RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Dictionary attacks --- anyone have any solutions.

2003-10-13 Thread R. Scott Perry

Yes. Soil-tech.com is a local domain that we host and Tony is a valid
user on that domain.  It almost appears that Imail is seeing his
OutlookExpress as a mail server, not a authenticated mail client.
Any other suggestions?
In this case, I would suggest using the debug mode to track the 
problem.  To use the debug mode, you can change the "LOGLEVEL LOW" line in 
\IMail\Declude\global.cfg to "LOGLEVEL DEBUG".  Then, have the user try 
sending another E-mail through (or you can send one using his return 
address), and then switch back to "LOGLEVEL LOW" (the debug mode adds huge 
amounts of information to the log file).  You can then send me the 
\IMail\spool\dec.log file (as an attachment, off the list, NOT sent 
from web messaging), and I can take a look at it to see why this is happening.

Is "soil-tech.com" a local domain?  If not, the sender needs to use a valid 
host name in the HELO/EHLO data that it sends.  "TONY" is not a valid 
Internet host name.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Dictionary attacks --- anyone have any solutions.

2003-10-10 Thread Kami Razvan
Hi Chuck:

We have done that and it works great for us.

We have designed a database that all spam data goes in there.  All filter
parameters are entered in a relational table.

We have a script that downloads various queries into text files and then
they are copied on a schedule in the IMail directory.

- Stop SMTP service
- Copy all files
- Start SMTP service

All people do is when they see a spam in the spam account they enter it in
the replicated database which then does everything automatically.

I am sure there is an easier way but with our system we can simply state a 7
month window for queries so all entries are not always entered.

Regards,
Kami

Thanks Scott:

The reason blocking IPs is not the answer is because I would have to spend
24 hours a day doing it.  Also Imail's control access list is just a list of
IPs.  It would be nice if the list was part of a database where you could
put dates and reasons for blacklisting IPs -

We are constantly getting hammered with dictionary attacks.  Does anyone
have any solutions?  Does the new version of Imail address this issue?
Whenever I check a lot of it comes from open proxies.
Blocking the IPs is not a solution.  Any ideas are appreciated.
Blocking the IPs is the only solution.  :)

Some people have reported that BlackIce Server can be set up to stop 
dictionary attacks (check the IMail and Declude JunkMail forum archives for 
"BlackIce", and you should be able to find more information).

IMail doesn't address this issue, nor can addons to IMail effectively do 
so, since Ipswtich doesn't document the file format used for their control 
access file.
