We too use Black Ice with great success (except Windows 2003R2 will not

about $700 per server.  We are also looking for a more cost-effective

The best part of Black Ice is it's easy to read interface to see what
hitting the server.  I will continue to use it just for that purpose, with
an ACL in the router ahead of the server to do the heavy lifting of access
control.  It is an effective blocker for UDP port probes, when used in
conjunction with an ACL which blocks the TCP and IP port probes, so an
outsider cannot execute anything.  On the other side, I would never use a
software application on the server as the primary defense...been there, done
that years ago when the Witty.A virus struck.

I'm sure that there are many opinions around here, but I don't think that
servers should be the place where you enforce security with a software
firewall.  Although you might like some of what it tells you, I would think
that a firewall and AV software would do the trick perfectly fine.  Of
course you can tune your firewall to your heart's content, and do things
like limit outgoing ports, run IDS, etc.  If you have enough servers, you
might also want to set up off-site vulnerability scanning on a scheduled
basis.  If you are worried about inside your network you should set up
VLANs.

As we saw a couple of years ago with Blackice, and then again last year with
Symantec Corporate, software that intercepts packets from the network are
themselves vulnerable to exploitation, and this is a good reason to use a
hardware firewall as at least a first level of defense, and only allow in
what is necessary.

I tried the Clam AV less than 1 year ago and it seemed to use more resources
than the F-Prot. However, since my original post asking about this I
discussed with Declude support and they helped me with trouble shooting the

How long ago did you try the Clan AV?  I know they released a newer version
a while back that was supposed to run more efficiently under windows and
reduce resource utilization.  

I am old school about AV, I think multiple virus scanners are a must.  But
then I have run multiple scanners for years and I always find virus detected
by the second scanner that shouldn't have gotten past the first.  Its kind
of enlightening when you think you are covered and then you add a second
scanner and see its catch things that should be there.

[Declude.JunkMail] Stopping Unwanted Virus Notifications

2007-01-03 Thread Don Schreiner
I am looking for the best approach to stop notifications to both sender and
recipients of virus detection (to reduce what I call back scatter). However,
if one of our own customers sends an e-mail and whereas a virus is detected,
I certainly want them to receive a notification about same so they can check
their computer. What is the best way to set this up in Declude 4.0+?

 

Reviewing the Declude Manual for 4.08 (while it does not specifically state
this), if you remove the Recipient.eml and the Postmaster.eml, this would be
one method to stop the notifications, but I am unsure what other wanted
notification functions this would break?

 

Another approach I used prior to upgrade was to modify the EML files with
the following. I am not sure this is still the best approach? Is there a
more up-to-date list of Virus' that forge the sender address? 

 

SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS Magistr

Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Stopping Unwanted Virus Notifications

 

Don,

More than 99% of viruses forge the sender, so therefore there is no utility
in notifying anyone since 99% of it would be misplaced.  The only
non-forging viruses that you are likely to see are macro viruses and they
are quite rare these days.

The only notifications that I send out are from bannotify.eml which is for
banned extensions.  These will only be triggered when a banned extension is
seen and a virus is not detected.  I also skip sending these for encrypted
archives using the following in my bannotify.eml file:

SKIPIFEXT ZIP-EXE
SKIPIFEXT ZIP-SCR
SKIPIFEXT ZIP-PIF
SKIPIFEXT ZIP-COM
SKIPIFEXT RAR-EXE
SKIPIFEXT RAR-SCR
SKIPIFEXT RAR-PIF
SKIPIFEXT RAR-COM

You should also add a SKIPIFEXT line for every BANNAME entry in your
virus.cfg file.

Still with this config, during an outbreak like the one last week where my
scanners lagged detection by one to two days, I was creating a ton of
backscatter.  This can be improved by running JunkMail before Virus and
applying an action of either HOLD or DELETE on certain weights so that such
messages if scored high enough, will not need to be bounced.  If you use
ROUTETO and have only one domain that you capture spam in, then you should
also add to your bannnotify.eml file a line that has SKIPIFRECIP
@your-capture-domain.com so that things that are captured as spam, but not
deleted, will not generate bannotify.eml bounces.

During any given time my system receives between 5% an 10% of all connection
traffic from backscatter, virtually all of it to invalid addresses on the
domains that I protect.  This volume is so tremendous that it out paces
legitimate E-mail by as much as three times.  I would implore everyone here
to stop using postmaster.eml, sender.eml and recipient.eml bounces entirely
even if they take care to try to keep up with forging virus names.  When
over 99% of it is forging, it makes no sense to be bouncing any of it when
it is detected as a virus.

[Declude.JunkMail] Seeking IMail Expert and Consultant for Hire - Follow Up

2006-12-22 Thread Don Schreiner
Remember this post I made back on November 10, 2006 (see below)? A lot of
list members have since e-mailed asking if I ever found someone and how it
was coming along. In follow-up to those same folks on the list we finally
completed upgrade to our Declude installs from 1.82  to 4.3.23. Once again
(since Scott left) I am comfortable with controlling Spam using Declude. We
remain at IMail 8.22 until such time I feel comfortable their Web Mail and
other Web based security/functionality issues get resolved.

 

I want to thank those who specifically responded offering help (Darrell with
Invariant, Dave Doherty, and Matt with Mail Pure), and also all the folks on
this list who have provided help to me over the years. All of you are the
best in the business and I would never have remained a Declude client for
the last 5 years without same. Folks like Sandy, John, Len, Doug, Andy,
Darin (and may others) who make posts make it possible to keep learning
moving forward.

 

Darrell with Invariant (http://www.invariantsystems.com) was the first to
respond and offered his help free of charge. I was not looking for free
help, but a consultant to work with. Regardless, I decided to take him up on
his offer and insisted to compensate something for his time. He never did
give me a fee or schedule, so I came up with one on my own and he was worth
every penny and more!!!

 

One of my major concerns was losing the ability reviewing False Positives
(as I was using the old Spam Review). That came to rest when I discovered
his Invariant False Positive Review software product. It is the best tool I
have ever used and loaded with all kinds of features like on-the-fly
reporting to Sniffer, Filter file updating, DNS lookups, and a lot more. If
anyone needs a cool tool to review your held Spam and built-in tools to
manage same, I highly recommend this FP Review product. Invariant also has
several other good products I strongly recommend including invURIBL which is
also helping us tag Spam. Darrell never really pushed his products on us,
but rather kept to helping me better understand our E-mail System, how best
to use and configure Declude, Sniffer, Filters, Weighting, and more. I made
the decision to purchase his products without pressure.

 

In summary, based on number of servers, accounts, and volume, it was not
cost-effective for us to farm out our Spam filtering. I strongly considered
doing this and it may be the most appropriate for other companies with
different circumstances. I needed to learn how to manage on our own with
what limited resources we had in place. Darrell was very sensitive to this,
our CPU usage, and other items. As we grow, we may need to implement a
Gateway server like IMGate, Alligate, ASSP, etc.(all of which I am studying)
, but for now we are hanging in there (about 60K messages daily on one
server, 40K on another, across multiple domains, about 3500 users). I am
also open to other products like MX Guard, but we have invested so much in
Declude it is difficult to switch at this point. We are stopping lots more
Spam thanks to Darrell's assistance and strongly recommend him to anyone
needing an E-mail server consultant.

 

Anyone interested in details, please e-mail me off-list and be glad to
share. Seasons greetings and peace to all!  Thanks.

Hi Jay and thanks for reply. Yes we seriously considered SmarterMail, but
need IMail ODBC due to a Coldfusion application we wrote and requires
database backend. Rewriting all the code over to XML that SmarterMail uses,
proved too resource intensive and costly. Yes we agree about message Sniffer

Have you considered moving away from iMail?  SmarterMail is a great value
and it sounds like things are only going to continue to improve with
SmarterMail 4.0, which is due early next year.  Also, have you looked at
Message Sniffer (www.armresearch.com)?  It's about $450/yr, but worth every

also work with a lot of churches and the recent Spam getting through is not
acceptable. Our current issues are not with performance/volume of e-mail as
we only process about 30-40k messages in/out daily. We want to upgrade to
our licensed latest version of IMail (and Declude), but any existing IMail
and Web Mail issues would not be acceptable to our clients (i.e. slowness,
miscalculated bytes, etc.)
 
Our current set-up and tools are as follows:
 
-Windows 2000 Advanced Server
-IMail 8.22 / Declude 1.82 / Sniffer
-SQL 7 Database (separate server and do not use IMail registry)
-F-Prot
-BlackIce (use for intrusion detection and tar-pitting dictionary attacks)
-The old Spam Review to ID False Positives
 
I hope some folks here are interested and no problem reimbursing for same.
 Again, please contact me off list if interested. Thanks.

[Declude.JunkMail] Email Servers and Declude

2006-10-26 Thread Don Schreiner








Does anyone know if Declude has been configured to work with
other E-mail Servers other than IMail and SmarterMail? I thought to remember someone
discussing this after Scott left and the new ownership was ramping up. Perhaps
I am thinking of Message Sniffer?



We are not comfortable renewing our 2 upcoming IMail SAs.
We remain at 8.22 and customer since version 4.0 days. We cannot risk installing
2006 with the existing Web Mail bugs (our clients use heavily) and other 2006 server
engine issues. We cannot switch to Smarter Mail because they lack SQL ODBC required
for our Community software. Converting to XML is too great a cost right now.



I am even questioning our 2 Declude SAs upcoming this
year. We remain at 1.82 and still uncomfortable with upgrading. I want to keep Declude/Message
Sniffer, as it has served us well over the years and why I remain renewing each
year.



Anyone have suggestions given our situation needing ODBC
Mail Server, Declude / Message Sniffer? Please feel free to reply off list if
desired. Thanks.

That would be Declude's gateway product. Since it

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Yahoo.com Resources temporarily unavailable

2006-08-08 Thread Don Schreiner








I was wondering the same thing about the
reverse DNS. 



We have the customer (holisticmoms.org) set-up
as a Virtual Domain under IMail. The DNS for their MX record we have set-up
pointing to our e-mail server IP number which is 65.57.241.194 (our mail server
name = sneezy.xerocom.net, however our router at the data center replies
vacant.compbiz.net. According to DNSReport.com, the reverse DNS passes. Does
anyone know if our set-up for this customer should be changed in anyway to
avoid these types of issues?



Thanks.

We see this happening frequently on very small lists. On a 1,400 user
mailing last week, 272 out of 280 Yahoo addresses bounced. We tried the next
day with the same results. According to their site, the resources
temporarily unavailable message is a 421, yet these are all returned with
a
451 code. This does make it difficult to pinpoint the problem, even though
we all know the problem is Yahoo. Put them right up there with AOL in terms

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Deleting emails based solely on Sniffer?

2005-04-14 Thread Don Schreiner
If you delete, you should delete based on achieving a minimum weight
accumulated. Sniffer on occasion may detect something as a false positive.
For example, it may misinterpret a legitimate e-mail as Spam with an
attachment based on conversion of the attachment to characters and a series
triggering something in Sniffer rules. I have seen this on occasion. In our
scenario, we hold on a certain weight range for review, and higher weight
range we auto-delete. We also will hold if failing Sniffer alone and no
other tests. HTH's

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Deleting emails based solely on Sniffer?

Can someone please explain to me why, if an email is flagged as spam by 
Sniffer, I shouldn't just delete it outright?  Are there instances where 
Sniffer is wrong?  Or is this the way you all use it already?

Reason I ask is that I have Sniffer setup with a weight of 10...and I hold 
messages with a weight of 10-14.  This morning I got a Nigerian-type scam 
that sniffer flagged, but it only scored a total weight of 5.  I'll have to 
check through my global.cfg when I get back from my 9am meeting, but 
something added a weight of -5 somewhere, meaning the email got 
through.  If I had deleted all Sniffer-found spam outright, this would not 
have happened.

Thoughts?

I am currently thinking about using a filter file to filter out some
unwanted messages.  Does anyone have some sample filter files that I could
use as a starting point?  I sure would appreciate some help getting
started
on this.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Reverse DNS and 554 Denied

2005-03-22 Thread Don Schreiner
Thanks for reply. I am still unsure what to do. The IP ending .196 is our 
IIS server and with the news. Web site. All domains on server are virtual 
and use host headers.  The vacant.compbiz.net is also used and set-up by our 
data center router. I thought the issue might have been via our Mail server 
ending .197 and our office IP I saw being insrted in the headers.

Hi, Don-

news.holisticmoms.org reports its IP address as 65.57.241.196

65.57.241.196 reports its name as vacant.compbiz.net.

You should have your provider set up a reverse lookup (pointer) record for
65.57.241.196 that points to news.holisticmoms.org instead of
vacant.compbiz.net

 While the AOL filter is fixed, I am now getting 554 Denied on some servers
 (see below). I am also getting unsolicited bulk mail undeliverable.

 I am using Group Mail in our office on dedicated IP authenticating SMTP to
 their virtual domain on our IMail server. Do I need to make an additional
 DNS entry of our office IP for their domain and what would I do?

 Again, the e-mail we are sending is here at

[Declude.JunkMail] Exclude BABEXT Notify for COM

2005-03-21 Thread Don Schreiner
I am getting a lot of postmaster rejects from bad addresses after turning on
BANEXT for COM attachments. I would like to exclude notifications on my
BANnotify.EML file. Can I do this by inserting SKIPIFBANEXTNAMEHAS COM at
the top of EML file? I am just guessing based on feature to use
SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS VIRUS_NAME.

I am still sitting on 1.82 waiting until comfortable with upgrade. I have
looked for the Declude Manuals on the site but see no reference other than
the install manual? I got to tell you guys the Declude site is a real pain
in the rear finding the manuals. I logged on to my account which is no use.
It does not have either of my 2 licenses listed. Nor does it have any links
to the manual. I even downloaded the most recent release version and I see
no readme.txt or manual there either. 

Ohh well... any assistance on the BANEXT COM and excluding the notify for
same on EML file would be most appreciated. Thanks.

-Don

There seems to be a bug in all versions where a bogus COM file is still 
bounced as a banned extension (unlike other 'bogus' types that are 
detected).

The workaround is to add SKIPIFEXT COM to the top of your 
bannotify.eml, however this will stop all bounces for COM files 
regardless of whether or not they are found to be 'bogus'.

[Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with AOL Filtering Bulk Mail for a Client

2005-03-21 Thread Don Schreiner
We sent a bulk mailing this morning for a client to 532 addresses. We use
Group Mail and authenticate from our office dedicated IP to our IMAIL server
via the clients account virtual domain. However, the e-mail was rejected to
any AOL address stating that URLs are improperly formatted. We have verified
all formatting of the URL's. Below is what we get back from AOL. 

Body of message generated response: 
554-:  (HVU:NR) http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554hvunr.html   
554 TRANSACTION FAILED 

Below is the URL of the actual e-mail/file itself we sent. The only thing I
can think of is they do not like the sub-domain we are using
news.holisticmoms.org which is what we directed for the plain text folks.
The actual e-mail itself can be viewed at
http://news.holisticmoms.org/index_email.htm.

Also, perhaps they do not like our dedicated office IP number even though we
are sending via our IMail server and authenticated via their virtual domain
account.

Does anyone have any clues about this or the errors of my ways? Thanks.

Darin,

The entire problem here is the page is dynamically generated via CF and
database and the correct page will not come up any other way, only the home
page of the site. This code has been in use about 6 years this way and would
be a major deal to change all. Found an AOL test subject and going to try
Johns suggestion on ending with /. Let you know what happens.

Below is the URL of the actual e-mail/file itself we sent. The only thing I
can think of is they do not like the sub-domain we are using
news.holisticmoms.org which is what we directed for the plain text folks.
The actual e-mail itself can be viewed at
http://news.holisticmoms.org/index_email.htm.

Also, perhaps they do not like our dedicated office IP number even though we
are sending via our IMail server and authenticated via their virtual domain
account.

Does anyone have any clues about this or the errors of my ways? Thanks.

What Don is doing is something thats been around for quite a while,
and not just in ColdFusion.  In CF its commonly called a FakeURL and
the intent of it is to make a url search engine safe by removing the
?'s and 's and replacing them with slashes.

Its been around for years.  I've never heard of anything like what AOL
is doing.  If they're serious about blacklisting this sort of thing
then it would break zillions of web sites, or more accurately any

I am using Group Mail in our office on dedicated IP authenticating SMTP to

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] ETA for SPAMHEADERS glitch

Just to let everyone know, we have identified the issue with the 
SPAMHEADERS test.  As most people realized, most E-mails sent with a date 
involving a year after 2004 were failing the SPAMHEADERS test.

For those that are interested in the details, if the SPAMHEADERS code 
matches the bitmask 0x4800, it means that an invalid year was detected 
for the SPAMHEADERS test.  Normally, a code such as 0x4802 would be 
seen, but others such as 0xC0001802 could also be seen.  And I feel that it 
is only fair for me to point out that this glitch was in code that I wrote 
(several years ago, actually).

We expect to have a v1.82 ready by tomorrow morning that takes care of this 
issue.

Part of the reason for the delay (aside from it first being reported on a 
holiday during a weekend) was that the fix involves changing old source 
code, which is something that has never been done with Declude before.  In 
the past, when issues such as this were detected, a change would be made to 
the latest code (v2.0b in this case).  However, management made the 
decision that it would be in the best interest for everyone to make the 
change to the 1.81 as well, which requires a more complicated procedure for 
implementing the change.

We are up-to-date with our support agreements way into 2005 and I am
awaiting a fix. I am not sure I understand the talk here about forced
license upgrade unless a customer support agreement has expired? I also
agree it would have been nice to have a warning announcement about the Spam
Header test being broken officially from Declude, more timely, and along
with advice what to do in the interim. This is not the same Declude
operation to me as in years past!

I think Jerry has this right.  Both our Declude and IMail support agreements
are currently lapsed.  We were planning on renewing both in early 2005 when
Ipswitch had their big fiasco over discontinuing IMail as a stand-alone
program.  So we plan on dropping IMail and we postponed renewing the Declude
support contract.  I'm sure that if we switch to SmarterMail that we'll
renew the Declude contract, but that could be months out.  In the meanwhile,
we were happy with our current version of Declude until this bug popped up.
Since this is a major bug, I consider Declude responsible.  I'll be
interested to see what they do.

Actually, I could think of one compromise solution: release an update/fixed
version, require a support contract for the download, but offer (for a
limited time) a substantial discount on the support contract.  Or, if you
don't like that, then offer a short-term support contract (three months for
one quarter of the usual price).  I really am a big fan of Declude; I just
don't like being forced into an upgrade.

 I don't think that's fair for a bug like this.  Declude has never been
 presented as being a time sensitive licensed product.

 I know some of my old installs are still probably using older versions
 without other issues.  I've made my successors aware of this and it's up
 to them now.

 There are a lot of folks out there that will be looking for an iMail
 replacement, and may consider Smartermail/Declude, but won't if they feel
 CPHZ is not doing right. CPHZ should release a 1.82 or a 1.8101 and make
 it available for all licensed users.  They would then get a phone home
 version out to more users, and generate good will instead of ill will.

 I'm surprised the conspiracy theorists haven't chimed in already that this
 is just a way to force an upgrade.  I don't believe that, but some will be
 thinking it.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] 2005 SpamHeaders Glitch?

2005-01-03 Thread Don Schreiner
It did affect us throwing weight higher on emails that would not have
otherwise failed the Spam Header Filter. We hold on a relatively low weight
of 13 compared to other configs I have seen posted with weights of 100, 200,
etc. The bottom line is if I did not stroll in here on New Years and catch
the posts about the bug, there would have been a lot more of my customer
e-mails not getting through due to this. It was not that big a deal for us,
and yes I took action and commented out, and now more Spam possibly getting
through not reaching same weight we would hold or delete upon. So now I have
to possibly adjust another test I guess to make up for it, until the fix? I
am monitoring and hoping Sniffer will fill the gap if any.

If I had not seen the posts, would the affect for us and our clients have
been detrimental? Not really because most of my customers away for holidays
too and we are not a huge firm with huge commercial clients. But... if I did
have a huge commercial client base - the point of sharing the info and a
little advise as a result does seem very prudent. It's not the product, it
is communication to me the customer with better warning like if this bug
affects you, do the following until we get it fixed. I guess I am making a
mountain out of a mole hill spoiled with great support and communication in
the past. But remember this is a primary reason I have always went out of
my way to praise Declude too!

1. An acknowledgement on the list from someone that they knew about the
problem - it WAS a holiday and I think people should have lives - but just
a
hey we know within 24 hours would've been nice.

Yes, that would have been nice.  It did take a bit more than 24 hours for 
an official response on the list.

2. A simple e-mail note to all customers ASAP stating The spamheaders test
has a bug causing it to catch and add weight to every e-mail sent in 2005.
It is suggested that you comment it out or reduce (or remove) its weight to
avoid false positives.  We are working on a fix and will post it to the
website as soon as possible

The main reason this wasn't done was because it wasn't clear that this was 
going to be as big an issue for our customers as it turned out to be.  The 
thought was that since this is normally a relatively minor test, anyone 
that it does affect adversely would just comment out the test.

From what I read in the IMail converter wizard docs, SM keeps all data in an

Every SmarterMail server has a domainList.xml file that tells
SmarterMail what domains it controls and where the root directory to each
domain can be found. This file is found in the Service directory in the
SmarterMail installation directory. By default this is found at c:\program
files\smartertools\smartermail\service\domainList.xml.

...and...

The conversion wizard will not convert the following:

Explanation of Service Agreements

1. Service Agreements have always been Per Server, that is to say that
if
you own JunkMail on Two Servers then you should have paid two service
agreements. In the past this would have cost you $295 * 2 - $590. Today
it
will be $132 * 2 = $264. A significant saving.

2. The rules on upgrades have always been that an upgrade between
product
levels e.g. Lite to Standard, does NOT include any extension in Service
Agreement.

Both these rules have been set by Scott years ago.

Sounds like some good changes.

How does upgrading one or more products affect service agreements?  For 
example, if we have JM and AV standard, and upgrade one to Pro, what
service

agreement would we end up with?

I believe in the old model, upgrading one would effectively result in a
year

support for both, but I may be incorrect.

This is a preview of an email being shortly released by Declude and
being 
sent to all customers.



_



We recently promised you information about our plans as and when it
became 
available. Here are two pieces of news:



A Beta release of Declude 2.0 will be available on or around December
16th 
that will include new functionality and also support for an additional 
windows based mail server as an affordable alternative to IMail. This
opens 
up the options for a reasonably priced, fully functional gateway.



In order to provide more equitable pricing on Service Agreements we will

introduce a new mechanism which will be available immediately. There
will be

server/product based support agreements rather than a blanket cost which

penalizes the smaller user. Please visit our Service Agreements page to
see 
more details.



On a less positive note we have been monitoring downloads and
activations of

Declude software and have discovered that there are a significant number
of 
non licensed copies being used. These include customers downloading the 
latest release without a valid Service Agreement and others who have 
installed multiple copies of unlicensed software. We encourage all
customers

who are participating in these activities to regularize their legal
position

by December 31st, 2004. If you have any questions as to the validity of
your

installation please email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call us at (866)

product
levels e.g. Lite to Standard, does NOT include any extension in Service
Agreement.

Both these rules have been set by Scott years ago.

We

for 
Declude Standard AV/JM at another server/location. Does the $264 JM/AV

Sounds like some good changes.

How does upgrading one or more products affect service agreements?  For 
example, if we have JM and AV standard, and upgrade one to Pro, what
service

agreement would we end up with?

I believe in the old model, upgrading one would effectively result in a
year

support for both, but I may be incorrect.

This is a preview of an email being shortly released by Declude and
being 
sent to all customers.



_



We recently promised you information about our plans as and when it
became 
available. Here are two pieces of news:



A Beta release of Declude 2.0 will be available on or around December
16th 
that will include new functionality and also support for an additional 
windows based mail server as an affordable alternative to IMail. This
opens 
up the options for a reasonably priced, fully functional gateway.



In order to provide more equitable pricing on Service Agreements we will

introduce a new mechanism which will be available immediately. There
will be

server/product based support agreements rather than a blanket cost which

penalizes the smaller user. Please visit our Service Agreements page to
see 
more details.



On a less positive note we have been monitoring downloads and
activations of

Declude software and have discovered that there are a significant number
of 
non licensed copies being used. These include customers downloading the 
latest release without a valid Service Agreement and others who have 
installed multiple copies of unlicensed software. We encourage all
customers

who are participating in these activities to regularize their legal
position

by December 31st, 2004. If you have any questions as to the validity of
your

installation please email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call us at (866) 
332-5833 between 8.00 am and 5 pm Eastern Time, Monday thru Friday.

I seem to recall that the license code is based on the fqdn of the mail
server. Wouldn't that mean that an individual license would be required
for
each server it is installed on in order to function?

That is correct.  The Declude software is licensed per-server, so if you

have multiple servers, you need multiple copies of Declude (just as you 
would need multiple copies of Windows and IMail).  Even if the hostnames

are the same, multiple licenses are necessary.

I also think that the updates covered by the service agreement are for
all
products anyway since there is only one codebase for all products but
individual config file for each product. That would mean that  if you
had
just JM, the updates also includes the code for AV and HJ as well.

Correct.  The activation codes determine which products are being run;
the 
declude.exe file contains the code for all of them, so upgrading one 
upgrades them all.

[Declude.JunkMail] Blocking Dictionary Attacks

2004-11-23 Thread Don Schreiner
Are there any new strategies for blocking dictionary attacks with Declude? 
Our log files are growing and mostly due to the following stacking up it 
seems a zillion times over...

ERR MAIL.DOMAIN.NET invalid user

We have used BlackIce for years and helps a lot for those that try X number 
SMTP fails in X seconds, but does not handle all these invalid user 
attempts. I searched archives and found good thread back in March this year 
How do they do it? and Scott replied a Declude solution may be possibly 
forthcoming. We only handle about 15k messages a day and small shop. Len's 
IMgate or another Postfix gateway solution I know would be best - but not 
affordable for us right now installing and managing a separate Linux box. It 
is difficult for me to keep up-to-date with daily posts, so wondering if any 
new strategies I might have missed.  Thanks!

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Blocking Dictionary Attacks

2004-11-23 Thread Don Schreiner
Thanks for reply. One thing I found this morning on IMail list recent post 
was BlackIce settings whereas will auto-block IP for 3 failed non-existent 
user attempts within 30 seconds.  The BlackIce documentation is poor on this 
subject and never figured it out myself over the years we have been using, 
but an IMail poster posted good instructions from a fellow who wrote the 
manual on Blackice apparently. Anyhoo... I set-up this morning and have been 
monitoring. It is working well so far and at least I am only seeing only 3 
log entries now in Imail logs on non-existent users vs. hundreds per IP. I 
am still very concerned that I may end up blocking legitimate IP's via 
zombies and going to watch closely for awhile. The other trade off is 
BlackIce may be working harder now and seeing 4-6% on CPU, but think this 
was typical anyway. BlackIce also does a decent job on other things like 
infected Zip signatures and attached exe's etc. I feel comfortable with it 
as another security layer. For example on our SQL server, we use it to block 
the hundreds probing our port 1433 daily. We handle light email volume in 
comparison to others here and I am sure if someone out there floods us hard, 
the IMail box and BlackIce would not hold up. But on limited volume and 
budget this may be the ticket for us now. I know the gateway is the best 
way to go. Thanks for the feedback - most appreciated and always learning 
here.

A gateway is the only solution I know of for distributed dictionary attacks.
Since the attacks are coming from all over the place, there's no IP to
block.

All the gateway does is move the brunt of the attack off of the primary mail
server to the gateway server.  The gateway server should then become your
primary MX record, replacing your existing server, and the real primary
should be locked down to only receive SMTP traffic from your gateway.  That
way attackers who cache your MX records won't be able to continue to hit it.

They certainly could have made it more noticeable, but

From the Release Notes:

The DOS scanner is now no longer installed on NT/2000/XP/2003.
If version 3.16 is installed as an upgrade then the previous DOS
version is removed.  The DOS scanner is not suitable for use on
the NTFS file system, now more popular as the result of increased
use of Windows XP.  The Command-Line Scanner (fpcmd.exe) should be
used instead of the DOS scanner.

Holding off on SmarterMail here too and again need SQL DB with email account

I am just as upset as others about IMail recent policies and been using 
since version 4.0. Today I saw a post you can renew unlimted version SA for 
$310 through a reseller. For some reason over the years never thought to 
price out with a reseller. I want a SA with whatever email server we go 
forward with. Whether it be short or long term. I feel at that reseller 
price we can handle for awhile longer until something else comes along we 
are comfortable (being ODBC/Declude/Sniffer/Good Web Mail). Seems to me with 
the talent at CH could handle with proper funding - but again probably a 
huge task to undertake full blown MTA with comparable IMail

[Declude.JunkMail] Client TOS Notifications from AOL

2004-10-06 Thread Don Schreiner
Declude Folks,

I need some help figuring out why we are receiving e-mails from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject Line: Client TOS Notification, and the Sent To address
is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am not sure if these are coming back to
me in our abuse or postmaster account? There is nothing in the body of the
e-mail, only an attachment of e-mail apparently getting rejected. Anyone
else seeing these? The client we host forwards his e-mail automatically to
his AOL account. For example, below is the header of an e-mail that was
attached whereas a spam e-amail appears to have been sent to our client
(lamphier.com) hosted on our IMail server (sneezy.xerocom.net -
vacant.spiderhost.com is router) which was forwarded to his AOL account.
Unfortunately it did not weight enough under our Declude config, nor Sniffer
to get held as Spam. Any ideas what AOL is doing or what I should do to
eliminate these most appreciated. Worried about getting on the wrong side of
AOL. Thanks.

 Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Client TOS Notifications from AOL

 Declude Folks,

 I need some help figuring out why we are receiving e-mails from
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject Line: Client TOS Notification, and the Sent To
address
 is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am not sure if these are coming back
to
 me in our abuse or postmaster account? There is nothing in the body of the
 e-mail, only an attachment of e-mail apparently getting rejected. Anyone
 else seeing these? The client we host forwards his e-mail automatically to
 his AOL account. For example, below is the header of an e-mail that was
 attached whereas a spam e-amail appears to have been sent to our client
 (lamphier.com) hosted on our IMail server (sneezy.xerocom.net -
 vacant.spiderhost.com is router) which was forwarded to his AOL account.
 Unfortunately it did not weight enough under our Declude config, nor
Sniffer
 to get held as Spam. Any ideas what AOL is doing or what I should do to
 eliminate these most appreciated. Worried about getting on the wrong side
of
 AOL. Thanks.

2004-10-06 Thread Don Schreiner
Good question and I am curious too. We actually have a no-forwarding
e-mail policy and not just to AOL. But... sometimes the customer
dictates what they want or will go elsewhere and we then allow on a
case-by-case basis. If we allowed for every customer I bet we would be
blacklisted already. I am still fearful AOL may blacklist on what little
traffic we do have getting forwarded. Thanks.

On this note, what are other's policy on forwarding client's addresses
to AOL accounts?  We signed up with this feedback loop program quite
some time and realized that 95% of the reported spam's where coming
from forwarded messages to AOL accounts.  In the event of forwarded
messages, our IMail box takes the blame instead of the original MTA.

I have considered creating a policy of not allowing mail forwarding to
AOL accounts for fear of getting blacklisted from AOL.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF Text Record Help Needed


 I need help understanding the correct SPF text record for a customer
domain
 . I have read the archives, been to the pobox site and read and still not
 absolutely certain. We allow some customers to SMTP relay from their
 dedicated IP and also from their e-mail Contact Form via their web site -
we
 also host on a separate server and within the same network Workgroup. Our
 Workgroup of servers communicate to each other via private IP addresses.
 Thanks in advance to anyone who has the time.  -Don

 Our set-up is IMail (8.12) and Declude (1.79). Customer domain is
configured
 as a virtual host on the IMail server.

 a) Sample customer dedicated IP is (64.x.x.123) and allowed to SMTP relay
 from their office via IMail.
 b) Sample IMail server Public Host IP is (imail.hosting.com 209.x.x.567)
 c) Sample Web server Private IP is (webA 192.x.x.10) where their Contact
 Form e-mail orginates.

 *Note the pobox wixard finds 2 MX records for this sample customers
domain,
 the first
 being as on IMail their MX (mail.customerdomain.com) and the second being
 our colo router (vacant.colodomain.com).

 The POBOX Wizard Questions and My Question below...

 --
 1) Let's set up SPF records for mail.customerdomain.com.

 mail.customerdomain.com's IP address is 209.x.x.567. Does that server send
 mail from mail.customerdomain.com?

 yes no

 My Question:

 Do I answer yes or no? The domain is configured as (customerdomain.com)
and
 alias of (mail.customerdomain.com) as a virtual host in Imail. They send
 email from their office dedicated IP of (64.x.x.123) and via WebMail for
the
 IMail server public and virtual domain IP (209.x.x.567), and also
 originating from the Web server IP (webA 192.x.x.10) to the Imail server.

 --
 2) This wizard found 2 names for mail.customerdomain.com's MX servers. MX
 servers receive mail for mail.customerdomain.com. Do they also send mail
 from mail.customerdomain.com?

 yes no

 My Question:

 Do I answer yes or no? In addition to the above info for the first
question,
 our DNS only has one primary MX record entered for the
(customerdomain.com)
 (209.x.x.567), but apparently it is also picking up our colo router name
too
 (vacant.colodomain.com) with the same IP number  (209.x.x.567).

 --
 3) Do you want to just approve any host whose name ends in
 mail.customerdomain.com?

 yes no

 My Question:

 Do I answer yes or no? I feel I should answer No, again not sure and
 concerned with this question
 as mail typically identified from this domain as customerdomain.com and
not
 mail.customerdomain.com which is
 the alias configured in Imail.

 --
 4) Do any other servers send mail from mail.customerdomain.com?

 My Questions:

 Here they provide 3 fields to list other servers with regular hostnames,
MX
 servers, and IP addresses.

 A) For the Host names field, do I also list the Web server private Web
 server name (web)? This is where some e-mail is originating from the
 customers Web site contact form. Do I also list our IMail server hostname
 (imail.hosting.com) since the mail.customerdomain.com is virtual? Do I
enter
 the colo router hostname too (vacant.colodomain.com) being identified by
the
 wizard with our IMail host IP?

 B) For the MX servers field, I am assuming to enter only the customer MX
 (mail.customerdomain.com) or should I also enter the IMail server primary
 hostname (imail.hosting.com)?

 C) For the IP addresses field, do I enter the IP's for the IMail server
 which is the same for the customers virtual domain? Should I also enter
the
 Web server private IP (192.x.x.10) to cover their contact form on the Web
 server?

 --
 5) Could mail from mail.customerdomain.com originate through servers
 belonging to some other domain?
 If you send mail through your ISP's servers, name the ISP here.

 My Question:

 This is not the case for this customer who only sends from a dedicated IP
at
 their office. Wondering however what you would enter if we also allowed
SMTP
 auth and they had several employees in the field with different IPS
 connects?

 --
 6) Do the above lines describe all the hosts that send mail from
 mail.customerdomain.com?

 yes no

 My Questions:

 For this customer I would assume answering yes

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Fw: New Multiple Threat Lookup Database test for Declude JunkMail

2004-07-10 Thread Don Schreiner
Scott et al,

Standing by the sidelines here trying to keep up with this interesting
thread and actually have some extra time to chime in. I am very concerned
about installing this upgrade with the false positives being reported, dlls
and uninstall bug reported, etc. Will Declude be addressing these issues and
providing more information, what the install specifically does, suggested
configurations concerning false postitives, warnings, ?  I do believe this
can be a valuable feature of Declude and like the concept.

We do something similar via BlackIce firewall we have used for years as an
extra layer of security. Over the last year we modifying the issue list file
relating to virus signatures blocking IP's for 24 hours when detected. When
the 24 hour block expires and upon the next connect from the IP with no
virus signature detected the IP is no longer blocked. You can also manually
unblock if a customer requests after verifying their work station is clean
of virus'. Doing so has created a little extra end user support for us from
time-to-time. However, customers love us afterwards because we helped them
identify their workstation was infected by a virus unbeknownst to them.
Something similar to this automation with Declude would seem helpful.
Thanks.

Are these zombie machines also not trying to spread the same virus allowing

 Forgive me, but I don't really see the rationale that because an IP

 out SPAM.
 
 Can someone enlighten me on this ?

 Most reports are that more than 50% of all spam is now coming from
 zombies, which typically are home computers that were infected by a
virus
 that installs a trojan horse that the spammer has control over.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Ignoring Negative Weights

2003-06-16 Thread Don Schreiner
Thanks for reply and yes this is how I use weights, but what I failed to mention is 
that I end up with a negative value often (i.e. -7, -1, etc.) depending on certain 
mail and it gets held. You are saying it should not get held. OK I must have a hold on 
a certain test that is failing even though ends up with negative weight too. For 
example I hold all that fail sniffer and are below weight of 14. Think I figured it 
out. Thanks!

If I end up with a negative wait, how do I configure to ignore and pass
e-mail along.

You don't need to do anything.

The way the weighting system works, you decide what weight ranges to use to 
detect spam.  For example, some people have it set up to HOLD E-mail based 
on the WEIGHT10 test (a weight of 10 or higher), and DELETE E-mail that 
fails the WEIGHT20 test (with a weight of 20 or higher).

In this case, if you have a test that uses negative weights, the total 
weight of the E-mail will be reduced.  For example, the weight of the 
E-mail may end up being -6.  In this case, the E-mail would not fail the 
WEIGHT10 or WEIGHT20 tests.

Is the following correct?

Global.cfg

NEGWEIGHT   weightrange x   x   0   -100

Default.JunkMail

NEGWEIGHT   IGNORE

There's no need to do this, as the IGNORE action does nothing.

Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Dictionary Attacks



It seems this morning that we have several dictionary attacks happening

on one of Imail servers. Is there an easy to stop the person doing 
this? I have looked through the log files and cannot easily spot the 
person(s) doing this.

Is there software that will prevent people from performing Dictionary 
Attacks in the future?

The POP3 and Delcude processes are using like 50-09% of the CPU.

Let me know if there is anything I can do...

Are you sure that it is a dictionary attack?  If the POP3 process has 
higher usage than normal, then E-mails are being sent to your users
(which 
would mean that it either isn't a dictionary attack, or a hybrid attack 
where they send spam as part of the dictionary attack).

You might want to check the archives of the IMail Forum for ideas on how
to 
stop a dictionary attack.  Some tricks are using a nobody alias (which
I 
believe you are), or using a product like BlackIce Server to stop it.

Unfortunately, Declude can't stop these, because it doesn't have access
to 
the TCP/IP connection (which is where it would need to be stopped).

Title: Message



This 
is great for sharing and thank you.Is anyoneinterested in 
sharingtheir global.cfgand white/black list files and strategies 
that are working well for them. I feel overwhelmed these days keeping up the 
spam battle as mail server admin and all the other daily chores I am 
responsible. We handle a lot of religious and family oriented sites and cannot 
slack on our Spam control.

A few 
days ago, I finally bit the bullet and subscribed to sortmonster's sniffer. 
Hoping the$300/yr will decrease my Spam review time spent each day. I 
thought I was doing a pretty good job of eliminating spam - until I put a hold 
for reviewon all caught bythe sniffer filter.Basically 
Idiscovered thatwe are onlystopping about1/2 of the Spam 
hitting our server.Some confirmed Spam I reviewed failed no other tests 
other than sniffer. Now I am trying to figure outhow to revise my 
weighting so I do not have so much to review in the hold folder.We have 
weight of 20 for hold and 30 for delete. We run about 18 filters all weighted. I 
want more deletes and less to review in the hold folder daily! Sniffer is 
picking up a lot of false positives too and I know I need to get reporting with 
them and taking advantage of their custom config files for my license. I use 
Tom's updated list ongoing for our blacklist from file and it is a big 
help.

Is 
anyone willing to share their global.cfg who areusing sniffer, weighting,

Hi;

In case you are 
interested, we have created a simple Access database that contains all of our 
entries in for our fromfile and filter files.

Since it is all in 
the database we thought we can simply replicate it with the web site and provide 
it to all to use or consider.

You may want to 
visit:

http://www.ClickandPledge.com/Support/Mail

The 
categories are all separated since we have a different file for each filter 
type.

Just 
for the records: We hold on weight 20 so all weights are based on this 
weight.

FreeeMail list - should not be used as a blacklist but 
a weight list. We add 5 to this list. This list does not contain 
Hotmail.com or Yahoo.com. It has other (Yahoo.com.tw) 
domains.

Hope it 
helps...

Hi; [sorry for the long note]

These files are changing everyday...

Sure..  I hope the list does not mind.  I have asked so we put a link on
a location on our site and keep these files up to date.  Similar to what
Tom has done which has helped us quite a lot.

Here is the legend to the files that are zipped.

Please note:  We hold on weight of 20.  Some of these could be
considered aggressive but believe me we may catch a positive 1 time a
week.

* Filter_Body.txt [filter]:  This file is the words that we search for
in the body.
* Filter_BodyURL.txt [filter]:  The URL's found in the body.
* Filter_Header.txt [filter]: At times we have noticed that there are
some servers that consistently show up in the connections that show up
in our headers.  Ex.  Webhostingtotalk.com.  So we added this to the
header.  We have our HOPHIGH set to 3.

* Filter_MailFrom.txt [filter]:  This is the mailfrom filter and certain
characteristics are listed. If mailfrom email has these words in them.

* Filter_Subject.txt [filter]:  The subject words.  Does subject include
these.

* JMFreeEmails.txt [fromfile]:   This file is a list of all free email
services we have found.  This does not include hotmail.com or Yahoo.com
but includes everything else.  This list receives a weight of 5
regardless of what email.

We have given BASE64 test a weight of 15.  So if an email comes from a
free email and is BASE64 is automatically held.

* JMMailinglist.txt[fromfile]: This is the mailing lists that people
subscribe to, e.g. CNN, etc.  If these lists are caught then we add them
to the list. This list receives -100 weight (negative 100).

* JMBlacklistWgt.txt  [fromfile]: comes from
http://www.imagefxonline.net/apps/delog/fromfile.txt [any listing here
is weight 20 - automatic hold]

* JMBlacklist.txt [fromfile]:  Our blacklist- We have a database and we
run a unique on the list and export it to text.

* JMPorn.txt [fromfile]:   Recently separated from blacklist- emails
from
this list are deleted automatically.

* JMSpammers.txt [fromfile]:   Recently separated from blacklist- emails
from this list are automatically deleted.

* JMWatchList.txt [fromfile]:  If we find an address that we are not
sure we add them to the database.  If additional occurances happen they
will be moved to blacklist.

If interested in knowing the syntax then it is the following:

FILTER-HEADER   filter  d:\IMail\Declude\filter_header.txt

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] An optional web interface for Declude JunkMail?

2002-12-18 Thread Don Schreiner
Scott,

In response to additional info and questions please see below. When
could we anticipate an ETA?

Snippet Is this something that others would find useful?  It
definitely would be 
easier for us to implement.

***Regarding end user spam control via e-mail subscribe method. This
would be a nice option, but I would prefer Web interface for our
customers and ability to modify that page with instructions, graphics,
support info, etc. I know a lot of pros, cons, opinions here from
others, but I am customer driven. How about the option of both methods?

Snippet First, if we do this, it would initially be for the per-user
settings, with 
two options:  either a Basic configuration that would let people
choose 
between several options (such as No spam control, Conservative spam 
control, Aggressive spam control), or an Advanced configuration
that 
would let people fine-tune their settings (such as using specific spam 
tests, and whitelisting/blacklisting).  Later, we would probably add a
way 
to access held E-mail, and possibly per-domain and global settings.

***This would be great for us and our customers!

Snippet What we would most likely not do is use a database..., use
IIS, or any special technologies (such as dot NET, ASP, CF, etc.)...

***This also would be good for us even though we are a CF/SQL shop. We
run IIS anyway on our mail servers to redirect older mail clients.

Scott,

I vote yes. Our users would love it! If you or another does not create
it - we would eventually work on something for our customers based on
repeat requests. It's either I pay my guys, another, or you.

Several months ago another Decluder here shared files they developed of
end user filter tools working with Declude. It was simple for the end
user and well thought out. If I remember correctly there were limits or
you had to go the long way around because of some JM per user/per domain
issues. I was going to try and work on it some more and use, and then
share back, but other more pressing dev came up for us and not had a
chance to revisit. I will look through my files and try and get you a
name. He is a user here and it fitted the bill nicely. Hopefully he will
see my post and reply.

It was basically select your Spam settings High / Low (predefined
filters) or configure yourself from a list. What would you write it in?
Keep us informed of your plans. Sounds great and I really like the idea
of it being developed by your team to work directly with Declude JM!
Even something very simple to turn on/off certain filters or groups of
filters (i.e. high/low) to start would be nice. I would want to be able
to define a default when setting up new accounts.

A lot of our customers seem to want a web interface to Declude JunkMail,

mostly so that customers can turn their spam settings on or off.

We haven't come up with something in the past, because it is very 
complicated without a hook into web messaging, and it doesn't look like 
Ipswitch is planning to add an interface to web messaging any time soon.

However, we are at the point where we are considering a web interface.
If

fairly 
high.  It would also have some drawbacks, being separate from web 
messaging.  For example, it would require installing a separate service,

using a different port than 80 or 8383 for web access (which may cause 
firewall problems), and having users enter their username/password a
second 
time (if they are already using web messaging).

Is this something that is important enough that it would be worthwhile?

I agree with what you are saying and especially no need for GUI for
Declude administrator. Not sure I read Scott's original post correctly?
I was thinking he meant end user on/off/select/remove filters tool.
Filters set-up, defined, and made available for selection by the Declude
administrator. 

Simple non-admin level type on/off Spam control tools to end users
(simplicity similar to Hotmail and Yahoo) would be well received by my
customers anyway. It would actually help me feel better to put the
on/off part in the end users hands in response to the previous poster
(Joe) who described being uneasy filtering Spam.

Scott,

I've spent thousands of hours (as many of us have) perfecting a
universally applicable configuration (as diverse as my client base
allows).  

On the server side, when there's a flaw in the system revealed by an FP,
changing the entire system means all other clients benefit from the
change.  Creating an individual exception (like a whiltelist entry) is a
last resort used only when fixing the system would weaken it to much.
If users are making their own changes and not reporting problems, no one
else is benefiting.

On the client side, every time users get ahold of anti spam systems,
they invariably over use them, marking as spam even a newsletter they no
longer want.  A user customizable system then, would need to be more
focused than domain specific, it would need to be user specific.  In my
store  forward configuration, that would mean tracking which aliases
belong to which user, lest they make a change on account A1 and not have
it affect A2.  My itself, this one issue may take more time than this
solutions aims to solve.

Whatever you do, don't make an admin GUI for Declude.  Nothing ruins an
infinitely customizable (and useful) program faster than a limiting
interface.  Others may be facing a gauntlet of user requests that this
would remedy, but IMHO, technical improvements that give more tools to
stop spam are more useful and should have greater priority.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Fromfile Status 11/12/02- Image`fx

2002-11-15 Thread Don Schreiner
Errr I second that response as I spend my daily morning hour
cleaning Spam from the servers. Tom has a great service with his list
and while an occasional address mistakenly listed - it is incredible how
the addresses are near the same as the addresses we add to our list when
running Read ID and it checks for duplicates.

Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Fromfile Status 11/12/02- Image`fx
Importance: High

 Well I just wanted to see what the reason was. I assumed since 
 all the entries have a catalogue number that the reason was 
 recorded. In addition I do believe outpost does have removal
 instructions at the bottom of the emails.

Our List:

Our list is a private list, however, we do share it with the 
Declude community.  Image`fx is not in the business to stop
spam, we are a local ISP/Developer not SpamCop.  We don't have
the time and/or resources to become one.  The idea behind the
list was suppose to be for all of us to share or contribute to.
Not many people have contributed to our list, but that's ok, 
we don't need the extra work.  We have also indicated to those
who use the list to use it at their own risk and to consider
using it with a weight value.


IDs:

The ID's were added to work with our program ReadID to help
identify the address inside Declude's log file without using
a separate database.  The ID's contain a date and unique
number as a description.  This description only works with
Declude's fromfile not Imail's kill list.  This unique ID
will indicate to ReadID the last time of usage so it can
clean out addresses that spammers no longer use after X
number of days.

Removal:

While this may be true for most services I don't feel that
we should have to do this, we did not sign up for it, so
why the heck should we sign out from it.  Why would I or
you want to tell them that we actually exist?  Why should
I have to tell them I don't want their stupid little news
letters or pornographic garbage?  I did not ask for it in 
the first place, not only that, it's MY server that they
are using to advertise from.  Well, guess what, they can
kiss my royal spam a$$.  They did not pay for my system.
I did, my blood, my sweat, my hard earned money.  What
right do they have?  A loop whole the law?  Either way
I don't care.  

ok I will calm down now

The problem with those so called removal options is that
you never know what their intentions actually are.  I
did try this method and guess what, I got even MORE SPAM.
So a word to the wise, don't believe everything you see.

It's just as bad a an ANTI SPAM company sending us spam
to stop their spam, what the heck do they think they 
sent us in the first place?

Thanks so far on the answers. OK, but it did not fail the HELOBOGUS test
in the sample e-mail I posted the header is the point I was making.
Well at least Declude did not tell me that it failed it - like I have
seen on others we are catching. I think my HELOBOGUS is set-up correctly
because on other e-mails I do see it failing. However, this one like
many others Declude does not indicate it failed HELOBOGUS.

Does that make sense?

I have got to run to a meeting - but will be back soon. Again thanks.

I am seeing a lot of these (see header below) whereas the From address
is the same as the To address of one of our domains (is this spoofing
the domain?). I am catching them (barely in this case) based on weight
of other tests, but not sure I understand why these are not failing the
HELO BOGUS test too.

The HELOBOGUS test looks for HELO/EHLO data (where the remote
mailserver 
identifies itself).  It is required to identify itself with a valid host
name.

I am seeing the HELO BOGUS fail on some of the
other Spam e-mails, however not always on those like the sample below.
I
must not be fully understanding the HELO BOGUS test. Is it because the
Received domain and the IP match up - and only the From address is
being
forged?

No.  It just checks to see if the host name is valid.

  When the From Address is being forged like this, what is my best
defense? I would prefer to just have these auto-deleted when this type
of forging occurs, as it seems to me - these would 100% of the time
always be Spam. Or is that incorrect thinking?

The problem is that there are some people out there (in most cases, it's

The Boss) who always Cc: themselves.  And some people send themselves
test 
messages.  So you need to be careful if you look for a To: and From:
that 
match.

Got to love this right off their site... 

In order to stay within federal laws so that you are bulk emailing and

1.) Use a Valid Return Address
2.) Offer and Honor a means of removal from your mailings.
3.) Make no attempts to forge or remove the headers from your emails.

My question is, where are they being hosted and what ISP/internet

selling all kinds of obvious spammer tools without violating somebody's
AUP.

most intriguing -- a $150/month subscription that sends by email a list

Wondering why folks haven't surreptiously subscribed to this and then
posted the listed systems back into the DNSRBL lists (although who wants

Tom et al,

I really like this approach on the rules.ima. Also been trying to spec
out a way to give the end user some control over some simple Spam
management. It would be great if a host administrator (and even the end
user) could determine which Declude Spam tests we make available from a
list they would like to use, as well as the ability to add/edit/delete
their own Declude Kill list addresses.  However, requires unique
global.cfg for each which is not currently possible and sure there are a
lot of issues involving same to to this. But it sure would be nice!

The same obstacle I have not quite overcome as of yet. We use a size
restriction to keep mailbox's from filling up the entire mail server HD
(10MB per user). And to ensure their SPAM box does not stop incoming
mail if
the user is not erasing it we have this little disclaimer...

Note: All mailbox's have a 10 megabyte limit, and due to restrictions of
our
mail server we cannot automatically purge SPAM after a certain amount of
time, to ensure your SPAM folder does not fill up your mailbox, if your
SPAM
folder ever reaches 3 megabytes, it will automatically be completely
erased.

And to enforce it, I run a nightly search on the entire mail dir
D:\mail\*\spam.mbx (recursive serch)
Where size  3084kb

And erase any spam.mbx's that I find
I'm working on a more creative solution.

Ok, I will stop posting on this thread after this.

For a working-example on how I have achieved this with imail and cold
fusion
I have setup a test account.

Login = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Pass  = declude

Manager: http://users.bsc.net/
WebMail: http://mail.bsc.net/

From the manager you can *import* an Outlook Express address book,
Or build your own, you can adjust the filter levels, and block
individual
users.

These features just manage the rules.ima, which you can watch by going
to
the web-mail Interface and clicking Change Processing Rules

Anyone on this list is welcome to upload dummy address book's and play
with
this account I just wanted to demonstrate to others how I have
creatively
achieved this with IMAIL 6 / Cold Fusion.

* note: I built this interface before I became aware of the power of
WEIGHT,
changing the filter-definitions to work with weights instead of
individual
headers is on my to-do list, so if anyone actually does look at this
please
don't flame me on how I could improve that. I am already aware :)

 I'm not sure either, however, Spam is like a virus and it takes away
from
 other legitimate businesses that want to tell you about their
services
 and/or
 sales.  I have consulted with allot of my clients, most of them just
hit
 delete
 when they don't know where the e-mail came from.  So what's the point
of
 these guys sending this mail if no one reads it?  That's why I say
it's
 like
 a virus that spread under are skins and threatens our servers for no
good
 reason.
 
 The point is that a number of people DO read this stuff and want SPAM
sent
 to them as much as some people DO want to receive telemarketing phone
 calls
 which most of us don't answer or hang up on.  These are just lonely
people
 that feel needed when someone contacts them.
 
 But the difference is who pays the cost! In telemarketing and junk
mail,
 the
 sender pays the cost.  In SPAM, the receiver (or more precisely, the
 receiver's mail host) pays the cost.  If business' are forced to
upgrade
 their systems to handle 20% more mail and 20% of their mail is
received,
 then discarded as SPAM, that company paid for an upgrade they didn't
need
 to
 handle their business.
 
 Its like the junk mailers sending stuff COD that you can't refuse, or
the
 telemarketer calling collect and you can't refuse!

As you are no doubt aware the news was broken today that actions taken

This strikes me as a dereliction of your server administrator's

Rather than prosecuting a good citizen providing a beneficent service to

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] ORBZ - More info

2002-03-21 Thread Don Schreiner

I am posting the following reply here to an active thread in the regular
IMail Discussion list (Scott I hope you don't mind), because for
whatever reason my posts there do not get distributed?? (I have finally
asked IPSwitch to investigate because I cannot post nor do I ever
receive original posts there).

Start of my post in response to Joe the Lawyer

This is what gets me on this entire blocking issue and the Joe the
Lawyer positions...

We support and maintain several online family-oriented and religious
oriented portal communities and their companion e-mail services.  We
have all the appropriate legal Usage Agreements, Policies, etc. They
basically state if something goes wrong it is not our fault, usage of
services is AS-IS, and if you don't like, then don't use our services,
or if we don't like you - we will terminate your usage with us
exercising our right to do so.  So I am pretty sure our lawyers have us
well covered regarding a law suit that we block SPAM?

But what really gets to me from the Joe the Lawyer guys, is that a
significant number of the Spam's we block are from PORN outfits targeted
to our innocent and very often young community members. I say the hell
to the free speech Spammer guys that are wanting to send my customers,
clients, and community members PORN solicitations. I would rather defend
myself to the Judge trying to protect the proliferation of PORN to
children, than defend myself from blocking somebody's supposed right to
send unsolicited e-mail.

Ahh... my 2 cents anyway. I just feel no one has the right to send me
crap I did not ask for, especially PORN solicitations into my children's
e-mail box. Perhaps I am wrong legally as it relates to free rights and
e-mail solicitations, but the PORN solicitation alone is enough to keep
me fighting for my rights to block SPAM.

Anyone know of a good legal resource on this issue and where I can
reference for comparison some Usage Agreements and online Policies that
have held up against these morons out there? I would like to have our
lawyer's double check our usage agreements and policies on Spam
filtering. Thanks.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] ORBZ - More info

2002-03-21 Thread Don Schreiner

 Another way to look at things would be to check out the court cases
where
 Corporations have sued their employees for misuse of e-mail.

Do you know where there are any of these cases that I can review online?


If not, thanks anyway. I will try and free up some time to perform some
research and will share my findings if I come across anything. I hate
all this legal stuff and would rather devote the time to new
technologies, working projects, etc., but legalities an unnecessary evil
in my position. 

This Joe the Lawyer guy has got my blood boiling a little bit along
with the Battle Creek ORBZ action. I don't know who Joe the Lawyer is
and give him the benefit of doubt having our best intentions in mind
from a legal standpoint. Where is his reply supplying us legal
references to the legalities of filtering or blocking Junk Mail? He
apparently does not agree with filtering e-mail for Spam. Does he agree
that it is right for un-solicited Porn to be received by children or
anyone for that matter? If he does agree, then how is this different
from un-solicited e-mail for Time-Share travel, Life Insurance, and the
next get rich quick scam?

As a business owner, I am all about Free Enterprise.  But I do not
hi-jack other folks servers or conduct dictionary attacks to e-mail
servers that I do not own to solicit my goods/services. I think we all
agree if an e-mail address is published on a public site it is fair
game, otherwise leave me alone unless I ask.

I know this may perhaps be hedging OT, but what happened to ORBZ this
week could happen to any of using a Kill file, Processing Rules, or
Declude as Joe the Lawyer points out. Even if we feel he and Battle
Creek are wrong, we can be forced in fear to shut down just like ORBZ
did and defending lawsuits that are frivolous and without foundation.
Can Ian Gulliver at ORBZ afford to defend himself alone? Can any of us
alone?  

I guess the whole thing just pisses me off. I know that morally it is
wrong for individuals and entities to send most of the unsolicited and
trickery Spam that is being blocked by reputable firms.  However,
legally I am not so sure until such time I can reference a federal or
international ruling/law. I feel I need something to back me up and in
our usage agreement and defend our customer policies.

Sorry to be so verbose, but it just ticks me off what I am seeing
happening and those who are responsible sending Spam and then actually
believing they should have the given right to do so.

Don S.

  Ahh... my 2 cents anyway. I just feel no one has the right to send
me
  crap I did not ask for, especially PORN solicitations into my
children's
  e-mail box. Perhaps I am wrong legally as it relates to free rights

  e-mail solicitations, but the PORN solicitation alone is enough to
keep
  me fighting for my rights to block SPAM.
 
 Another way to look at things would be to check out the court cases

 In any case if it is your system you can do whatever you want with it.
 If the customers don't like it, too bad!  You own it, you paid for it,
 and you maintain it.  It's that simple!
 
 What does this mean?  If you write an e-mail to a friend your BOSS,
the
 or ISP (owner of the equipment) has the right to view it.  Just like
the
 FBI and CIA.  This is why we stress the use of PGP!
 
 Anyway, just my 2 cents!

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Delog update

2002-02-21 Thread Don Schreiner

Hey Tom,

Good job! I set CPU to med3 on the same machine I referenced previous
and now down from 99% to average 45% CPU usage. Process took about 3
minutes vs. 1-2 minutes on 1349 message count. For the larger volume
guys (I know we are small fry), if you inserted the total time to
process in the report, this might help them determine what setting to
use in sacrifice of time vs. CPU setting.

On another mail server we manage with a lot more horsepower (I think we
have 800mhz on that machine?), full throttle it only used about 45% CPU.
Set to med3 it dropped to 15% CPU and again only took a few minutes to
process a 1727 message count.

Will let you know how the 11:59 scheduler option goes. Of course the
best option would be the ability to specify the time. But 11:59pm is
probably good for admins similar to us. Hey - how about turning on the
mailer option for us demo guys. Guess I wouldn't need a license then ;0)

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Delog update

2002-02-18 Thread Don Schreiner

Love having the statistics on the failed Spam tests. Great idea and very
helpful!

Couple of comments:

1. Definitely CPU intensive. Had our server (600mhz Intel) pegged 99%
while running. Our server usually idles around 2-3%. My typical log file
scanned contains 1300+ messages each, and my declude log setting is at
medium on those scanned. Took about 1.0 - 1.5 minutes to complete the
scan. So the CPU was not pegged for very long anyway.

2. Feature to combine report stats weekly / monthly would be very useful
vs. combining all declude logs and then running a report based on the
amount of resources required and length of time.

3.  I like the interactive feature to pick and choose a log.  I guess an
option to pick multiple logs vs. a single log file would be useful too,
but again probably not for the faint hearted server.

4. I know you state to use the Windows task scheduler. Integrated would
be good for those not familiar with Task Scheduler.

Great work and look forward to using!

 Could I solve the multi-day problem by concatenating the logs

I don't see any reason why you couldn't.
Let me know how it works out.


Here is a sample batch file to combine the Declude log files into one:
--
@echo off
C:
CD\IMAIL\SPOOL
copy DEC*.LOG TOTAL.LOG
EXIT
--

Run Delog on the total log file, it may take a while.
What I can do is add a feature to the configuration file
to tell Delog to look for a specific weekly log file.
This would override the default daily log.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Problems with SpamReview Software

2002-02-08 Thread Don Schreiner

I am not sure that is related to the issue I was having? Your issue
might be as simple as setting the file size in the Settings to read
first 5000 bytes when previewing. Otherwise very large e-mails take a
while to process before displaying for preview. This is included in the
latest release of SPAM review which can be downloaded from his site.  I
got my issue worked out that was related to a bug with the fromfile test
in declude.  Scott is already working on a fix.

My FREEMAIL test doesn't seem to work.

I want to add 5 points to any emails form designated Free Email
systems
(because they shouldn't show up as broken mail clients, black-holed,
etc.
and I want to bounce them if they do).

I have C:\IMail\Declude\FreeMail.lst which contains one line:
@hotmail.com

So far so good.

In my Global.cfg file I have:
FREEMAILfromfileC:\IMail\Declude\freemail.lst   x
x
  5   0

Note that this should be:

 FREEMAILfromfileC:\IMail\Declude\freemail.lst
x
  5   0

Otherwise, you're giving it a weight of x (which is invalid), and
giving
ALL E-mail from non-Hotmail accounts a weight of 5.

To find out exactly what is happening, you can use the debug mode.  To
use
the debug mode, you can change the LOGLEVEL LOW line in
\IMail\Declude\global.cfg to LOGLEVEL DEBUG.  Then, when an E-mail has
arrived from a Hotmail account, you can switch back to LOGLEVEL LOW
(the
debug mode adds huge amounts of information to the log file).  You can
then
E-mail me the \IMail\Declude\dec.log file (as an attachment), and I
can
take a look at it to see what is happening.

Actually, the next most useful feature for me would
be to take the real sender and add-to-kill.lst function.
Then if you consistently see an abuser, you just add his
address to Imails kill file... This also ultimately reduces
server load as well, as mail is simply rejected rather than
processed...

This line gives me the 'real' sender and I'd love to kill.lst
some of these if they are clearly doing only spamming...:

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Spam Review and Kill File

2002-01-30 Thread Don Schreiner


Tom,


I would want 2 separate button options.


1. Button to the delete  Kill list.
2. Button to the Delete folder only.


Not 100% for sure but a warning in the documentation about having the
%MAILFROM% variable in your header as Scott was stating in a previous
post. Does this address the issue of identifying the real from address
that we would want to add to the Kill list? 


I like the idea of the Kill list vs. Declude Blacklist if it saves on
the CPU.  However, I would want to be more certain it was a real from
address and not a bogus one.  Like the earlier post... most of those
from addresses are bogus.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Spam Review and Kill File


Let's talk about the IMail kill.lst file for just a minute.


Some of you suggested that you wanted to add from email addresses to
the
kill.lst file from SpamReview.  I like this idea and am working on it.


My question is...


How do you want it to work?


Do you want a button to do it?


Do you want an option in Settings for adding it whenever you click on
Move
To Deleted?


Other?


Tom
