Lower the weights of the noabuse/nopostmaster tests for one. I think the default is 5 for each. The noabuse/nopostmaster tests fail for most of the "big guys" (aol.com,earthlink.net,msn.com,etc,etc...)
Or You might play by raising the weight of the other tests and trapping/bouncing on a higher WEIGHT. You might want to read the mail-archive as to why bouncing might not be such a good idea. Bouncing can actually add extra load to mail servers as 90% (whatever it is, it's a lot) of junkmail has a FORGED from address, so a single bounce usually adds to multiple bounces until the loop ends. You can also use the beta feature 'filter' to add negative weight for certain providers rather than a complete whitelist. For documentation on the Beta FILTER feature see http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02791.html And as of 1.57 BETA a few updates were made to the FILTER type http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03378.html -Tom -----Original Message----- From: David Dodell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 9:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Fine tuning I recently implemented using the bounce feature of Junkmail, and spam has dropped 95% .... however, there are a few users that are trying to send us legtimate email, but their ISP's are listed and failing multiple tests ... ie DSBLMULTI, DNSRBL-SPAM, NOABUSE, NOPOSTMASTER I hate to start making whitelists for each of these people, since that list could become very large very fast ... and obviously telling them their ISP are junk is not going to work ... For example one of them is Bellsouth.net which seems to fail multiple tests ... just whitelist them, but that would allow spam to come through ... Suggestions on how to deal with this?
