RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Dictionary attacks --- anyone have any solutions.
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. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Dictionary attacks --- anyone have any solutions.
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. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.

I use BlackIce server. Give me an idea as to what to look for and I will tell you if it is working. Fred - Original Message - From: R.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Dictionary attacks --- anyone have any solutions.
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 - Chuck Schick Warp 8, Inc. 303-421-5140 www.warp8.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of R.

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