Re: [Declude.JunkMail] WHITELIST HABEAS

2004-01-12 Thread R. Scott Perry

Do most people use WHITELIST HABEAS? I'm thinking of turning this off since
the large majority of spammers have already demonstrated their willingness
to ignore the legality of their activities.
That's kind of like asking if you should move your store to another town, 
since the store next to yours was robbed yesterday, and a lot of people in 
your town drive over the speed limit.

Moving out of town would be a very bad business move without further 
information.  One of the key pieces of information would be how the police 
handle the situation.  If they catch the criminal the next day and punish 
him in a way that is fair but discourages other criminals from robbing 
stores, would you really want to leave?

But Scott, do you leave your front door unlocked if there is a bugler 
actively on the lose?

Could you move this from whitelisting to weighting in order to help 
protect from such things for non-Pro users?  That might make a lot of 
sense.  This is just some header code, and that's all it takes.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] WHITELIST HABEAS

2004-01-12 Thread Matt
It's unsafe to whitelist in general unless you have control over what is 
sending, or a good relationship with the sender.  Habeas is totally not 
that.  This should be a weighted test instead of something that gets 
whitelisted.  Maybe Scott could move this to the same type functionality 
used in technical tests, where you can apply weights.  Other have been 
using JunkMail Pro with filters to deduct points for a headers search.  
Personally, I have turned all of that off, and it's most definitely 
being abused right now.

Good point and I do agree with one minor counter point ... we have little to
no feedback about how *the police are handling the situation.* I reported
the incident to Habeas and here's a snippet from their response:

[Please know that at Habeas we take the use of our trademark in spam very
seriously, and that while we cannot report back to you directly and
individually on the disposition of each submission, know that we will
investigate and follow this through to a satisfactory conclusion - either
the responsible party ceasing their infringing action, their being
appropriately dealt with by their service provider, or, failing any
satisfactory remedial action, listing in our Habeas Infringers List.]

Plus how many spam messages will be whitelisted while the police
investigate the incident and the courts go through all their motions (if it
even gets that far)?

We turned Habeas whitelisting off a long time ago.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] WHITELIST HABEAS

2004-01-12 Thread Colbeck, Andrew
Declude sure is a Swiss Army Knife...

I want to see Habeas succeed, and I think that misuse of their warrant by
a spammer through zombies is going to be a real test for them.  Their
business model is built around suing a SpamHaus or a misbehaved mailing
house (like Topica, to pick something at random).

Here's what I do:

I use their ip4r test to catch mail from any mail host that Habeas has
indicated is a problem:

HIL  ip4r  hil.habeas.com   127.0.0.2   40   0

And to proceed with finding their warrant in the header, reward it, and log
it, I have:

MYHABEAS   filter   C:\IMail\Declude\MyHabeas.txt   x   0   0

which contains:

REVDNS   END ENDSWITH .habeas.com
HEADERS  -10 CONTAINS X-Habeas-SWE-3: like Habeas SWE (tm)

The reason for the first line in the filter file is that I'm not interested
in logging e-mail from Habeas.com that contains their own warrant.  Now I
can search my log for MYHABEAS to find the good guys and bad guys.  And then
report the original email from the bad guys to Habeas.

What I'm finding is that the bad guys are scoring quite high and that the
Habeas counterweight is having relatively little effect on their score.  And
for the legitimate bulk mailers that are using the warrant, none are scoring
high enough to be held in my configuration.

So YOU, gentle reader, might find that simply not using any Habeas
counterweighting will work for you just fine.

We're getting a LOT of spam with HABEAS headers, presumably because the

As long as systems can be hijacked, Habeas and SPF won't be worth very much.
