't know how to speed up the processes unless I remove sniffer, inv-urbland f-prot.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] bad header mods by Declude
Hi John; Thanks for the links, and yes, I did just join this list this week. Kind of discouraging actually to see that this has been a known issue for a long time and has not been solved. I had not even thought of the issue re sneaking thru a virus as well. With all of the exchanges I did not actually see an official statement as to when this will be fixed other than that it has perhaps been moved up in priority. I understand that supplying products like declude and sniffer, etc. is not a barrel of laughs as it is a battle. But as a customer I sure want the troops to be protecting my customers. I wonder if a document on issues that are known and being worked on, with a priority and eta that would be under the customer logged in area would help. That way Declude would not have to keep answering some of the same questions over and over again. I know that disclosure can be painful, but at the end of the day it does just reflect reality, the only difference is customers know what is happening instead of guessing. Take care, Herb John T (Lists) wrote: Hello Herb and welcome to the Declude JunkMail list. This is a known issue with spam that has "improper" coding in the header and has been discussed at length.
