Subject: RE: [sniffer] Sniffer, MDLP, and
invURIBL?
Joe,
Are you using MDLP to autotune your weights in
Declude? If so, you can exclude invURIBL and other tests which you don't
want to change, whether because you think the weight is perfect, or because
their randomness doesn't fit MDLP's idea of a weighting
system.
Check out this snippet from The McNeil on this list at
some point in the past:
"Use the #MDLP:MANUAL feature to lock these
tests at the values you set. In your GLOBAL.CFG file create a line that lists
the tests you want to adjust manually.
#MDLP:MANUAL TEST1 TEST2
TEST3
You can also use more than one line
if you wish...
#MDLP:MANUAL TEST1
...
#MDLP:MANUAL TEST2
...
#MDLP:MANUAL TEST3
...
The #MDLP:MANUAL directive appears to
be a comment to Declude so it will be otherwise ignored. If you have an #MDLP
directive you want to comment out then you can add an additional # as
in:
##MDLP:...
This will cause MDLP to
ignore it as well."

I'm currently running Sniffer via Declude and use
MDLP. Great!
Since all the talk about invURIBL on the Imail list I
thought I'd give it a try. The only problem I have is that it doesn't
seem to be compatible with MDLP.
invURIBL assigns its own weight to each message.
The global.cfg line is as follows:
INV-URIBL external weight "X:\INVURIBL\INVURIBL.exe %WEIGHT%
%REMOTEIP%" 0 0
I'm not an expert but the %WEIGHT% must pass the
weight determined by invURIBL to Declude. I don't know what the
variables of the weighting system are.
I'm worried that I may start getting a bunch of false
positives since MDLP can't manage the weighting of invURIBL.
Would appreciate any advice from anyone that knows
more about this than I do!
Thanks,
Joe
