RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Crediting 'good' domains

[Colbeck, Andrew]

Ken, I'm betting that your problem is your method of deciding the reverse DNS to use.

 

Specifically, I'm betting that you're taking the MAILFROM and assuming that the REVDNS will match.

 

For example, the MAILFROM might very well be [EMAIL PROTECTED] but the reverse IP is probably mta125.cheetahmail.com or something similar.

 

So, given the MAILFROM you want to match, look in your logs for the IP address it came from, and then do a nslookup on the IP address and use that response in your credit.txt filter.

 

Cheetah in particular hosts a very large number of mailing lists, so if you want to allow some in and keep others out, you'll need a fancier filter.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Crediting 'good' domains

I am using the following to try to credit points back to some of our customers who routinely fail spam checks.

 

$default$.junkmail

Credit   WARN

 

GLOBAL.CFG

Credit   filter C:\IMail\Declude\Filters\Credit.txt  X 0 0

 

Credit.txt

REVDNS -10 ENDSWITH .overstock.com
REVDNS -10 ENDSWITH .columbiahouse.com
REVDNS -10 ENDSWITH .smithsonian.chtah.com
REVDNS -10 ENDSWITH .e-cost.com
REVDNS -10 ENDSWITH .selmaduro.com
REVDNS -10 ENDSWITH .selmamail.aruba.selmaduro.com

 

This doesn't work for any of the domains listed, what am I doing wrong? The path to the Credit.txt file is correct. But the mails never credit points back.
