I'm kinda looking for a best practices kind of thing and this is probably going to come out disjointed. Obviously, I can do whatever I want to do but I'm interested in the thoughts of professional mail managers etc, etc on what *they* would do and possibly their thought processes behind their decisions.
My situation is this. I have two email addresses that are honey pots (for purposes of discussion, let's call them h...@domain and h...@domain). I want to collect spam from them (as a training aid for ASSP?) and I want ASSP to know that everything is SPAM from them. A few years ago, I was told to put those emails into Spam Collect (which I did). I also have two users which are no longer using their accounts and will never. I have removed them from the MTA (and the local addresses file in ASSP). Let's call those user1@ and us...@. Knowing the situation, how would you use the various settings of ASSP (which I will attempt to list here but if you can think of any other "best practice" I would love to hear it). spamtrapaddresses:= SpamTrap2NULL:=1 DoPenaltyMakeTraps:=1 PenaltyMakeTraps:=5 noPenaltyMakeTraps:= spamaddresses:=...@domain|h...@domain (not the actual addresses in my config) RejectTheseLocalAddresses:=us...@domain|us...@domain What should I be or could I be doing to get the most bang for my value of the honeypots and deleted users. I do want to make sure that I'm not calling someone a spammer because they were a valid emailer when the the valid users existed. So do I use noPenaltyMakeTraps for that purpose? I guess I'm just not exactly sure how the make traps and use traps works. If you reply, could you put it in context to my situation? I'm a home maintainer and not a business maintainer so I don't always know what should be done or even what could be done with ASSP. using version 1.6.1.3 and been running my ASSP setup for about 1052 days since last reset. So I'm not new to ASSP but some of these are newer settings to me as I just upgraded from 1.3.? about a week or two ago. -- Patrick Butts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Assp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-user
