I do use and love spamd, but what I want to accomplish is to add servers that are attempting dictionary attacks and such into the spamd tables. Someone else emailed me directly and mentioned adding servers that I send outgoing emails to, to a whitelist which I like also. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chad M Stewart Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 2:56 PM To: John N. Brahy Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: perl script for postfix logs to create spamd tables Why would you want to do that? Put spamd in front of postfix and sit back and watch the spammers waste their time. Sure the first few hours can be trying as legitimate mail trickles through. Before I deployed spamd for the first time I lowered the passtime and tested. Once I was satisfied that things would work as they should I put spamd in production. When I started getting my misc@ messages again I knew things were working. :) Today I got my first indication that another site is having problems. A credit card company told me when I logged into their website that my email address was no longer valid and to please update. The funny thing is that some messages from them do make it to me. I look at it this way, the problem is on their end. spamd simply enforces the RFCs and after all following the RFCs is a good thing. I remember the mid 90s when there were so many totally ignorant SMTP servers out there. Perhaps there are still some, but overall things appear to be much better now. If the sending site can't be bothered to run a mail system that honors a simple and basic component of the RFCs then they don't take email seriously. With my old bank I had to tell them to fix their sending gateways, they did and I started getting messages again. I sent their zone contact the relevant part of the RFCs. -Chad
