Thanks!

 

I could apply this to my hosted domains, but I support a number of domains that 
are store and forward relays using SM “incoming gateways”.  I presume those are 
a different story, yes?

Sure.

 

In the Antspam Administration, click on the "Options" tab and make sure to 
check the "Allow domains to override filter weights and actions". Then when you 
manage a domain, expand the "filtering" section and click on the "Spam 
Filtering" option. From there, click on the "Override spam settings for this 
domain" and edit the weights and actions any way you would like.

What I mean by that is – some of my customers want the subject line to be 
marked at different values, and some don’t want the subject line rewritten at 
all.

 

If SM was the one marking the subject line, I wouldn’t be able to take those 
actions per domain, or could I?

Michael,

 

I use a combination of both. In Declude, I only either just warn or delete, I 
do not change the subject line or move to any other folders. The delete value 
that I use is fairly high, so a message would have to fail a good number of 
tests in Declude to be deleted. If a message fails this many tests, there 
really isn't any reason to push it through the SmarterMail tests as well (at 
least in my opinion).

 

The DKIM, DomainKeys, and DMARC tests are just that, additional tests. There's 
really nothing overly special about them. So if a message passes through 
Declude without being deleted, it's Declude test weight is added to all my 
additional SmarterMail test values. I then use the SmarterMail filters to 
determine what to do with the message based on it's final weight value. If you 
want to use Declude per-domain setting, you can still certainly do so.

 A greatly needed ability with SmarterMail is

 

Integrated PGP encryption, perhaps using https://keybase.io/ 

 

But that's a horse of a different color :)

A greatly needed ability with SmarterMail is SMS. Whether the capability
falls within parameters of what you are hoping to do or if such development
needs be done by SmarterTools, SMS is becoming a much sought after method of
communication. It makes sense. 

 

Outlook on Exchange will send text messages.

 

It has been too long in coming but the SM V.14.x capability to add Google
Drive, One Drive and Dropbox is another welcome functionality. It would also
be welcome to provide a capability to retrieve from Own Cloud or ShareFile
or virtually any storage point in order to send links to content.

The way Declude knows whether an email is INBOUND or OUTBOUND is if the
recipient domain is on the server it is  INBOUND if the recipient domain is
not on the server it is OUTBOUND, also I believe forwards start as INBOUND
but end up being OUTBOUND. I think there must be a other options to look at
if performance is the issue.

Hello

 

To avoid performance issues, I disabled outgoing filtering for declude in
SmarterMail. In some cases, i makes sense to pass outgoing mails through the
filters.

Is there a way, that declude can check, if a mail is incoming or outgoing?
This would allow to run some filter files only for outgoing checking.

I must avoid any delays and performance issues by using only a small set of
filters for outgoing mails.

 

Thanks!

[MBF] NOMX

2014-10-07 Thread Michael Cummins
My Alligate (up stream of Declude) adds NOMX to the header if the sender's
mail from address has no MX.

 

Does Declude have a similar test?

 

Some spam is getting by my Declude / Message Sniffer, and I'm trying to find
ways to affect it.  I see Alliagte's NOMX in the header for just about all
of them.

 

If I put NOMX in a custom Declude filter to take advantage of Alligate's
homework, how many false positives do you think I'd get?  Does much
legitimate mail come in without an MX?

 

For those who chime in, thanks!

Subject: [MBF] Re: hijacked accounts

5) and fairly common in my experience:

They compromise the account elsewhere, be it through a hacked online account 
with target, yahoo, etc etc, or a sniffed wifi transaction, or a direct 
connect to an evil twin server lurking around starbucks or something like 
xfinitiwfi / attwifi, and compounded by the fact that the end user uses the 
same passwords everywhere; reverse engineering known passwords associated with 
e-mail address domain names / reverse dns to guess mail settings is then fairly 
trivial.

Think about it.  That list from Target or Bob's Discount Golf Clubs probably 
has their password, or a hash that can be bounced off a rainbow table, and the 
customer's e-mail address.  Follow the MX trail of that e-mail account back to 
your mail server.  Where they use the same password.

I see a compromised account every other week or so, and when I research the 
SMTP logs, I see that it almost always wasn't brute forced (brute forcing is so 
passé these days) - it was guessed correctly on the first try (they already HAD 
it from SOMEWHERE) and then passed around a RU/TR/IN botnet until I shut it 
down.

This kind of compromised account info is bought and sold on the internet in 
large lists, and then mined over time by bots.

I find the SmarterMail high volume sender notifications pretty handy in these 
cases, letting me shut the offending account down before I get blacklisted.  I 
change their password immediately and advise the client to check their systems 
for malware, tell them that they might have gotten the password from another 
online account, advise them to use different passwords everywhere, tell them 
about services like LastPass, yada yada.  Things y'all probably already do 
yourselves.  When they assure me their system has been checked out I give them 
a new password.

Also, some people use hijack to help out, but hijack would nab my own customers 
as they spam their industry peers with brokerage listings and whatnot.

Hope my rambling was useful to someone.  It's late, and I'm tired. :)

Sounds like you have a larger problem than you think. The only way they can log 
onto an account is to know the password. There are only 4 ways that they would 
know the password:

1) Brute Force on the account in question. Highly unlikely in this case if it 
is happening to so many accounts.
2) The accounts in question have the same password or very weak passwords like 
in the top 25 of known passwords.
3) They have access to an admin account and are changing passwords.
4) Your server itself is compromised and they are obtaining the passwords from 
the registry.

If you do not have logs enabled, might as well pack your bags. You will need 
the logs to determine what is going on, where they are logging on from, and how 
to stop it.

If the whitelist is no checked it is because the email sender or recipient is

Subject: [MBF]MBF releases new build of Declude 4.12.05

 

New files available from http://mailsbestfriend.com/downloads/

 

4.12.05  FIX - Removed Key check for Declude, no need to hack the Host file.
Declude no longer requires a key to run.

4.12.04  ADD - Created new test NOHIT

4.12.03  ADD - Improved Hijack by monitoring the Authenticated user rather
than the mailfrom address



The NOHIT test is used to determine which tests did NOT trigger. The main
purpose of this implementation was to create a feedback system to Message
Sniffer ARM research to improve spam catch rates on new spam. The new test
syntax below and is located in the global.cfg

 

TEST-NAME1 NOHIT  TEST-NAME2 WEIGHT  0
0

 

TEST-NAME1  Your given name of the test
NOHIT   Test Type
TEST-NAME2  The name of the test you are tracking that did NOT trigger
WEIGHT  The weight = when you would like this test to trigger

 

Example of use (This test will trigger if SNIFFER is NOT triggered for
emails over 30 points):

 

SNF-FEEDBACK   NOHIT  SNIFFER 30  0   0

 

Using this test we can identify messages that scored more than 30 points and
did NOT trigger sniffer. We then use either a COPYTO or ROUTETO Action in
the $default$.junkmail file to have these messages go to a specific inbox
where ARM research periodically retrieves these messages and writes new
rules to distribute to other Message Sniffer users. 

 

The entry in the $default$.junkmail would be:

 

SNF-FEEDBACK   ROUTETOmailto:x...@example.com x...@example.com

 

Where  is your license key for Message Sniffer.  Be sure to setup an
email user with  mailto:x...@example.com x...@example.com on your server
and provide ARM research supp...@armresearch.com with the POP account
details to access the account to retrieve messages.

 

I am sure there are other great ways the NOHIT test can be used. Let us know
if you have some ideas.

[MBF]Manually invoking Declude

2014-02-12 Thread Michael Cummins
Is there some way that I can manually invoke Declude to check an IP address to 
see if it is on an RBL?

 

I’d like to be able to keep an eye on my clients to give them advanced warning. 
 That might be a cool way to do it.

 

- Michael Cummins

 

 



[MBF]Re: Manually invoking Declude

2014-02-12 Thread Michael Cummins
Because I want to automate checking about a hundred IPs a day or so.  If I do 
it through a DNS RBL query, I’m using the RBLs more-or-less how they were 
intended to be used and won’t be blackballed for automating their web based 
lookups.  If I can use a manual invoke of Declude instead of building a script 
to do each thing manually, I won’t be reinventing the wheel, and doing a poor 
job of it, likely.  It would be efficient, as I do those checks for many pieces 
of mail each day.

 

Or am I imagining this all wrong?

You need a simple DNS query tool and a bit of scripting.

On a *nix box I will use dig.
On a win* box the analog would be nslookup or you could get dig from here:  
http://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/ http://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/ (ok, a 
lot more than just dig but it's in there).

Once you have nslookup or dig you can query and DNS based RBL directly.

Hope this helps,

[MBF]Re: New Version of Declude

2013-11-22 Thread Michael Cummins
Mine is commented out right now, but my last log file is for SEP 16, 2013, so I 
have definitely had this running on Win2k8R2 64 bit.

I think I killed it because I was running Clam AV, Sniffer and INVURIBL all at 
the command line and it choked during a spam wave, so I started cutting 3rd 
party apps.  

Like Andy said earlier - would love to see these sewn these into Declude as an 
API call.  INVURIBL (since it's another defunct product) could literally become 
part of Declude (as a concept), so we could configure Declude for URIBL the 
same way we do other RBLs.

Hi,

Ideally I'd like to get away from having to use the command line version of 
Sniffer - and figure out a way to get the API version of Sniffer working again. 
The code's already in Declude, so should be primarily a matter of figuring out 
the logistics so that each client can use their own SNIFFER license.

The same is true for the API version of some virus scanner - whether AVG or 
ClamAV. We should eliminate the command line interface in favor of using the 
API version - then the client can choose to obtain the proper license of ClamAV 
or AVG. 
It doesn't have to handle the signature updates or any of those things, I'm 
fine that this is the customer's responsibility. 

InvURIBL works just fine here - although there is some overlap with Sniffer as 
far results. But both ARE using entirely different methology - so having the 
ability to check URI black lists is a very desirable option, of course - but to 
me less critical than getting away from command line scanners for Sniffer and 
Anti-Virus.

Best Regards,
Andy

[MBF]Re: New Version of Declude

2013-11-21 Thread Michael Cummins
 As for INVURIBL it does not seem to be supported anymore so we 
 would not spend any time integrating into Declude.

It still works Declude right now, I just meant the functionality: harvesting 
URLs out of the message content and then bouncing them off URIBL lists.  (I 
think that's how INVURIBL works, no?) 

That looks like something that could be in Declude's wheelhouse, yes?

Feel free to tap me around if I'm clueless. 

 I would not say that INVURIBL is redundant, however 
 Message Sniffer is a far superior product to INVURIBL.

Love Message Sniffer.  I'm a happy customer.  But if INVURIBL is a waste of 
time because of Message Sniffer, I'd love to know so I can drag it all into an 
archive folder or something and never use it again.

If it *isn't* duplicated by Message Sniffer, I'd also love to know so I can 
fine tune it again.  I've ignored it for a long time, but back in the day it 
was one of my most effective tests.

Presently I ban:

And I re-enabled:

BANEXT  EZIP

Does MessageSniffer detect the CryptoLocker in zip attachments?

I'm under the impression that I can't use NOD32 because I'm simply a gateway 
for my clients.
I'm also under the impression that I can't use AVG because there is no longer a 
licensing server (used to be at Declude) that authorized me to do so.

Is Clam AV the only thing I can use without a huge investment?

Going through my Declude config and found some test I am removing.  

 

FIVETEN-DUL offline

In the last week we have had 0 hits from RU-DUL and SORBS-NOMAIL and 2 hits
on DNSBL.  Anyone else using these with any effect?

 

Still going through my config so there may be more.

[MBF]Re: Declude reporting

2013-10-24 Thread Michael Cummins
What version of Declude are you running?  Mine generates a blklst*.txt file.

I am running 4.12.02, and they appear in my SmarterMail/Spool directory.

I would have to write something to parse this file myself, unless something 
else already does?

Markus,

Does this work for you?  I recall this discussion and I have it in our 
declude.cfg but it does not generate any such file.

Here is our setting:

CODE 

BLKLST  ON
INVITEFIX   ON
AUTOREVIEW  ON
THREADS 150
WAITFORMAIL 2500
AVGUPDATEFREQHRS 3

No blklst.txt has ever been created in the spool directory.

Subject: [MBF]AW: Declude reporting

I can confirm that the newer versions of Declude has brought some changes in 
the Log-Levels.

They does contain heavily more information on the MID level, bumping up 
logfiles without containing necessary data for MDLP reporting.
On LOW level the Subject and MFrom-lines are missing. 

David Barker on my request suggested

What may be of use to you is using the following in the \Declude\declude.cfg 
file.
BLKLSTON
This will create a file in the \spool everyday e.g. blklst0919.txt which 
contains 1 line for every email with all the information you need.

It's important to not misunderstand the BLK as black. It seems more meaning 
block 
These are the fields of this logfiles

Date| Time | Spool # | IP | Final Weight | Final Action | Recipients | 
Date| Sender | Subject | Tests Triggered

 time he was giving it away.

I haven't touched MDLP in a while -- though I've thought about it.
If I recall correctly there were changes in Declude's log format that broke 
it's analysis... though I might be mistaken.

Please let us know how you're working around that or if I've missed a step.

If there is enough interest in MDLP we may pick it up again.

Best,

After that there's this URI NAME SERVER thing, seems there is only one

Later on I have these 4 RBL lists configured

It looks like it supports URI Senderbase lookups, but both are set to false.

value=false /

add key=RemoteMailServer_Senderbase_Magnitude_Threshold value=50 /

add key=RemoteMailServer_Senderbase_Magnitude_Weight value=0 /

 

Maybe I should use those?  Are any of those RBLs ir URIBLs configured
defunct?

 

Am I running too many? 

 

I had this test comment out for some time becuse one of my clients was being
hit by a Joe Job (getting by the Alligate) and I simply forgot to turn it
back on.

 

Any advice would be greatly aprpeciated.
