i don't think we discussed spamtraps here, so i'm willing to share some experience and gather your comments. Maybe this can be the start for a good wiki article.
some notes : -) pb is about penalizing ip (connections), and spamtraps don't necessarly mean that an ip is a trojaned computer or a spammer host. -) you need to have validate local addresses enabled -) you need to turn enable validation logging on i use spam control -) Spam Collect Addresses for 'so and so' spamtraps -) Spam Trap Addresses for good spamtraps and of course i penalize pb/invalid recipient (and pb/empty recipient and pb/max errors, that you get when a spammer does a dictionary attack) pb score is (ymmv): - Invalid recipient : 2 - Spam Collect : 5 - Spamtrap : 10 in spam collect i put old email addressed that are no longer in use and returned a 5xx for more than 1 year in spam trap i put real spamtraps. Very often not existant addresses are on spammer lists. this is the script i use to grep all invalid recipients from my logs, and sort them. Windows users need to download some GNU utils from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ (unixutils + unxupdates) mac users ? no idea, sorry... but at least win+linux are covered. I had a few problems with multiple piping and gawk under win32, so i had to use prog.awk to script it and use a few intermediare steps, maybe someone can optimize it. ----- windows version, with assp installed in c:\assp ------ -) invalid.cmd - debug version dir /o-d /b \assp\logs\*aillog.txt|sed "s/\ /\\\ /g"|gawk -f prog.awk| grep -F "rejected:" > _aa cut -d" " -f8 _aa | sort | uniq -c | sort -r > _bb head -n 35 _bb > invalid.txt -) prog.awk BEGIN{ } NR < 15 { system("type \\assp\\logs\\" $0) } END{ } under windows you can use blat (http://www.blat.net/) to have the list mailed to you. Of course you have to manually decide what addresses are for spamcollect, and what for spamtrap. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
