I'm testing the latest 1.3.5 which implements senderbase checking and scoring based on the sender IP country now, I think the mechanism may be improved and here is my idea
upon receving a connection ASSP should obtain the country from which the connection is coming the current "spam bias" for that country should be added to the message score the message will then be processed by the various filters, at the end the message will have a given "spam score" the "spam score" for the country will then be increased or decreased depending from the message score to avoid totally filtering out any message coming from a given country (e.g. you want to receive some emails from that country since you have real contacts there but there an high spam volume from that country) the total "spam bias" for each country may reach at max the 50% of the score, this means that if a message comes from an high spamvolume country it will immediately get the 50% of "spam probability", if then the message passes with flying colors all the other checks then it will be considered ham, otherwise, failing even ONE test its score will grow above the "ok" level and the message will be considered ham Could it be done ? And.. is it worth ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.
