[Declude.JunkMail] clean up virus folder

2006-11-14 Thread netsolution webmaster

I have more than 800'000 files in the spool/virus folder.

I can not delete these files through windows explorer, windows search or 
whatever because of the huge number of files.


Which tool/method can you recommend to delete all these files?

Thanks

Hi,

How about a simple commandline?
C:
cd \imail\spool\virus
del .
Y
should bring you a long way.

If you want to break it down a bit do "Del a*.*", 
"Del b*.*", etc. to be able to let the server "get some air" in 
between.

For the future... Here is what I use each 
night:
DTLog is a small program I wrote which prepends 
each line with a date/time stamp. You need to modify those lines. The batchfile

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] delete mails before processing / 100% CPU / per domain config

2006-11-14 Thread Andy Schmidt
Hi,

Imail will call Declude AFTER it has completely received the message. That
means you're stuck with all these junk messages. The best you can do is
DELETE or HOLD them, but only AFTER you scanned them all.

So with Imail+Declude you are only saving the time it takes to deliver the
message into a mailbox. But, that's probably not a net saving in processor
time, because I would guess it takes AT LEAST at much time to scan a message
and perform all these tests that it would have taken to move the message
into a mailbox.

Declude is not meant to save processing cycles, it's meant to reduce work
hours spent by end users reading/handling spam message.

If your current box can't handle the load, than the ultimate solution is
more processing power - either by upgrading the box, or by delegating some
of the work to a gateway.

Best Regards
Andy Schmidt

Hello

Thanks for your answer.

So I understand it can not be done to reject invalid senders simply by using
Declude/Imail?

I really need another product?

Also another question: I use per domain configuration for Junkmail - can it
be configured so that it only performs the tests on mails that go to a
domain that has been set up with a configuration folder?

It seems like declude is doing the tests on all mails which uses more
ressources than doing the tests only when required (as defined in per domain
config)

Thanks

 Hi,

 Basically, you should put a mail gateway in front of your mail server 
 that can integrate your list of valid email recipients and that can 
 refuse most of  your messages based on your anti-spam and anti-virus
policies.

 One option would be to run Declude's own gateway product.

 However, to me a crucial element of a gateway is that it MUST reject 
 messages DURING the SMTP envelope (e.g., after the data is received 
 but before the receipt is confirmed with a 2xx.).  This way, the 
 gateway can refuse unwanted messages with a 5xx (or 4xx) return code 
 and the SENDING SMTP server will inform its user.

 It is an absolute must in case of the occasional false positive. At 
 least a good sender will be notified that there's a problem with their
email.

 If a gateway first accepts messages and THEN scans them, it would need 
 to generate bounce messages AFTER the fact. The result is a very 
 high likelihood that your system will be spamming innocent email users 
 whose address had been faked.

 I simply can't consider any gateway product that doesn't do spam/virus 
 rejection DURING the SMTP envelope!

 One alternative could be to set up IIS SMTP on one of your machines, 
 point your MX there, purchase ORF and then integrate it with Sniffer 
 so that it can reject the vast majority of your spam.

 If you also bring your list of valid email recipients over to that 
 IIS/ORF/Sniffer gateway, then you can reject invalid recipients (e.g., 
 dictionary attacks) at that machine, instead of tying up Imail with that.

In addition to the other good suggestions here, check to be sure you do not 
have a nobody alias anywhere on your system.


Just one nobody alias on a domain that is being attacked can kill the whole 
server.


If you find any, delete them.

No sense virus scanning the 80% of the email you could be deleting.
Put AVAFTERJM ON in your virus.cfg.

Unfortunately not. Any test that is defined in your global.cfg file
will be run against all message recieved. Your $default.junkmail file
simply tells Declude what to do with the message based upon the
results of those tests.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] delete mails before processing / 100% CPU

2006-11-14 Thread Darin Cox
Your best bet is to add a mail gateway like IMGate, Alligate, MS SMTP/ORF,
etc. to take the load off of IMail for dropping connections for bad email
addresses and possibly some scanning at the gateway.

You might also check your Declude logs to make sure you don't have any DNS
tests that are timing out and causing delays in mail scanning/higher CPU
utilization.  You may have to switch to DEBUG mode temporarily to check
that.

Darin.

2006-11-14 Thread Craig Edmonds

Not sure if this is any help but I had similar issues and found that my
C:\IMAIL\spool\proc\work folder contained hundreds of thousands of messages.

When I deleted all the messagaes in there, the pop 3 server share of the cpu
dropped dramatically.

I could not actually delete everything in the work folder initially. I had
to stop the declude process in services, then rename the /work folder to
/work2, started declude service again and a new /work folder was created.

I actually have no idea why this worked and am not enough of an anorak to
study why, but it worked for me and I do this every few days.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] delete mails before processing / 100% CPU

2006-11-14 Thread Andy Schmidt
Hi,

Basically, you should put a mail gateway in front of your mail server that
can integrate your list of valid email recipients and that can refuse most
of  your messages based on your anti-spam and anti-virus policies.

One option would be to run Declude's own gateway product.

However, to me a crucial element of a gateway is that it MUST reject
messages DURING the SMTP envelope (e.g., after the data is received but
before the receipt is confirmed with a 2xx.).  This way, the gateway can
refuse unwanted messages with a 5xx (or 4xx) return code and the SENDING
SMTP server will inform its user.

It is an absolute must in case of the occasional false positive. At least a
good sender will be notified that there's a problem with their email.

If a gateway first accepts messages and THEN scans them, it would need to
generate bounce messages AFTER the fact. The result is a very high
likelihood that your system will be spamming innocent email users whose
address had been faked.

I simply can't consider any gateway product that doesn't do spam/virus
rejection DURING the SMTP envelope!

One alternative could be to set up IIS SMTP on one of your machines, point
your MX there, purchase ORF and then integrate it with Sniffer so that it
can reject the vast majority of your spam.

If you also bring your list of valid email recipients over to that
IIS/ORF/Sniffer gateway, then you can reject invalid recipients (e.g.,
dictionary attacks) at that machine, instead of tying up Imail with that.

Andy Schmidt

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] delete mails before processing / 100% CPU

With the massive amount of spam mail our server has difficulties to process
everything in time,  since two days we are on 100% CPU and customers have
difficulties with pop/imap speed (before everything was ok).

What ways are there to
- refuse mails that have no valid recipient on the mailserver (not bounce,
just refuse/drop) so they need no more processing?
- refuse/drop mails that don't pass certain tests (eg. spamcop or sniffer)?

OR what other methods could speed up things?

We have older versions of declude /imail server (8.15)

Thanks

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] delete mails before processing / 100% CPU / per domain config

2006-11-14 Thread netsolution webmaster

Hello

Thanks for your answer.

So I understand it can not be done to reject invalid senders simply by 
using Declude/Imail?


I really need another product?

Also another question: I use per domain configuration for Junkmail - can 
it be configured so that it only performs the tests on mails that go to 
a domain that has been set up with a configuration folder?


It seems like declude is doing the tests on all mails which uses more 
ressources than doing the tests only when required (as defined in per 
domain config)


Thanks

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] delete mails before processing / 100% CPU / per domain config

2006-11-14 Thread Doug Traylor

If your current box can't handle the load, than the ultimate solution is
more processing power - either by upgrading the box, or by delegating some
of the work to a gateway.


ASSP is a great addition to an overworked Imail/Declude server and
will reduce the amount of email that server has to cope with.  It is
free and will run on the same server as Imail/Declude or on another
spare box under Windows or Linux.  It will do envelope rejection of
invalid recipients, invalid senders, invalid HELO, etc.  It is very
configurable, and will even do automatic blacklisting of IP's that
misbehave.  It also has an active development group.

ASSP is a proxy.  It sits in front of _any_ SMTP server service.  It
does _not_ do store and forward and is therefore not a gateway.  It
can work in concert with another SMTP server service to perform
gateway service to an existing Imail site.  I am using ASSP feeding
hMailserver which then hands off to a couple of Imail servers.
hMailserver is functioning as one of my SMTP antivirus scanners in
that it integrates with SOSDG Clam AV clamd service and is very fast
and does not have any domains defined in it except in the routing
section.  hMailserver then routes the email to one of my Imail servers
based on recipient domain.

In my experience, ASSP, hMailserver, and Imail together are completely
stable and I have been using them for years.

ASSP does not currently support SSL/TLS but will work with standard
SMTP auth and can listen on multiple ports.

Hah!  Me?  Short instructions?
I can't give short instructions on how to tie a shoe! :o)

Setting up ASSP/hMailserver/ClamAV/Imail/Declude will be a fairly long
process with the good news that not much has to change for your
Imail/Declude setup except the listen port and the SMTP delivery
gateway:port.  If you add hMailserver as a gateway and use Declude
Junkmail to do connection based analysis (spf, rbl, helo, etc.) using
the sending IP, you will be disappointed to find the the sending IP
will now be your own server and unless you have the premium version of
Declude Junkmail it will no longer be useful to compare the sending
IP.  I believe the premium version of Declude will look at all the
IP's in the path and potentially exclude your servers.  Not sure about
that one.  The good news is that with ASSP in front, you may not miss
it.  Using ASSP alone in front of Imail/Declude should allow Declude
connection tests to continue to work.

Since this is a Declude list I will spare the other members the horror
of reading about another product's installation steps and send you a
synopsis directly to your list address if that is OK.

For those interested, I say check out the links in my earlier post for
ASSP, www.hmailserver.com for that and

Yes, Declude can look at all the IPs in the connecting path. Or it can just 
skip you IPs and look at the connecting IP so many hops away.

 Hah!  Me?  Short instructions?
 I can't give short instructions on how to tie a shoe! :o)
 
 Setting up ASSP/hMailserver/ClamAV/Imail/Declude will be a fairly long
 process with the good news that not much has to change for your
 Imail/Declude setup except the listen port and the SMTP delivery
 gateway:port.  If you add hMailserver as a gateway and use Declude
 Junkmail to do connection based analysis (spf, rbl, helo, etc.) using
 the sending IP, you will be disappointed to find the the sending IP
 will now be your own server and unless you have the premium version of
 Declude Junkmail it will no longer be useful to compare the sending
 IP.  I believe the premium version of Declude will look at all the
 IP's in the path and potentially exclude your servers.  Not sure about
 that one.  The good news is that with ASSP in front, you may not miss
 it.  Using ASSP alone in front of Imail/Declude should allow Declude
 connection tests to continue to work.
 
 Since this is a Declude list I will spare the other members the horror
 of reading about another product's installation steps and send you a
 synopsis directly to your list address if that is OK.
 
 For those interested, I say check out the links in my earlier post for
 ASSP, www.hmailserver.com for that and

[Declude.JunkMail] IPBYPASS with multiple domains

2006-11-14 Thread Bill Green dfn Systems
I have a customer whose email domain we are hosting who recently began using 
Postini. This is the first time I've had to deal with a gateway. The 
documentation is pretty clear, but I do have one question. Since the gateway 
is only for one domain, will IPBYPASS work without interfering with the 
other domains? Or will I have to use HOPHIGH to catch them all?

 An  advantage  of using Microsoft Database Mirroring is that you can
 remain   on   a   100%  Microsoft  supported  solution.

Sure,  but for the cost, you can have a full-time NSI engineer instead
(who  by  necessity  and experience knows their supported MS apps like
the  back  of  her/his hand). Many 24/7 enterprises leave the PSS fine
print  behind  to use third-party clustering solutions that better fit
their  needs. Bottom line is you have to do your homework in all areas
to be able to support geoclusters or local clusters.

[Also,  to  be  frank  about these things, there's nothing forcing you
divulge an underlying clustering scenario to PSS. There's a difference
between  trying to fool them into a wild goose chase, and knowing from
experience  -- and comparison with a cluster-free lab -- that an issue
is 99.999% likely to be observed even if the cluster is taken down and
uninstalled,  and  thus  acting  in good faith in concentrating on the
issue at hand.]

 I'd  be curious to hear if Sandy or anyone has compared db mirroring
 to  double-take  and  other  solutions  that  made sense before this
 feature was available but may be less desirable now.

I  haven't, mostly due to the cost, but also because I more often find
myself   clustering   apps  that  wouldn't  apply  (Sybase,  Exchange,
nonupgradeable  MSSQL 2000, mailbox storage back ends and filesystems,
MySQL, and so on).

Someday,  if  somebody's really running the table with MS products and
has overflowing pockets, I'd be interested in looking into it.

Not correct.  Database mirroring is supported in Std Edition, but you
need two licenses.  The third server, the witness server can be an XP
OS and SQL Server 2005 Express (Free version) can be used on the witness
server since it does a crucial function but doesn't do any heavy

And of course, you need to be using the new SQL server 2005 native

RE: Re[8]: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Clustering solution

2006-11-14 Thread Robert E. Spivack
There are some big differences between clustering and database
mirroring.

Clustering requires running Microsoft approved storage hardware and must
be iSCSI or fiber channel.  That imposes a physical distance limitation
between the two servers.

With mirroring, you only need an IP connection between them. You could
actually have one on the East Coast and the other on the West Coast or
somewhere in between so geographic diversity / location redundancy is
possible whereas clustering implies both servers are in the same data
center let alone the same city, state, locale.

Mirroring is actually much easier to setup than clustering.  Just a few
quick clicks on setup/configuration and it's done.

The witness server is optional.  The concept is similar to clustering
with MNV (majority node voting).  The witness or 3rd server is needed to
avoid deadlock if there is a comm. link failure between two servers each
could declare itself the primary and the other dead so the witness is
needed to resolve the deadlock.  

That's why auto-failure requires a witness server.  Without a witness
server, you have manual failover because a human is required to
determine which server has failed and whether to force a fail over to
the second server.
