Hello,

Hello,

I am using the Senderscore OpenSMTPD filter from packages on OpenBSD
7.5. All packages installed are up-to-date.

In my mail server logs I noticed:

May 4 20:12:44 server smtpd[58189]: check_senderscore:
link-connect addr=115.231.78.9 score=-1

This is the first time I have seen a negative score. According to the
Senderscore website[0] scores should be between zero and one hundred.

What does a negative result mean ?

In most cases, -1 means that the IP address is not known to senderscore,
implying a neutral reputation.

Hi Gilles,

Thank you for your reply.

Ok, if a negative number means the address is not known (and has neither
a good or bad reputation), does the argument: -blockBelow take this into
account ?

For example, on my server I use

filter check_senderscore proc-exec "filter-senderscore
-scoreHeader -blockBelow 11" ...

.. so I want scores of 10 and lower to be blocked, but I wouldn't want
a negative score blocked as there is no reputation data.

Does the filter take that into account or will a negative score lead to
a block based on how I have configured it ?


Yes, the filter takes that into account.
-1 is a filter specific-value to determine if... it should take the value into 
account.

Hi Gilles,

Ok, great - thanks for clearing that up for me!

- J
