Until a few days ago, I was using SORBSALL, but on checking out their home
page, I found that it had grown quite a lot since I started using it.

Since JunkMail will only incur the lookup once, I suggest that if you're
using SORBS that you break it up into all the little tests to query the same
rbl, and set your weights accordingly.  I found that a) this is much more
flexible and b) much more effective, very spammy sources are listed under
multiple categories.

Check out the bottom of the page for the description and usage of the
individual tests and return codes, then set your weights and actions as you
see fit:

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SORBS

2003-08-28 Thread Colbeck, Andrew
So far, only 1 that cause a message to be held.  On the other hand, I find
considerable overlap with some of the other big name tests, so I'm catching
more spam than I did, while also making the stuff I caught before score even
higher.

That is why I stopped using the DUL list; it's a list of dynamic subnets at
various ISPs, not a list of confirmed IPs used by spammers.

Using the DUL would be fine if I had the default HOP settings, because that
would catch workstations that are sending directly to my mail gateway.
However, I have HOPHIGH set to 2, which should give me a lot of false
positives.

For what it's worth, I hold on WEIGHT20, and have the WARN action for all
the tests I indicated, except SORBS-ZOMBIE, for which I HOLD.

[Declude.JunkMail] Another obfuscation technique

It was heavily blocked; the spammer doesn't quite get the concept... because
to achieve this visual effect, it was HTML, then obfuscated with a ton of
bogus tags that lit up our COMMENTS test, plus heavily obfuscated the target
URL to geocities by obfuscating it with... multiple geocities@ prefixes.  It
never had a chance!

It really does get kind of silly after a while. The more they try to

There was a report in the last few days about relays.osirusoft.com going sour in some 
way.  I didn't pay much attention until I had a dozen OSRELAY false positives staring 
me in the face.

I've turned off all relays.osirusoft.com based tests (I used two)

This only shows up on a few emails but it causes the email to fail the

have the warning or they show a normal OSRELAY warming -

X-RBL-Warning: OSRELAY: This E-mail came from XXX.27.65.23, a potential spam

[Declude.JunkMail] Setting MAX Testing Weight

2003-08-28 Thread Todd - Smart Mail



 My Declude config has grown 
since install. I am curious if it is possible determine a Weight at which 
Declude ceases running tests on an email. 

 SayI have40 
testsand after Declude runsthe first 10 of themit accumulates 
ascore of 300.IHOLD at 100.Further testing 
beyond 300uses additional resources to produce the same outcome with no 
additional benefits. Resources including processing, bandwidth, and 
un-needed additional queries to blacklist servers that are working hard 
tomaintain their services.

 In this scenario the order that 
Declude ran your tests would be a factor. You could place your tests in a 
specific order in the Declude configso that primacy tests like 
Spamcop were first, andadditional tests would onlybe run if 
needed. Or you couldrun tests like Spamcheck,Badheaders, 
Helobogus first and be able to HOLD messages with a minimum or noexternal 
DNS queries.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Setting MAX Testing Weight

My Declude config has grown since install.  I am curious if it is 
possible determine a Weight at which Declude ceases running tests on an 
email.
No.  It is something that we have given thought to, but there are a number 
of potential problems.  As you point out, the order of the tests would now 
become a factor (which means serious re-working of the code, and slower 
delivery if DNS lookups are no longer done in parallel).  Also, if you are 
not careful, negative weights could be an issue (for example, if you do not 
order the tests correctly, you may skip over a test that would reduce the 
weight to the point where processing should continue).

1-is this the mx record for the domain of the from adress ? if the from is 
empty the test will fail?
Everything in Declude JunkMail uses the return address of the E-mail (MAIL 
FROM in the SMTP envelope).  If it is empty, it will not fail (that would 
be , which is used for bounce messages and the like).

2-also, declude never uses the reply to adress, correct ?
Correct.  It also never uses the address from the From: header.

is there a variable (declude virus) for the reply to adress ?
No.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] header problem

2003-08-28 Thread R. Scott Perry
This one is very strange -- it looks like there was a mail loop involved, 
it was scanned by several virus/spam scanners, it has highly unusual (and 
likely broken) To:/Cc: headers, and appears as though it may have been 
scanned twice on your server.

From the Received: headers, it appears that you received this from 
fanga.afribone.net.ml, which added some of the Declude headers.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] OSRELAY Replacement..


So what are y'all beginning to use instead of the OSRELAY tests?

I was using this and one of the other OS tests.  Even though I still had 350
messages in my spam account this morning, I would like another test to
replace these.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Setting MAX Testing Weight

2003-08-28 Thread John Tolmachoff \(Lists\)









You do not want Declude to stop at a certain
point. What if it stops, right before the next test which is a whitefilter type
test?



With the weighting system, it is
important to run all tests to get the final weight.

Setting MAX Testing Weight





 My Declude config has grown since
install. I am curious if it is possible determine a Weight at which
Declude ceases running tests on an email. 









 SayI have40 testsand
after Declude runsthe first 10 of themit accumulates ascore
of 300.IHOLD at 100.Further testing beyond
300uses additional resources to produce the same outcome with no
additional benefits. Resources including processing, bandwidth, and
un-needed additional queries to blacklist servers that are working hard
tomaintain their services.











 In this scenario the order that Declude
ran your tests would be a factor. You could place your tests in a
specific order in the Declude configso that primacy tests like
Spamcop were first, andadditional tests would onlybe run if
needed. Or you couldrun tests like Spamcheck,Badheaders,
Helobogus first and be able to HOLD messages with a minimum or noexternal

Hello ,

NOTICE:  Mail you send from your dynamic IP may not be reaching your
customers. 

Many ISP's including AOL,Road Runner have started rejecting mail sent
from residential dynamic IP address blocks in attempt to reduce the
amount of unsolicited email that travels through their networks.
No-IP.com has been working around the clock to provide a solution,
Alternate-Port SMTP. 

Altnerate-Port SMTP solves a couple of problems our users encounter when
trying to send mail from a residential service such as blocked outbound
port 25, AOL and other ISPs rejecting mail based on ip, and inability to
send mail from email addresses @yourdomain.com

For detailed information about this service please visit:

Some providers that restrict outbound port 25 include
- NetZero
- Mindspring
- MSN
- Earthlink 
- Flashnet 
- MediaOne
- ATT
- Verizon
- Bell Canada
- Cox

Note that Alternate-Port SMTP is for outbound mail only.  Should your
ISP block inbound port 25 you will need our Mail Reflector service
(http://www.no-ip.com/svc/mail/reflector).

My father was just blocked by Cox from reaching my SMTP server the other 
day.  They did it without any warning/notice.  Their resolution was to 
use their own mail server for SMTP, but he could still reach my server 
by way of POP3.

It does introduce another potential point of failure into the mix that 
then becomes more problematic to troubleshoot for E-mail providers, but 
it's not terrible to have to do.

I did ask the customer service rep at Cox why they blocked everyone 
instead of just the spammers, and he of course didn't have a good 
answer.  Seems these guys don't want to police their network.  Naturally 
the way around this is to set up SMTP on a port other than 25, however 
IMail I think only has one setting for the entire server.

Your opinions?
It's very unfortunate that people are starting to do this.  It only started 
at the end of May, when someone got the idea of blocking all dynamic IPs 
and static IPs with reverse DNS entries that look similar to those of 
dynamic IPs.

We get hit by this occasionally -- we have a static IP on a commercial 
connection (where we are allowed to run servers).  For RoadRunner, we just 
added an entry to our HOSTS file on the mailserver that points to our 
Internet provider's mailserver.  We also added a per-domain configuration 
for rr.com in Declude JunkMail to add a header letting all rr.com 
recipients know that their Internet provider is blocking legitimate E-mail.  :)

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Setting MAX Testing Weight

2003-08-28 Thread Todd - Smart Mail



John,

 As I mentioned, the order that 
you ran the tests would affect the outcome. Tests that generate a 
negative weight would need to be run first, such as IPNOTINMX, BONDEDSENDER, and 
other whitelist type of tests. Also the reason I suggested stopping 
testing at weigh 3x my HOLD weight. This gives some margin where test 
would continue to run.

Yeah, I've had a number of people calling saying they can receive messages
from our server, but get server time-outs when trying to send messages.
Trying to talk to these non-IT type people is a pain.

Trying to explain to them that it's not our server, but their internet
provider and to call them for a solution (the classic question: But aren't
you our internet provider?; Uh, we just host your e-mail and web site;
But isn't that the same?).  As you stated, most of the time just changing
their SMTP server settings to the provider usually fixes the problem.

Yeah, I've had a number of people calling saying they can receive messages

Trying to talk to these non-IT type people is a pain.
Actually, there are two separate issues here:

[1] Dialup accounts where the ISP blocks outgoing SMTP E-mail.  This is 
very, very common, and has been done for years.  To handle this, E-mail 
must be sent through the ISP's mailserver.

[2] People (companies, ISPs, whatever) that block *incoming* E-mail from 
IPs that they think *might* be dynamic IPs.  There is no way around this, 
except to re-route the E-mail from your mailserver to another mailserver 
that the recipient will like.  However, there is no way of knowing what the 
recipient will like.

Scott, add to your list broadband cable providers that are also now 
starting to block port 25 outgoing.  That was the issue with my father, 
and his IP doesn't change that often, though RR doesn't hardly ever 
change, maybe they know how to monitor appropriately?

Actually, there are two separate issues here:

[1] Dialup accounts where the ISP blocks outgoing SMTP E-mail.  This 
is very, very common, and has been done for years.  To handle this, 
E-mail must be sent through the ISP's mailserver.

[2] People (companies, ISPs, whatever) that block *incoming* E-mail 
from IPs that they think *might* be dynamic IPs.  There is no way 
around this, except to re-route the E-mail from your mailserver to 
another mailserver that the recipient will like.  However, there is no 
way of knowing what the recipient will like.

The ISP can also use it as selling factor to get businesses to host on Their
servers rather than an outside provider that is now perceived as having
difficulties getting the customers email to function properly.

 Trying to explain to them that it's not our server, but their internet
 provider and to call them for a solution (the classic question: But
aren't
 you our internet provider?; Uh, we just host your e-mail and web site;
 But isn't that the same?).  As you stated, most of the time just
changing
 their SMTP server settings to the provider usually fixes the problem.

 My father was just blocked by Cox from reaching my SMTP server the other
 day.  They did it without any warning/notice.  Their resolution was to
 use their own mail server for SMTP, but he could still reach my server
 by way of POP3.

 It does introduce another potential point of failure into the mix that
 then becomes more problematic to troubleshoot for E-mail providers, but
 it's not terrible to have to do.

 I did ask the customer service rep at Cox why they blocked everyone
 instead of just the spammers, and he of course didn't have a good
 answer.  Seems these guys don't want to police their network.  Naturally
 the way around this is to set up SMTP on a port other than 25, however
 IMail I think only has one setting for the entire server.

 Hello ,
 
 NOTICE:  Mail you send from your dynamic IP may not be reaching your
 customers.
 
 Many ISP's including AOL,Road Runner have started rejecting mail sent
 from residential dynamic IP address blocks in attempt to reduce the
 amount of unsolicited email that travels through their networks.
 No-IP.com has been working around the clock to provide a solution,
 Alternate-Port SMTP.
 
 Altnerate-Port SMTP solves a couple of problems our users encounter
 when trying to send mail from a residential service such as blocked
 outbound port 25, AOL and other ISPs rejecting mail based on ip, and
 inability to send mail from email addresses @yourdomain.com
 
 For detailed information about this service please visit:
 http://www.no-ip.com/svc/mail/smtp
 
 Some providers that restrict outbound port 25 include
 - NetZero
 - Mindspring
 - MSN
 - Earthlink
 - Flashnet
 - MediaOne
 - ATT
 - Verizon
 - Bell Canada
 - Cox
 
 Note that Alternate-Port SMTP is for outbound mail only.  Should your
 ISP block inbound port 25 you will need our Mail Reflector service
 (http://www.no-ip.com/svc/mail/reflector).
 
 If you are unsure what service you need or have questions please open a
 support ticket at http://www.no-ip.com/ticket/

[Declude.JunkMail] Strange Headers...

Hi;

Has anyone else 
seen this in the header:
X-TRANSFER-STAMP: 
8rn1gnyu
X-TRANSFER-NUMBER: 
SA
X-transfer-number: 
5898
X-transfer-stamp: 
NLOLD
X-transfer-stamp: 
TCDYNQ

Each of the above 
headers have characters that are over 200 characters wide..  the header of 
the spam email had 50+ lines of the above lines.. 

Real strange 
header.

If you think it is 
a good idea to post the message to the list let me know.. but this is the 
strangest header.

Does anyone know 
where such headers could come from?

I have added 
thefollowing to ourfilters for a holdweight to simply follow 
and see if anything else comes through with such 
characteristics.

X-transfer-stamp:
X-TRANSFER-NUMBER:

Any 
ideas?

I would personally not worry about this if it was just one E-mail.  That

Since it was received from another server, it may be that it was an 
improper bounce message?

and also the first received in the header is showing our server adress

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] osirusoft

2003-08-28 Thread Matthew Bramble




I'm deep into monitoring false positives, passed spam, and valid near
misses. I'll post some info tonight or tomorrow.

One thing that is very clear thus far is that FIVETEN detects a lot of
spam that other blacklists don't, however they also have a very high
false positive rate which is why I score them so low.

Three of the FIVETEN tests marked 15 of 40 pieces of spam that got in
under the top score, however it also marked 12 of 17 valid near misses
(passed legit stuff) from newsletters and other sorts of automated
mailings like opt-in lists and receipts. It also marked valid
yahoo.com accounts which tend to fail several minor technical tests.
Then for my false positives (rejected valid E-mail), it marked 3 of 8
messages.

One note about what I am counting as valid here. There are varying
levels of commercial E-mail and I am trying to pass anything opted-into
directly or resulting from being a customer of that mailer. Most of
this stuff is of no value, but I don't want to block it if I can help.
SPAMCOP for instance is blocking a fundraising letter from George
Bush's campaign that includes the customer's full name, and the
NYTimes.com daily update fails FIVETEN-SPAMSUPPORT as well as
SPAMHEADERS. Some companies use outside sources for their mailings and
they suffer from not choosing wisely the company they deal with.

So with the above results, I definitely would include FIVETEN in any
setup, but score them very low in respect to others, hoping that they
fail some technical tests to put them over the edge. The numbers in
the summary are from my settings where I fail on a score of 10, and I
don't score technical tests very high (though I'm probably going to
increase BADHEADERS).

[Declude.JunkMail] stat/prob test, imail declude

2003-08-28 Thread Serge
Title: Message



declude was developing aprobability spam test 
in one of the previous betas
when will it be released ?
will it be similar to imail stat test 
?
the message below did not get a high weight, but 
did get high imail stat score
is there a way to use that header infoin 
declude ?

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] header problem

RSP:That header wasn't added by IMail.  It means that fanga.afribone.net.ml
received the E-mail from 208.154.200.29 (which most likely identifies
itself as edmsa.net).

that IS OUR imail server
we received 2 of those today
i will continue to monitor


RSP:Ah, then it may have actually come from your server.  But that still
doesn't explain the extra Received: headers.

exactly, but why did not the onlysendif work ?

 1- why was it sent to fanga.afribone.net.ml ? i do not send notification
to
 remote users
   ( ONLYSENDIFLOCALSENDER in sender.eml, and ONLYSENDIFLOCALRECIPIENT
in
 recep.eml)

RSP: It was NOT sent there.  It was RECEIVED from there.

sorry, i'm slow today, but i still do not get it :)
the subject line Attention: On vous a envoyé un virus is defenitly our
notification.

I would personally not worry about this if it was just one E-mail.  That
E-mail was very convoluted.

Since it was received from another server, it may be that it was an
improper bounce message?

and also the first received in the header is showing our server adress
(non-virtual secondary host)

Ah, then it may have actually come from your server.  But that still
doesn't explain the extra Received: headers.

doesn't this mean it was generated by our server and sent to fanga ?

Received: from [208.154.200.29] (helo=edmsa.net)

Because the E-mail isn't what it seems to be.  It could take hours to 
properly analyze it.  That E-mail *did* go through other mailservers, which 
may have altered it.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] FW: Attention mail server administrators

2003-08-28 Thread Karen D. Oland
 [1] Dialup accounts where the ISP blocks outgoing SMTP E-mail.  This is
 very, very common, and has been done for years.  To handle this, E-mail
 must be sent through the ISP's mailserver.

Unfortunately, for many telecommuters, they cannot send business mail thru
the ISP, but must have it originate from their company servers (due to
policy or legal requirements). So, they get hit with higher VPN costs in
order to bypass the blocking, while spammers just move around to another
tactic (recent ALABAMA ring, had dedicated lines to bypass getting killed by
their ISP, used lots of stolen credit cards to establish accounts both for
sending and for test receiving of email (to see what the ISP was
successfully blocking)).  Now, companies like No-Ip.com will just sell them
space on dedicated IP's (which we have to keep blocking) and still the
little user that was legitimately using their connection is the one that
pays (with no real effect on spammers).

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Alligate

2003-08-28 Thread John Tolmachoff \(Lists\)
I do not use MessageSniffer at this time, but would if I could.

I like the product. I have evaluated it. It is a very good test to use.

Why would I use both, the broader the scope of the tests, the more chance of
catching all spam with a lesser FP rate.

They both have there strengths, and weaknesses. Their weaknesses is nothing
to detract from them, it is inhearant in any program. 

I just do not have the funds at this time.

We do not have an ETA on it.

No, it is very different (the one in Declude is not based on key 
words/phrases, which makes it much faster and less user-dependent, and 
produces a much more accurate statistic).

Absolutely.

 What are the repercussions of having Osirusoft enabled right now?

Legit E-mail failing their tests and slowdowns in processing E-mail.
The word is that they are blacklisting the world...if you can reach their
