Package: spamassassin
Version: 3.0.2-1
Severity: normal
With spamassassin 3.0.0, I got such result:
0.1 RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL RBL: Envoy� directement depuis une adresse IP
dynamique
[151.24.72.136 listed in dnsbl.sorbs.net]
1.7 RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL RBL: NJABL: Envoy� depuis une adresse IP dynamique
[151.24.72.136 listed in combined.njabl.org]
While it was effectively a spam caught, DUL/Dynamic IP scoring (1.7) is quite
problematic.
- The score increase with each DNSbl you use, even if they use the
exact same source
- Why the hell freedom to run a server should not be given to someone
behind dynamic IP? Restricting users freedom is a very sensitive issue,
I do not think software shipped by Debian by default should
criminalize dynamic IP users by assuming they are guilty of something.
So, would it be possible to have the DUL test deactivated by default, or with a
score less important (0.1 is fine)? It is good that a piece of software like
spamassassin get distributed widely. Spam will be less and less commercially
interesting. But it should not cost end users freedom to run a server, don't
you agree?
People that run DUL DNSbl warn users about DUL list usage. The problem here is
that someone may filter DUL users without even noticing it, just like if it
were an absolutely reliable anti-spam criterion.
