[Declude.JunkMail] Beginner configuration?

2005-03-04 Thread Joey Proulx
Hello,
Just downloaded the demo version of Junkmail Pro, and I was curious about 
the basic setup.  For the last two days I've monitored and tweaked and held 
and redirected and spent hours upon hours looking over the junkmail setup 
and rules and whatnot.  I'm wondering if I'm reinventing the wheel.  I work 
for a school district with a big spam problem, but as any of you in gov't 
know, if I tell them we should buy something I need to make sure it 
works.  I was just wondering if there are any tried and true setups that 
any of you are using to cut down on the spam.  I'm seeing that this system 
works, but I'm also still running the built-in Imail filter, and I've seen 
quite a few messages that get caught by Imail, but have a Declude score of 
0, that should NOT have made it through.  Do you all still run the builtin 
Imail spam as well?  Any filters I should definitely setup?

I'm seeing a lot of CMDSPACE and SPAMHEADERS (missing MessageID header) 
from some local clients (I don't control all my clients, so I don't think I 
can make them authenticate).  Should I do away with these tests, or can I 
fix these two issues on the server side?

Thanks for all your help.

Query THOSE DNS servers to see if they have MX/A records.  Sometimes people
have an internal DNS server for the AD domain that doesn't have the

That was it.
Thanks Andy!

Joey, 

Declude is very effective when tweaked.  Not to mention the default 
global.cfg ships without all of the RBL's that most of us use (XBL, UCE, 
MAIL-POLICE, SENDERDB).  Also, there are other 3rd patry utilties which are 
very effective at catching spam like like invURIBL and Message Sniffer.  
Both of those applications have trial versions. 

Are you still using the default scale?  Since you have been working with 
your global.cfg you might want to post it to the list for us to look over it 
and see what you have done so far as to make suggestions. 

For your clients that you are not in control of I would imagine that you 
know the ip blocks they come from or the firewall ip that they are behind 
that.  You can whitelist that ip so that them failing the cmdspace will not 
be a factor.  CMDSPACE is very effective but direct connects from clients 
using outlook will set that off. 

For SPAMHEADERS I use LOOSENSPAMHEADERS   ON this relaxes the spamheaders 
test so that it does not trigger on missing message ID emails. 

Hope that helps,
Darrell

Joey, 

A couple of thoughts. 

1.) Look at adding a content test like invURIBL or Message Sniffer.  Both 
have trials.
2.) I would not give a negative weight for BONDEDSENDER or SPFPASS. Spammers 
can easily setup SPF records.
3.) Add a few of the other RBL style tests.  make sure you adjust the weight 
for your system and add the corresponding entries in the $default$.junkmail 
file.

Right, so they have to make it so that we can account for this which is what 
they didn't do when they made the change in 2.0 as we do know what the account 
name is, however, if you don't have pro version that is even a bigger issue.  
Not a problem for me, but perhaps others.

 I generally agree that the new function is desirable. Now we just need to
 figure out how to implement it robustly.
 
 E.g., when Declude modifies the envelope to the new route-to
 address, it
 may have to remember that new recipient so that it can reference it in
 case it later encounters a DELETE action.
 
 Or, to reverse that logic, let the ROUTETO remember the new recipient -
 but don't actually update the envelope until Spam processing for
 that user
 is complete.

 The problem is the COPYALL account as it will always be HELD rather than
 have SPAM deleted as it always fails enough HOLD actions prior to DELETE
 weight.

 And as the COPYALL isn't a real part of the envelope it most likely
 causes more problems since it is added somewhere in IMAIL as a seperate
 addressee.

  I expect to re-route email that fails WEIGHT10 but to simply delete
  email when it fails the higher weight because the probability of spam
  there is much higher and I do not want to waste my time checking it.
  The problem is that the WEIGHT10 ROUTETO action removes me as a
  recipient and replaces me with [EMAIL PROTECTED]; when the DELETE action
  is triggered, it tries to delete me as a recipient, but I have already
  been replaced, so the deletion does not occur.
 
 
 Wow, that is REALLY NOT how this should be working.  The clear and
 obvious mistake was to let the ROUTETO action change the recipient for
 which the actions were being applied.  If you don't see the err in this,
 please chime up because I could write a book about how this is bad and
 will have many unintended consequences.

I have not been following the thread in detail, but if some one that is
having the problem would change to WEIGHTRANGE instead of WEIGHT and ensure
there are no overlappings, I have a feeling the at least part of the
problem might be resolved.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Beginner configuration?

2005-03-04 Thread Joey Proulx
Thanks Dan,
Is it generally frowned upon to use another company's spam setup, like 
yours?  My feelings are that I'm not very experienced with this and you 
seem to have a very nice setup.  I know I'd have to change a few things to 
reflect our system, but it would take me years to learn enough about spam 
and mail servers to setup something like that.  Mail is only a fraction of 
what I do here...I need as much a plug and play system as I can :)

Thanks.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Beginner configuration?
 Hello,

 Just downloaded the demo version of Junkmail Pro, and I was curious about
 the basic setup.  For the last two days I've monitored and tweaked and
held
 and redirected and spent hours upon hours looking over the junkmail setup
 and rules and whatnot.  I'm wondering if I'm reinventing the wheel.  I
work
 for a school district with a big spam problem, but as any of you in gov't
 know, if I tell them we should buy something I need to make sure it
 works.  I was just wondering if there are any tried and true setups that
 any of you are using to cut down on the spam.  I'm seeing that this system
 works, but I'm also still running the built-in Imail filter, and I've seen
 quite a few messages that get caught by Imail, but have a Declude score of
 0, that should NOT have made it through.  Do you all still run the builtin
 Imail spam as well?  Any filters I should definitely setup?

 I'm seeing a lot of CMDSPACE and SPAMHEADERS (missing MessageID header)
 from some local clients (I don't control all my clients, so I don't think
I
 can make them authenticate).  Should I do away with these tests, or can I
 fix these two issues on the server side?

 Thanks for all your help.

No, this isn't an appropriate solution. The change makes ROUTETO the
final action, and now it has precedence over DELETE. If you have a
filter called BLACKLIST-NO-MATTER-WHAT set to DELETE, and a message
fails that test plus it fails something that has a ROUTETO action, it
will not be deleted. This change removes our ability to override
ROUTETO in special circumstances. While most issues will be fixed by
preventing the overlapping of weight ranges and the actions, that only
applies to weight based things, and this ties our hands when it comes
to taking actions regardless of weight. That's completely
unacceptable, and I also assume that it was unintentional; the result
of an oversight.

If DELETE is to be changed in the way that they did, they must make it
be able to target a recipient that has already been tagged with
ROUTETO. It makes no sense to use the changed ROUTETO address for
determining further actions. This will also be very difficult to
troubleshoot in some circumstances and also difficult to keep track of.

Declude needs to make sure that the actions are not applied based on
the ROUTETO address' config, but instead the original recipient's
config. If they did that, all problems would be solved, including the
overlapping weight range issue that seemingly has stung so many here.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Beginner configuration?

2005-03-04 Thread Colbeck, Andrew
Chipping in my two cents, I'd say you've received excellent advice for
tuning Declude so far.

As a busy sysadmin myself, I'll add some less specific advice from the
field.  Hopefully others will see fit to add their observations.

Go with the weighted system.

You're busy, but resist the urge to go for need a bigger hammer
solutions.  The worst thing you can do is create a filter or ramp up the
weight for a specific blacklist, or make a DELETE action on a single
test.

Living with some spam is better than spending all of your time fighting
it and fishing false positives out of your spam folder.

Start with Declude 2.x, the organization of the log file makes it far
more readable than previous versions.

Your users will call you about missing mail (false positives).  Get
specific information from them about who sent it to whom and when.
Write down your procedure for finding these missing emails and how to
re-queue them.

grep is your friend.  Use find.exe if you're more comfortable, but if
you have large logs or a slow computer, you'll love using grep instead.

Hi Nick, John, Eric, Fritz, Kevin, Dan, 
NCL Admin, et al:
 This 
change removes our ability to override ROUTETO in special 
circumstances.
I recommendyou sit tight just a little longer. 
The "new" behavior apparently was not intended and I'm certain, Declude will be 
made "downward" compatible.
It may help to check your configurations to whether you 
can company specific (= per domain) actions. If you 
areusing either of these two 
features:

- 
\Domain.com\$default$.junkmail- 
REDIRECT @domain.com
then 
this may explain the (unexpected/temporarily) changed handling of DELETE, HOLD 
and other actions. Again, I believe this will be 
corrected.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude 2.x

2005-03-04 Thread Matt




Kevin,

A per-domain config can also have an effect. This very well might not
be the case with your issue, but in this context I believe that I
should explain further just in case.

If you have a message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that fails tests that
result in both a ROUTETO and DELETE action for example.com, it might
not actually get deleted, instead after failing the ROUTETO action, it
will use the config for whatever per-domain/per-user config the ROUTETO
was pointed at. So if it was ROUTETO [EMAIL PROTECTED], then
Declude would pull the config for otherdomain.com or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and only execute actions based on that, or at
least that is what I understand. If it didn't fail a DELETE test in
otherdomain.com, it would simply be delivered to the ROUTETO address.

While most issues that this creates can be worked around, it is
unwieldy, excessively complicated, and clearly leads to unexpected
results, especially in a multiple domain environment with per-domain
configs, or those with per-user configs. From a high level view, the
fix is simple, they just shouldn't use the ROUTETO address's config for
determining actions. They should only use the final recipient in
IMail, prior to reaching Declude, for determining all actions.

If you post more of your circumstance, maybe one of us can come up with
an idea as to what is happening.

Matt

A couple of thoughts. 

1.) Look at adding a content test like invURIBL or Message Sniffer.  Both
have trials.
2.) I would not give a negative weight for BONDEDSENDER or SPFPASS. Spammers
can easily setup SPF records.
3.) Add a few of the other RBL style tests.  make sure you adjust the weight

Joey,  

A couple of thoughts.  

1.) Look at adding a content test like invURIBL or Message Sniffer.  Both
have trials.
2.) I would not give a negative weight for BONDEDSENDER or SPFPASS. Spammers
can easily setup SPF records.
3.) Add a few of the other RBL style tests.  make sure you adjust the weight
for your system and add the corresponding entries in the $default$.junkmail
file.

Hi Richard:
Well ONE copy came through (with the subject Sent Best For Email).  I
appears to have a good reverse DNS, a good HELO.
It is using YOUR email address as the MAIL FROM - which is fine, unless your
postfix mail gateway does not allow email from the outside to have your
domain name?
I can't be certain, whether the Message ID is there's or whether it was
missing and inserted by Imail (that could trigger Declude).
DNSstuff.com is down - so I can't tell how bad that IP address is - but it
appears that it is black-listed with FIVETEN.
I have not seen your second email - I'll have to chase it in the logs.

All these get held on my system because you send it from your

Marc - can you post the headers from the held message file. You mention it
fails the spam domains test - for all we know there are other factors (such

The code they use on the pagesubtracts five hours, which results in a

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] catchallmails question

2005-03-04 Thread Imail Admin
Title: Message



Hey Scott,

This is really a question for you about JM. 
The JM log file lists "passed" messages as "L1 Message OK", so it's only the 
failed messages that list the actual tests failed. However, isn't 
catchallmails supposed to fail for all messages? So it must be the JM 
ignores the catchallmails failure when listing a message as "OK." Is this 
understanding correct?

I'm just trying to understand the behavior in the 
log files. Should all "failed" messages always list catchallmails? 
If so, does that mean the a count of the number of catchallmails-failed messages 
in the log should equal the number of messages that failed some (other) 
test? For example, if I have a log of 10,000 messages, and I know that 
7,000 of them list the catchallmails option in their list of failed messages, 
that should mean there were 7,000 messages (70%) that failed some other 
test.

Thanks,

Ben

  catchallmails question
  
  Thanks, Darrell. This at least sets me on 
  the right path. I don't believe "Whitelist AUTH" is something we use 
  because we're running IMail 7.15, which, I believe, doesn't support that 
  option. However, there must be other,similar causes for being 
  skipped.
  
  So, does anyone know a list of reasons why 
  messages would be skipped? Obviously, a whitelist of address, domains, 
  and IPs, would be one possibility.
  
  For that matter, does anyone have a utility that 
  would analyze messages being skipped? It would seem an obvious thing to 
  review, in case a whitelisted source (AUTH, address, etc.) becomes 
  hijacked. Perhaps this would be a good addition for 
  DLAnalyzer.

catchallmails question

Ben,

There are various conditions that can account 
for messages being picked up without being marked with the "CATCHALLMAILS" 
test. A good bulk of these instances occur because a message under 
certain conditions will not loga "Test failed" line.

One example is "Whitelist AUTH" in this 
particular example the only line that is logged in the Declude log for that 
particular message is this.

02/28/2004 00:01:59 Q57371524c9ad Skipping 
E-mail from authenticated user [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 
whitelisted.

In regards to DLAnalyzer it will count this as 
a message (as it should), but there will be no tests associated with it like 
"catchallmails" because the "Tests failed" line is not logged. There 
are other situations where this also occurs, but that one stuck into my 
head.

Hope that helps.

  results:

  You can ignore the Weight tests; those are 
  just weight ranges and not real tests. Here's the thing: 
  Catchallmails also is not a real test; it's supposed to catch all 
  emails. So why doesn't the Catchallmails statistic above show 
  100%? The system is telling me that Catchallmails only caught 
  48%.
  
  I should mention that Catchallmails comes in 
  the global.cfg file after the regular tests, and after the weight ranges, 
  but before a handful of whitelisted IPs.
  
  Help, please?

 Joey,
 
 Declude is very effective when tweaked.  Not to mention the default
 global.cfg ships without all of the RBL's that most of us use (XBL, UCE,
 MAIL-POLICE, SENDERDB).  Also, there are other 3rd patry utilties which
 are
 very effective at catching spam like like invURIBL and Message Sniffer.
 Both of those applications have trial versions.
 
 Are you still using the default scale?  Since you have been working with
 your global.cfg you might want to post it to the list for us to look over
 it
 and see what you have done so far as to make suggestions.
 
 For your clients that you are not in control of I would imagine that you
 know the ip blocks they come from or the firewall ip that they are behind
 that.  You can whitelist that ip so that them failing the cmdspace will
 not
 be a factor.  CMDSPACE is very effective but direct connects from clients
 using outlook will set that off.
 
 For SPAMHEADERS I use LOOSENSPAMHEADERS   ON this relaxes the
 spamheaders
 test so that it does not trigger on missing message ID emails.
 
 Hope that helps,
 Darrell

  I work for a school district with a big spam problem, but as any of you

 it
  works.  I was just wondering if there are any tried and true setups that
  any of you are using to cut down on the spam.  I'm seeing that this

 seen
  quite a few messages that get caught by Imail, but have a Declude score
 of
  0, that should NOT have made it through.  Do you all still run the
 builtin
  Imail spam as well?  Any filters I should definitely setup?
 
  I'm seeing a lot of CMDSPACE and SPAMHEADERS (missing MessageID header)
  from some local clients (I don't control all my clients, so I don't
 think
  I can make them authenticate).  Should I do away with these tests, or
 can
  I fix these two issues on the server side?

It is my understanding that is a global command and is only supported in the

 Joey,

 Declude is very effective when tweaked.  Not to mention the default
 global.cfg ships without all of the RBL's that most of us use (XBL, UCE,
 MAIL-POLICE, SENDERDB).  Also, there are other 3rd patry utilties which
 are
 very effective at catching spam like like invURIBL and Message Sniffer.
 Both of those applications have trial versions.

 Are you still using the default scale?  Since you have been working with
 your global.cfg you might want to post it to the list for us to look over
 it
 and see what you have done so far as to make suggestions.

 For your clients that you are not in control of I would imagine that you
 know the ip blocks they come from or the firewall ip that they are behind
 that.  You can whitelist that ip so that them failing the cmdspace will
 not
 be a factor.  CMDSPACE is very effective but direct connects from clients
 using outlook will set that off.

 For SPAMHEADERS I use LOOSENSPAMHEADERS   ON this relaxes the
 spamheaders
 test so that it does not trigger on missing message ID emails.

 Hope that helps,
 Darrell

  Hello,
 
  Just downloaded the demo version of Junkmail Pro, and I was curious
 about
  the basic setup.  For the last two days I've monitored and tweaked and
  held and redirected and spent hours upon hours looking over the junkmail
  setup and rules and whatnot.  I'm wondering if I'm reinventing the
 wheel.
  I work for a school district with a big spam problem, but as any of you
 in
  gov't know, if I tell them we should buy something I need to make sure
 it
  works.  I was just wondering if there are any tried and true setups that
  any of you are using to cut down on the spam.  I'm seeing that this
 system
  works, but I'm also still running the built-in Imail filter, and I've
 seen
  quite a few messages that get caught by Imail, but have a Declude score
 of
  0, that should NOT have made it through.  Do you all still run the
 builtin
  Imail spam as well?  Any filters I should definitely setup?
 
  I'm seeing a lot of CMDSPACE and SPAMHEADERS (missing MessageID header)
  from some local clients (I don't control all my clients, so I don't
 think
  I can make them authenticate).  Should I do away with these tests, or
 can
  I fix these two issues on the server side?
 
  Thanks for all your help.

2005-03-04 Thread Darin Cox



FYI...your clock script flickers 
needlessly... Instead of refreshing every 1/10 of a second, you might want 
to change the following line in your clock script

window.setTimeout("tick();", 100);

Torefresh every second...

window.setTimeout("tick();", 1000);

or even strip off the seconds and just display 
minutes.

Many web developers put this in for the "cool" 
factor, or because they can, butseconds provide little value in this 
case.

You're up late g. Looks good. 
You may want to remove the trailing colon, though.
Darin.

Darin,

Check now - is that better? I noticed the flicker 
seemed to only occur in FireFox not IE.

  FYI...your clock script flickers 
  needlessly... Instead of refreshing every 1/10 of a second, you might 
  want to change the following line in your clock script
  
  window.setTimeout("tick();", 100);
  
  Torefresh every second...
  
  window.setTimeout("tick();", 1000);
  
  or even strip off the seconds and just display 
  minutes.
  
  Many web developers put this in for the "cool" 
  factor, or because they can, butseconds provide little value in this 
  case.
  Darin.

  Thank you for your feedback. Ihave fixed 
  it.Friday night 10:30 pm. What we do too please our customers ;) As for 
  the website it is my responsibility and not that of our programmers, so you 
  can be confident that this does not reflect our programmers 
  skills.

Actually, it shows -4 hours. 


GMTas I write thisis 
01:46 The code they use on the pagesubtracts five hours, which results 
in a value of -4 for the hours. They need to add a line to add 24 if the 
result is negative. I'm sure it 
looks fine 19 hours a day, though...

And no, it does not giveme a 
lot of confidence, either, but now that we've aired the problem and the 
cure, let's see how long it takes to fix...
