This is a HUGE problem, but I suspect it will never be addressed by
LetterRip. I had to reconfigure all my servers so I could leverage
EIMS greylisting on top of LetterRip, since this sort of spam-auto-
response was sent off to a spamtrap address and my server was
blacklisted for a while.
I know the greylisting aspect of EIMS took years to develop, and it
would take similar work to deploy such a feature for LetterRip. And
considering LetterRip hasn't been updated in 1.5 years, I no longer
expect to continue using it once I get around to installing something
better.
Not to harsh on Jud, but really, this was $400 software -- not some
tiny shareware fee -- and it hasn't kept up with the times. Hell, the
LR 4.0 documentation has been "not complete yet" for 2 years...
No greylisting/spam tracking/throttling
No web-based subscription/administration
No automatic web archives
*sigh*

This is increasingly becoming a problem.
Hi Rev. Eric,
Actually this has been a problem for quite some time now; it is
increasingly
becoming a _bigger_ problem... and I am quite surprised that this
has yet to
be answered or addressed....
Due to the lack of response on this matter it looks like I will be
forced to
trasnition another 30~40 lists from LetterRip over to GNU's Mailman...

Subject: spam in auto-responses
Hello,
For a while now I have been battling with spammers leveraging
LetterRip's auto responses to send out spam from a server i
manage.
In researching the problem, i have come across an archive
of this list
where this topic is discussed back in May as "Big Issues"
[1]. From
reading through the archive i see that multiple people are
having the
same problem i am having.
I am curious if LetterRip has implemented a fix for this
yet or if you
are forced to use third party products to clean up the
mess? As i saw
a mention of using EIMS to filter the messages, but EIMS is an
additional purchase....
The LetterRip server i manage has about 30-40 lists on it and is
running LR
4.05 (0818). Has this problem been addressed in LR 4.07 (i
see "Fixed
problems handling internal bounces and the proper
expiration of queue
items"
in the release notes; but what does that mean)?
p.s. I also have a seperate list server running GNU's
Mailman with a
Postfix backend. A few simple modifications to the
configuration file
on that server allowed me to cut the original content out
of bounced
responses, but i have been unable to figure out how to do this with
LetterRip's implementation. Does LetterRip have a way for me to
disable the inclusion of the original text in auto-responses?
