RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF support to be added to next beta

Thanks.

I set up my primary domains.  I still have to review client domains to
determine the proper setup for those that are used for emailing.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF support to be added to next beta


We will be adding support for SPF (Sender Permitted From, at 
http://spf.pobox.com ) to the next beta of Declude JunkMail.  This is a 
system that lets owners of domains publish information on what mailservers 
people can use to send mail from the domain.  We expect that this can be 
very useful in blocking spam (similar to the SPAMDOMAINS test), as well as 
helping ensure that legitimate mail gets through.

http://spf.pobox.com/dns.html covers how to add an SPF record for your own 
domain.  At its simplest, if all your E-mail is coming from your 
mailserver, and your mailserver is listed in your MX record, you would add 
a TXT record of v=spf1 +mx -all for your domain.  The SPF records always 
start with v=spf1; the +mx means that any E-mail from an IP listed in 
your MX records is good,  and the -all is a default so that any other 
E-mail is bad.

The SPF system is much, much more flexible than the SPAMDOMAINS test, and 
it lets domain owners control the settings (which allows them to be much 
more accurate).  If widely implemented, it will make it much more difficult 
for spammers to get their spam delivered.

Spamdomains works, and we've been building a list of common sources of spam,
cable modem IP's and such.  Bill has a spamdomains list that works pretty
good, if there's an update to it he might read this and post the link to it.

I haven't had a lot of false postives on Spamdomains.

This is exactly why I think we should have a some sort of global internet 
council for setting standards, rather than all of us little guys having 
to react, after the fact, whenever a large player makes a change.  The 
global council could maintain a distribution list to help mail admins to 
keep up with proposed changes and implementation schedules.  This is very 
similar to any other industry that must keep up with compliance standards.

In some ways this also seems like an unfair competition tactic as it 
makes the little guys look bad when our customers can't send mail to 
AOL...it encourages customers to move to the large players to avoid not 
having mail delivered to their users.

I know this will stir a few people the wrong way, but…

If so many people are upset that MS is being monopolistic by using their 
EULA to prevent software from operating, then why don’t those same people 
get upset at AOL for the internet-nazi-police tactics used to prevent 
mail from being delivered?

MS just says that you can’t use certain apps on their OS.  AOL says that 
you can’t deliver mail through mail servers (that control more email than 
any other on the planet) because they deemed it “bad” through inaccurate, 
generalized and dare I say “monopolistic” policies.

The lack of complaints about AOL just shows that the MS bashers are not 
upset about the MS policies (or monopoly), they just want to complain 
about the big company on the block.  I think if the majority owner of AOL 
was the richest person on the planet, they would bash AOL.  How short sided!!!

Further, all of the justice dept. proceedings are based on complaints by 
the competition, not the users.  On the other hand, AOL has thousands of 
consumer complaints, but very few (if any) complaints by 
competitors.  It’s obvious that the justice dept. just wants to appease 
whiny losers like Jim Barksdale and Scott McNealy.  And the MS bashers 
just fall in line.  Lemmings.

Hi,

I just noticed that AOL has stepped up their policies another notch.

They used to say that AOL  **MAY** not accept email from servers 
without Reverse DNS.
In the last two weeks, that changed:
http://postmaster.aol.com/guidelines/standards.htmlhttp://postmaster.aol.com/guidelines/standards.html

   * AOL's servers will not accept connections from unsecured systems. 
These include open relays, open proxies, open routers, or any other 
system that has been determined to be available for unauthorized use.
   * AOL's mail servers will not accept connections from systems that 
use dynamically assigned or residential IP addresses.
   * AOL will not deliver e-mail that contains a hex-encoded Universal 
Resource Locator (URL). (Ex: http://%6d%6e%3f/)
   * AOL's mail servers will reject connections from any IP address that 
does not have reverse DNS (a PTR record).

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Public DJM Config Files

2003-12-18 Thread Kami Razvan
Hi;

It would be great John..

What would be even greater is a site and mirrors that can host filters from
everyone who is willing to share them.  This way the network traffic on a
single site is reduced.

I think that can add a lot of value to Declude and reduce coming online by
those that start using it much shorter.

Out filter files are updated four times a day and if we can create a network
of such sites and mirror sites.. Stopping a spam, a hoax or a scam can be
done much faster among the group.

One major suggestion:  If filters are shared - I really think no negative
filters should be shared.  Negative words and filters getting in the hands
of our beloved spammer would hurt everyone.  But that is just my 2 cents.

Regards,
Kami

Hi;

It would be great John..

What would be even greater is a site and mirrors that can host filters
from everyone who is willing to share them.  This way the network
traffic on a single site is reduced.

I think that can add a lot of value to Declude and reduce coming online
by those that start using it much shorter.

Out filter files are updated four times a day and if we can create a
network of such sites and mirror sites.. Stopping a spam, a hoax or a
scam can be done much faster among the group.

One major suggestion:  If filters are shared - I really think no
negative filters should be shared.  Negative words and filters getting
in the hands of our beloved spammer would hurt everyone.  But that is
just my 2 cents.

Regards,
Kami

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF support to be added to next beta

2003-12-18 Thread R. Scott Perry

We will be adding support for SPF (Sender Permitted From, at 
http://spf.pobox.com ) to the next beta of Declude JunkMail.  This is a 
system that lets owners of domains publish information on what mailservers 
people can use to send mail from the domain.  We expect that this can be 
very useful in blocking spam (similar to the SPAMDOMAINS test), as well as 
helping ensure that legitimate mail gets through.
For those that are interested, we now have an interim release with SPF 
support in it.  It can be downloaded from http://www.declude.com/interim (a 
new URL that we are going to be using for interim releases, that explains a 
bit more about them).  To use the new SPF test, you can add lines such as:

SPFPASS spf passx   -5  0
SPFFAIL spf failx   8   0
to your global.cfg file.  SPF returns PASS for E-mail that passes SPF 
(that comes from an IP that is acceptable to the owner of the domani that 
it claims to be coming from), FAIL for E-mail that fails SPF (that does 
not come from an acceptable IP for the domain), or UNKNOWN (for E-mail 
from domains that do not use SPF yet, or for some other reason should 
return UNKNOWN).

This will help reduce false positives (for domains that have SPF support), 
and help capture more spam (as spam comes in from domains that have SPF 
support, but the spammer isn't using an acceptable IP).

[Declude.JunkMail] ZAPTHEDINGBAT v1.0.0 and Y!DIRECTED v1.0.4

The obfuscation exploit for IE that was reported a week ago is now being 
seen on my server (2 times yesterday).  Both were PayPal scams, and in 
both instances, I would have passed the messages if I didn't have this 
filter in place because the only other test they failed was FRAUDDOMAINS 
(a variant of SPAMDOMAINS which is scored higher).

The filter is now downloadable from my site, named ZAPTHEDINGBAT (which 
is what the bug is named).

   MailPure :: Filter Software :: Declude Filters
   http://www.mailpure.com/software/decludefilters/
Also, the Y!DIRECTED filter has been updated to v1.0.4.  It now includes 
an additional string that someone discovered which spammers are now 
using for redirection through Yahoo.

They are treated differently.  An SPF lookup can result in PASS, FAIL, or 
UNKNOWN.  So:

Ideally I would like something like this:

SPFPASS spf pass x -5 0
SPFUNKN spf unknown  x 4  0
SPFFAIL spf fail x 8  0
This will work fine.

At this time, though, I would not recommend penalizing for the UNKNOWN 
response, as most domains do not yet have an SPF record.

However, we plan to soon add a way of letting you force SPF records for 
domains that don't have them, as well as having a default SPF record.  This 
would allow the UNKNOWN result to be more useful.

Gotcha, all 3 are already setup :)

I don't really want to penalize for unknown, was just making an example.
( I just setup spf on my postfix box yesterday as well to help get past some
restrictions for pass)

Sounds like you are setting the the spf-guess (which defaults to mx/24 a/24
right?)

domains that don't have them, as well as having a default SPF record.  This
would allow the UNKNOWN result to be more useful.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF BIND OT question

Scott - 

If you would a little help please w/my Bind to impliment SPF:

In a zone file I would add:
example.com. IN TXT v=spf1 mx ptr ip4:63.170.56.4 -all
mail.example.com. IN TXT v=spf1 a -all
mail2.example.com. IN TXT v=spf1 a -all

Is this correct - one line for the domain and one line for each 
mailserver?

Thanks!

Subject:Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF support to be added to next beta
Send reply to:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 
 We will be adding support for SPF (Sender Permitted From, at 
 http://spf.pobox.com ) to the next beta of Declude JunkMail.  This is
 a system that lets owners of domains publish information on what
 mailservers people can use to send mail from the domain.  We expect
 that this can be very useful in blocking spam (similar to the
 SPAMDOMAINS test), as well as helping ensure that legitimate mail
 gets through.
 
 For those that are interested, we now have an interim release with SPF
 support in it.  It can be downloaded from
 http://www.declude.com/interim (a new URL that we are going to be
 using for interim releases, that explains a bit more about them).  To
 use the new SPF test, you can add lines such as:
 
 SPFPASS spf passx   -5  0
 SPFFAIL spf failx   8   0
 
 to your global.cfg file.  SPF returns PASS for E-mail that passes
 SPF (that comes from an IP that is acceptable to the owner of the
 domani that it claims to be coming from), FAIL for E-mail that fails
 SPF (that does not come from an acceptable IP for the domain), or
 UNKNOWN (for E-mail from domains that do not use SPF yet, or for
 some other reason should return UNKNOWN).
 
 This will help reduce false positives (for domains that have SPF
 support), and help capture more spam (as spam comes in from domains
 that have SPF support, but the spammer isn't using an acceptable IP).

Yes, I like the idea of reassuring that an unsubscribe site is not used for
harvesting.  I recognize that people often report something as spam, because
they feel it's safer than being tricked into unsubscribing.  Rather than
getting negative weight du to Spamcop and being blocked, messages could pass
to those people who truly wanted to know what items are new at Walmart.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Active X filter

2003-12-18 Thread Matthew Bramble
The parm name entry is used outside of ActiveX, maybe not a good idea to 
include it here?  Also, your scoring is going to be incremental with 4 
for the filter in Global.cfg as well as 4 points for each line of the 
filter this hits.  I'm not sure if that's what you intended.

While this is probably highly indicative of spam (ones with Active X 
controls embedded to play video for instance, plus some others, Java for 
instance), Web designers, and especially Flash programmers, will get 
blocked by this.  The spammers sending this stuff out generally are 
static IP'd, and I would personally err on the side of letting the RBL's 
take care of it rather than introduce more potential for FP's on my 
system.  I haven't seen this stuff getting through except in a very rare 
case.

We will be adding support for SPF (Sender Permitted From, at
http://spf.pobox.com ) to the next beta of Declude JunkMail.  This is a 
system that lets owners of domains publish information on what mailservers 
people can use to send mail from the domain.  We expect that this can be 
very useful in blocking spam (similar to the SPAMDOMAINS test), as well as 
helping ensure that legitimate mail gets through.

For those that are interested, we now have an interim release with SPF 
support in it.  It can be downloaded from http://www.declude.com/interim (a 
new URL that we are going to be using for interim releases, that explains a 
bit more about them).  To use the new SPF test, you can add lines such as:

SPFPASS spf passx   -5  0
SPFFAIL spf failx   8   0

to your global.cfg file.  SPF returns PASS for E-mail that passes SPF 
(that comes from an IP that is acceptable to the owner of the domani that 
it claims to be coming from), FAIL for E-mail that fails SPF (that does 
not come from an acceptable IP for the domain), or UNKNOWN (for E-mail 
from domains that do not use SPF yet, or for some other reason should 
return UNKNOWN).

This will help reduce false positives (for domains that have SPF support), 
and help capture more spam (as spam comes in from domains that have SPF 
support, but the spammer isn't using an acceptable IP).

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF support to be added to next beta

2003-12-18 Thread Markus Gufler

 Wow, seeing positive results already!  Thanks Scott for 
 getting this implemented so quickly!  Guess I will need to 
 setup my SPF records now.

I've some questions:
Our situation here is, that we host mailservices for several customers.
We have also our own DNS servers and so we're able to set up SPF TXT
records.

But as I understand we can't set up silently this records for all our
domains because we can't be sure that all of our clients send all their
outgoing (legit) mail traffic trough our Mailserver. (that we've authorized
in the SPF records)

For example if there is on customer side an Exchange Admin that has set up
his server to make MX lookups and route outgoing SMTP traffic directly to
the recipients server. I know it's risky to do this from a dynamic IP or
without REVDNS-entry ..., but this is not under our control.

So as I can understand we have to parse trough our smtp-logfiles to find out
which customer send his outgoing mail trough our server. Then we can add SPF
records only for this domains. Otherwise we risk to penalize our customers
outgoing mail traffic if it's not send trough our server and the destination
makes also SPF lookups.

Right or do I miss something?

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF support to be added to next beta

2003-12-18 Thread R. Scott Perry

Our situation here is, that we host mailservices for several customers.
We have also our own DNS servers and so we're able to set up SPF TXT
records.
But as I understand we can't set up silently this records for all our
domains because we can't be sure that all of our clients send all their
outgoing (legit) mail traffic trough our Mailserver. (that we've authorized
in the SPF records)
What you can do in this case is something like v=spf1 +mx ?all.  This 
will give a PASS response to anyone sending mail from the domain(s) you add 
the SPF record for, if they are coming from an IP in their MX 
record.  Otherwise, an UNKNOWN result will be returned (the same thing that 
they would get if you did not have an SPF record).

This will provide positive benefits, without having any negative benefits.

If you know a domain will only be sending mail through your mailservers, 
you can instead use -all at the end (which gives a FAIL result for E-mail 
sent from other IPs).

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF support to be added to next beta

2003-12-18 Thread R. Scott Perry

A) Is there an %SPFSTATUS% variable for use in the headers (that will show
FAIL/PASS/UNKNOWN)?
No.  But we will look into this.

B) If not, is there a generic SPF test in the global.cfg, so that I can
use one line to create a WARN action e.g.
SPF spf *   x   x   x
I don't think this would be useful, as it wouldn't know whether the E-mail 
passed or failed the test (or returned an UNKNOWN result).

Instead, you could use:

SPFPASS WARNX-Note: This E-mail passed SPF
SPFFAIL WARNX-Note: This E-mail failed SPF

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Active X filter

what will it filter out? Anything with ActiveX embedded in the

miracle bra,a travel "good dealz" ad, and as seen on TV ads.

I'm not familar with mypoints.com adshaven't seen any

Typically, you'll recognize them when the email comes and you

 One major suggestion:  If filters are shared - I really think no negative
 filters should be shared.  Negative words and filters getting in the hands
 of our beloved spammer would hurt everyone.  But that is just my 2 cents.

AH, but I am scheming a way to combat that. Of course, not everyone will be
happy, but then when can you please everyone?

 Out filter files are updated four times a day and if we can create a
 network
 of such sites and mirror sites.. Stopping a spam, a hoax or a scam can be
 done much faster among the group.

They way I am going to try to do this is that who is a member, can then
script via FTP those filters they want. Then, when some one updates their
files, they could script via ftp updates to the site.

As far as bandwidth, we are talking about text files and zipped version and
therefore bandwidth usage would be small, AFAIK.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Overflow Directory

2003-12-18 Thread Bill
I had a similar problem last week.  In that case, it turned out to be a
problem with the Sniffer add-on program for declude Junkmail.  It was
related to their new wide-release-beta (v2-2b).  They have had flurry of
beta releases addressing the problem.  The latest is v2-2b6.  I have
been running it for several days with no problems.

Here is a message from the Sniffer e-mail list when this problem was
happening:

Scott,
 I've got a little problem here, all of a sudden (as of this morning)
the declude overflow directory is flooded with mail waiting to be
delivered.

1:47 AM - 2:04 AM not moving at all so I copied them from overflow 
spool to another directory.

Big gap until 3:11 PM - mail is coming in faster than can be delivered.

No evidence of a dictionary attack that I've seen so far.

Currently 30,927 in the overflow directory and growing.

I'll take the standard user cop out and say I didn't change anything
('cause I didn't).

All of my DNS servers are responding correctly, I've switched between
all three that I have available with no noticeable improvement.

Imail 7.15 w/all hotfixes
Win2K Advanced Server
Declude Virus / F-Prot
Declude JM Pro 1.77 beta

Any ideas ?

Any responses off list to fsquib at kecksburg dot net please (different

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF vs. Form Mail

2003-12-18 Thread Andy Schmidt
Hi,

I assume that Form Mail's are a big problem under SPF?  If a web site
(greeting card site) inserts the users email address as the from address,
then it will fail SPF, correct?  

Or, if we host a web site for a client, the registrations or feedback
form mailers email the input to the client using the from address of the
web visitor (otherwise, clients tend to press the reply button and end up
sending their acknowledgements to our mail server, rather than to the
visitor).  These emails will fail SPF, because the web visitors domain will
not list our web server as a valid sender!?

In other words, in real life, SPF is best use to subtract weight for PASS,
rather than add (any substantial) weight for FAIL?  It has to be treated
like the SPAMDOMAINS test - except that the entries are maintained by the
owner of each domain and thus are more likely to be accurate.  But we can't
reach block based on SPF failures without ignoring the reality of the www?

 This will provide positive benefits, without having any 
 negative benefits.
 
 If you know a domain will only be sending mail through your 
 mailservers, you can instead use -all at the end (which 
 gives a FAIL result for E-mail sent from other IPs).

Ok, thank you for this information.
But I have to know in any case of all the domains that send out legit
messages trough our server.

Is there any way to gather this information from already present logfiles
(smtp, declude jm, ...) ?

If not: Would it be possible to have something like 

LOGSPFINFO ON

that can be enabled temporary for some days to write one line for every
outgoing message. (eventually also in a separate logfile)

Then we can uniq and sort this list and know about all domains where we can
add safely the SPF TXT records.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF vs. Form Mail

2003-12-18 Thread Matthew Bramble
Andy,

I'm with you on the idea being that this is much like SPAMDOMAINS, 
however, I don't think that I will be subtracting any points for E-mails 
that pass.  I see spam coming through legit servers every day, and 
what's to stop a static spammer from adding these records to their own 
server?  Nothing I assume, and that could present problems than it fixes 
if negatively weighted.

I view this as a fail only test, and while I could probably score it at 
80% comfortably while it is not in widespread use, I'm only going to 
weight it the same as my SPAMDOMAINS test which I believe is at 40% of 
my fail weight.

I still have to read up on this some more and figure it all out, but am 
I correct that this matches the MAILFROM address and not something else 
like the the HELO?

Matt

1.  Does anyone have stats. on false positives v. uncaught spam for various

2.  Can someone point me to Scott's November Spam Statistics post.  I 
couldn't find it in the Declude archive.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF vs. Form Mail

2003-12-18 Thread Kevin Bilbee
When we create a form on a server we never send the form using the email
address that the user entered. Toomany times the user enters the address
incorrectly.

We use a from address of the domain we are in and place what the user typed
in the body of the message. This guarentees that we get all messages.

greeting card sites can do the same thing but they do not. The can use an
address in their own domain to send the email and add a header for the reply
to address as the person who sent the message. They can also use the persons
email address or name as the friendly name to display in the mail client

[Declude.JunkMail] Sniffer and Low Spam Weight

2003-12-18 Thread Burzin Sumariwalla
Hello,

Some of my spam that gets caught has a really low weight.  This usually 
indicates a FP.
I was wondering is it possible to setup a Declude config such that a total 
Declude weight of
less than 5 will ignore the normal action of Sniffer.

In other words is it possible to set an action of a test conditional upon 
the total Declude value of the
message.

Any ideas or thoughts?

Thanks,
Burzin

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF vs. Form Mail

2003-12-18 Thread Andy Schmidt
Yes, I understand how it can be done - unfortunately, many form mailer
scripts don't use the reply-to header and greeting card companies seem to
use the from field.

Bottom line - unless web sites are being changed, we cannot define -all,
we have to define ?all since any of our users may be sending mail
through a third party web site.  Of course, ?all means that there will never
be a FAIL - which is equivalent to giving no or little weight.

Re[2]: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF vs. Form Mail

2003-12-18 Thread Sanford Whiteman
 greeting  card  sites can do the same thing but they do not. The can
 use  an  address  in  their  own  domain to send the email and add a
 header  for the reply to address as the person who sent the message.

Not  just  the Reply-To:, but the From: as well. It is not technically
difficult  to  change  form  code to separate the envelope sender from
header information.

Non-delivery notifications are made more difficult in such situations,
however  (if  eBay  had  wanted NDRs to go to the user, rather than to
their  server,  the user had to be the Return-Path:...and thus some of
the more complicated parts of SPF, such as sender rewriting).

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Sniffer and Low Spam Weight

2003-12-18 Thread Sanford Whiteman
 In other words is it possible to set an action of a test conditional
 upon the total Declude value of the message.

I  believe--but  this  may  be  outdated  info--that  you can pass the
%WEIGHT% var to a test (as well as some other in-progress parameters),
so you could set up an external test that checks the current value and
then  shells  to Sniffer if desired, returning either 0 or the Sniffer
result.

Well, that's one way. Only thought about it for a sec.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] HOTMAIL ?

2003-12-18 Thread R. Scott Perry

Could you explain to a newbie what the format is of the 
C:\Imail\Declude\SpamDomains.txt file is and what the entries mean? 
Looking back through the archives, I see some lines with single entries 
and others with 2 entries per line. Like:

.aol.com
@aol.com   .aol.com
The first column is text that must appear in the return address of the 
E-mail (from the X-Declude-Sender: header) header in order for that line to 
be used.  If there is a match there, then the reverse DNS entry must 
contain either the text from the first column or the second column.

So .aol.com would not do much, as most AOL E-mail comes from 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (which doesn't contain .aol.com).  However, E-mail from 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would need to come from an IP with a reverse DNS entry 
containing .aol.com.

The @aol.com .aol.com line would require that any E-mail from @aol.com 
have a reverse DNS entry with either @aol.com or .aol.com in it (note 
that a reverse DNS entry won't have @aol.com in it, so it essentially 
would require the reverse DNS entry to contain .aol.com).

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF support to be added to next beta

2003-12-18 Thread R. Scott Perry

But I have to know in any case of all the domains that send out legit
messages trough our server.
No, you do not.  You can simply add the v=spf1 +mx ?all to all your domains.

However, if you want to take the time to find ones that only send through 
your server, you can change them from v=spf1 +mx ?all to v=spf1 +mx -all.

If not: Would it be possible to have something like

LOGSPFINFO ON

that can be enabled temporary for some days to write one line for every
outgoing message. (eventually also in a separate logfile)
With the current interim release, a C:\spf.log will be recorded for domains 
with SPF entries, and C:\spf.none for domains without SPF entries.

From: Matthew Bramble [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I view this as a fail only test, and while I could probably score it at
 80% comfortably while it is not in widespread use, I'm only going to
 weight it the same as my SPAMDOMAINS test which I believe is at 40% of
 my fail weight.

This was my thought, as well.  I have already found e-mail that I felt was
spam that had valid SPF records.  I am currently only using SPF as positive
weight test, but am monitoring the logs to see if using it as a weight
reduction test is also viable.

 I still have to read up on this some more and figure it all out, but am
 I correct that this matches the MAILFROM address and not something else
 like the the HELO?

I believe it is the domain part of the original sender's e-mail address that
is queried for its txt record.  Scott, is this correct?  However, it appears
to use the list servers domain address if sent from a mailing list.

This was my thought, as well.  I have already found e-mail that I felt was

I'm curious about this one -- could you let me know the domain?

I think whitelisting E-mail based on an SPF PASS probably isn't a wise 
idea, but I'm sure that spammers that do use SPF will be much easier to 
catch (they are providing a list of IPs that they may be spamming from G).

 I still have to read up on this some more and figure it all out, but am

I believe it is the domain part of the original sender's e-mail address that

to use the list servers domain address if sent from a mailing list.
Normally, it uses the return address of the E-mail (MAILFROM, from the 
X-Declude-Sender: header).  However, if there is a NULL  return address, 
or the address isn't valid (postmaster, for example), then the domain in 
the HELO/EHLO will be used.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF vs. Form Mail

2003-12-18 Thread Kevin Bilbee
Agreed but with any change some code needs to be modified to support new
ways of processing data.

As for the greeting card companies if SPF takes off they will wake up and
change their delivery method. How else will they make their advertising
buck?

There will always be a time of adjustment where the configurations will have
to be less restrictive. But if you notify all your accounts/programmers of
the future tighting up of the policy the beenfit will be greater and the
discomfort of change will be minimized.

 Yes, I understand how it can be done - unfortunately, many form mailer
 scripts don't use the reply-to header and greeting card
 companies seem to
 use the from field.

 Bottom line - unless web sites are being changed, we cannot define -all,
 we have to define ?all since any of our users may be sending mail
 through a third party web site.  Of course, ?all means that there
 will never
 be a FAIL - which is equivalent to giving no or little weight.

 When we create a form on a server we never send the form using the email
 address that the user entered. Toomany times the user enters the address
 incorrectly.

 We use a from address of the domain we are in and place what the
 user typed
 in the body of the message. This guarentees that we get all messages.

 greeting card sites can do the same thing but they do not. The can use an
 address in their own domain to send the email and add a header
 for the reply

 the persons
 email address or name as the friendly name to display in the mail client

  Hi,
 
  I assume that Form Mail's are a big problem under SPF?  If a web site
  (greeting card site) inserts the users email address as the from
  address, then it will fail SPF, correct?
 
  Or, if we host a web site for a client, the registrations or
  feedback form mailers email the input to the client using the from
  address of the web visitor (otherwise, clients tend to press the reply
  button and end up sending their acknowledgements to our mail server,
  rather than to the visitor).  These emails will fail SPF, because the
  web visitors domain will not list our web server as a valid sender!?
 
  In other words, in real life, SPF is best use to subtract weight for
  PASS, rather than add (any substantial) weight for FAIL?  It has
  to be treated like the SPAMDOMAINS test - except that the entries
  are maintained by the
  owner of each domain and thus are more likely to be accurate.
  But we can't
  reach block based on SPF failures without ignoring the reality
 of the www?

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF vs. Form Mail

2003-12-18 Thread R. Scott Perry

As for the greeting card companies if SPF takes off they will wake up and
change their delivery method. How else will they make their advertising
buck?
Actually, the greeting card companies *should* already be doing this.  The 
return address is used for bounce messages.  If they are using the supposed 
E-mail address of the web site visitor, any bounces will go to the innocent 
victim whose E-mail address has been used.  So they should use their own 
domain name in the return address.  If this is the case, they automatically 
get an UNKNOWN instead of a FAIL (or a PASS if they add their own SPF record).

Meanwhile, if they keep the supposed address of the web site visitor in the 
From:/Sender:/Reply-To: headers, the recipient probably won't know the 
difference, and replies will be sent to the person who requested that the 
greeting card be sent.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF vs. Form Mail

From: R. Scott Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 This was my thought, as well.  I have already found e-mail that I felt
was
 spam that had valid SPF records.

 I'm curious about this one -- could you let me know the domain?

I was a little hasty in my statement above.  When I went to retrieve the
domain for you, I checked on the site and did a closer review of the
messages and found that they were e-mails from a legitimate opt-in list.
However, I will keep track and report any questionable findings.

 I think whitelisting E-mail based on an SPF PASS probably isn't a wise
 idea, but I'm sure that spammers that do use SPF will be much easier to
 catch (they are providing a list of IPs that they may be spamming from
G).

Yes, this is a good thing, indeed!

 I believe it is the domain part of the original sender's e-mail address
that
 is queried for its txt record.  Scott, is this correct?  However, it
appears
 to use the list servers domain address if sent from a mailing list.

 Normally, it uses the return address of the E-mail (MAILFROM, from the
 X-Declude-Sender: header).  However, if there is a NULL  return address,
 or the address isn't valid (postmaster, for example), then the domain in
 the HELO/EHLO will be used.

Thanks for the clarification.

Bill

If I was a spammer, I would use this to my advantage.  These guys 
collect 2,000 IP's at a time, and move around their blocks in order to 
avoid being perma-listed in the RBL's already, and turning on and off 
some SPF listings can't be that much more difficult.  Besides that, even 
legit servers pass spam.  Forwarding is problematic for this test, and 
then there's the fact that very small-time spammers will use their ISP 
to send out their garbage.  The very small-time spammers are the most 
likely to get through my server, but thankfully the volume is low.

If SPF becomes popular, crediting points for passing the test will 
become a big no-no.  Maybe this isn't something that you will want to 
support long-term?

Normally, it uses the return address of the E-mail (MAILFROM, from the 
X-Declude-Sender: header).  However, if there is a NULL  return 
address, or the address isn't valid (postmaster, for example), then 
the domain in the HELO/EHLO will be used.


I'm not sure if this is in the RFC, but it would be a lot more accurate 
if you could compare the HELO to the SPF data.  Some scripts to also 
falsify the HELO, but no where near the number of forged domains in 
MAILFROM.

Maybe a separate test possibility?  Or even a replacement?

I do like this whole idea a lot better than Web-O-Trust though.  My only 
concern about the viability of this test is how responsible 
administrators will be in covering their scripts as well as their mail 
server.  I suspect that human nature will show its face and mitigate the 
usefulness to some extent.  The fact that this appears hard to 
understand at first glance (to me at least) tells me that it's likely to 
be screwed up.

[Declude.JunkMail] Something to be blocking

2003-12-18 Thread Matthew Bramble
The most troublesome crud spammer of them all (the p-patch guy) is 
currently sending out E-mails with the following line in the headers:

   X-Ki: random characters

I'm going to throw in a filter for this as follows:

   HEADERS  30CONTAINS  X-Ki:

I suspect this pattern may be short-lived, but he just got 2 messages to 
me in a 5 minute space, coming from two different IP's.  Someone needs 
to put this guy in jail for a long-time.  The FBI could track this guy 
down in a matter of days.

I noticed that local form mails seem to PASS SPF?  That's nice - but
how/why?

That's because:

the IP is 127.0.0.1.  The RFC draft for SPF requires that E-mail from 
127.0.0.1 return a PASS result.
