Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter Backscatter
Ruben, One thing you can do is create a from filter that looks for the null sender and than do a copyfile action on it if it did not match the backscatter filter. This way you will be able to see which messages did not get filtered to improve the back scatter filter for your system. Darrell Mon Mariola - Rubén wrote: Using DLAnalizer I could see that, the filter backscatter, detects only 66% of messages incorrect. Of the remaining 33%, 10% are good messages, especially automatic responses of Outlook. Can anyone explain how I can improve the filter backscatter? The biggest problem is that I can not see the messages are not filtered, since that no longer exist in my server, to analyze the content. Some clients continue receiving hundreds of messages daily. Can I make some other process to avoid these messages? I use SmarterMail 4.x A greeting. Ruben Marti. --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter for Bounce messages
Don, Depending on your situation you could simply filter the null sender in a from file filter. I would not suggest this as a permanent solution as NDR's are helpful in most cases. About two weeks ago I had a user get hammered with probably 500-1000 NDR's per second from a spam campaign. I ended up having to create a from filter to delete the bounces until the storm cleared up. Took a couple days, but now we are back to accepting the null sender. Now if the issue is localized to one or two users can you create a filter that takes that into account and than deletes the null sender.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter question
Hi Michael. To answer your questions... If my BlackFilter.txt file is composed of lines like: SUBJECT STOPALLTESTS CONTAINS China Business Directory BODY STOPALLTESTS CONTAINS Evil Spammer will the test return 500 points on a match and HOLD the email without further processing of filters or other tests. Yes, this is correct. I understand the filters are processed in the order they occur in the $default$junkmail so this will be the first Filter listed but there are FROMFILE's listed earlier in the $default$junkmail. In this scenario will I need a SKIPIFWEIGHT line in any subsequent filters to suppress their running? Actually, filters are not processed in the order that they occur in the $default$.junkmail file, so no, you do not need to add a SKIPIFWEIGHT directive to your filters. The STOPALLTESTS directive in your BLACKFILTER will accomplish what you need.

This is the entry in the GLOBAL.CFG CONTENT filter D:\IMail\Declude\CONTENTfilter.txt x 0 0 Means - the filter itself has a weight of 0 - all weights would be assigned IN the filter Here CONTENTfilter.txt: SKIPIFWEIGHT 20 MAXWEIGHT 9 TESTSFAILED 7 CONTAINS SNIFFER TESTSFAILED 1 CONTAINS SNIFFER-SCAMS TESTSFAILED 1 CONTAINS SNIFFER-PORN TESTSFAILED 2 CONTAINS SNIFFER-MALWARE TESTSFAILED 1 CONTAINS SNIFFER-OBFUSC TESTSFAILED -2 CONTAINS SNIFFER-IP TESTSFAILED 4 CONTAINS INV-URIBL-WT1 TESTSFAILED 5 CONTAINS INV-URIBL-WT2 TESTSFAILED 6 CONTAINS INV-URIBL-WT3 TESTSFAILED 7 CONTAINS INV-URIBL-WT4 TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS SPAMCOP TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS NJABLSOURCES TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS AHBLSOURCES TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS AHBLPSSL TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS SORBS-SPAM TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS SENDERDB-BLOCK TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS SBL TESTSFAILED 2 CONTAINS SNIFFER-IP As far as I can tell, the Filter works fine as long as there is only SNIFFER and/or URIBL and will return the proper weights around 7 through 9.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter 'END' statement in 4.3.14 flushes WEIGHT?
Wow - really? When was that changed? I know that the filter test itself did not show as failed, but the WEIGHT always carried over! Take a look at Scott's reply when this feature was implemented and the weight-result of the END was being discussed: http://www.mail-archive.com/declude.junkmail@declude.com/msg14009.html [1] the E-mail will stop processing, [2] the test will *not* fail (this may change -- I'm not sure why it was set up that way), and [3] the weight will be exactly what it should have been when END was reached. And it's only logical. If you WANTED a filter to return 0, then you would simply place the 'END' lines at the BEGINNING of the Filter! If you place the 'END' line behind other lines that accumulated weight, then it clearly is the intention that the weights be COUNTED and that only any FURTHER weights not be added!

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter 'END' statement in 4.3.14 flushes WEIGHT?
Andy, The post says it's actually set up right now so that: [1] the E-mail will stop processing, [2] the test will *not* fail (this may change -- I'm not sure why it was set up that way), and [3] the weight will be exactly what it should have been when END was reached. Which means that Scott may have changed it, checking the release notes for 1.77 JM ADD filter test type now can have END in place of the weight (any match will 'turn off' test) We certainly have not changed the code.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter 'END' statement in 4.3.14 flushes WEIGHT?
Darn - I got burned. Some interims release in 2004 changed the END behavior - where it stopped carrying over the weight: http://www.mail-archive.com/declude.junkmail@declude.com/msg20850.html This behavior makes NO sense at all. But now that I've upgraded Imail and Declude there's no way going back. For now I'll have to work around it and change my filters. Yes, if the 'END' now behaves like a 'CANCEL', then we need a 'STOP' directive to restore the previous capability of using filters to simulate and/or conditions in a somewhat efficient manner. This is a huge gotcha!

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter 'END' statement in 4.3.14 flushes WEIGHT?
The purpose of the END function was so that you could make some portion of a filter conditional. It was not meant to be a start of filter directive, it was meant to be usable anywhere in the filter... In fact, in the 2003 post Scott was musing that he might change the fact that it's not counting the test as triggered - but in September 2004 users apparently found out that instead it was made worse by resetting the weight as well.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter 'END' statement in 4.3.14 flushes WEIGHT?
Hi John, Was never changed. Please read the URL I posted: http://www.mail-archive.com/declude.junkmail@declude.com/msg14009.html As you can tell, ORIGINALLY it did return the weight. He was thinking of it even FAILING the test (if there was a weight). What you should have been using is MAXWEIGHT at the top, or STOPATFIRSTHIT. Kindly, please read the sample I had posted (bottom of this message). Your reply doesn't address the issue of trying to make some sections of a test conditional. Example, the goal is to return either 1 or 2 or 3 if test1 or test2 occur with test3 - and to only add test4 and test5, if test3 is not true.

That link only shows that Scott was thinking of changing it from 0 weight to a fail which would have added the weight. That explains his point 3 in that what ever the weight of the message was before the test will remain. Remember, to add weight, the test must FAIL.

Why the requirement of single filter? Clarity? It's easier for me to follow a logic, if it's enclosed in a SINGLE source document (= filter). If the logical is spread over multiple source documents, I have to first scour the Global.CFG to see which filters are active, then inspect each one to see if by chance any one of them might have any effect.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter 'END' statement in 4.3.14 flushes WEIGHT?
Any filter that I do not have as active is moved to \declude\filters\notused from \declude\filtes so that my filters folder only contains filters that I am currently using. In your example, you are putting the IF statement after the THEN statement. I am not a programmer, but IF (the test of what you want to be quantified) always comes before THEN (the result you want to occur depending upon whether the test of the quantification failed or passed, meaning did it meat the criteria which is the defined IF statement), so the first part of your example does not make any sense. You only want weight added if test3 failed, so you have to quantify that FIRST and then say what occurs by adding weight. So, you have to have to filters since both sections rely upon testing IF test3 has failed or not. What is the logic of the second part anyways, to add weight for test4 and test5 IF test1 and test2 failed?

It does work, and while extra functionality would ease such things, I have always been required to work within the framework and as a result I use many sets of combo filters to do exactly what you were trying to do here in one file. It is good that END results in no hit for the filter. If this changed, it would screw up my system in a big way, and probably result in me blocking virtually all legitimate E-mail. There is a definite need for a function that aborts a filter entirely, and this is what Scott provided with END. A STOP function would not be a bad idea, and to create ABORT in the place of END (same thing, different name), and depricating END as Andrew suggested in 2004 would make sense as far as confusion goes and also to add extra functionality, but that is in fact a feature request.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter 'END' statement in 4.3.14 flushes WEIGHT?
Hi John: What is the logic of the second part anyways, to add weight for test4 and test5 IF test1 and test2 failed? If you have several blacklists of the same family (e.g., multiple open-relay filters, or multiple open-proxy filters) I like to group them together. I give a big weight to the entire group (the filter itself) and then may add an increment for blacklists with few false positives (each contains clause). Simiarly with Sniffer or invURIBL. There is some overlap between those two, and there is a potential overlap between Sniffer-IP and blacklists of recent spam sources (e.g., SpamCop, MXRate-Block). I have a filter that processes my various Sniffer types and invURIBL returns. At some point, I'd like to stop and first look if certain other Blacklist Tests had fired. If so, I'm done. If not, I want to add a little extra for Sniffer-IP.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter 'END' statement in 4.3.14 flushes WEIGHT?
OK, I understand that better but you will always be better off grouping each intent into a different combo filter. Then, you can even have a combo filter dependent upon another combo filter by why of order of list and including the name of the combo filter as an IF statement in the next one. Combo filters need to be viewed as a different type of test rather than a normal filter test. If you write down in groups want you want to do, it will be easy to then create them. Say if you want to add 12 if 4 or more rbl tests failed. You would create a combo filter like this: MINWEIGHTTOFAIL12 MAXWEIGHT12 TESTSFAILED 3CONTAINS rbl1 TESTSFAILED 3CONTAINS rbl2 TESTSFAILED 3CONTAINS rbl3 TESTSFAILED 3CONTAINS rbl4 TESTSFAILED 3CONTAINS rbl5 TESTSFAILED 3CONTAINS rbl6 TESTSFAILED 3CONTAINS rbl7 TESTSFAILED 3CONTAINS rbl8 That way, at least 4 have to hit to equal 12 before it will see this test as failing, but it will only add 12 and not more.

In $default$.junkmail add "WHITELISTFILE [location]\whitelist.txt" Then in the WHITELIST.TXT, put addresses, domains, etc. @mec.ms .sirsi.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] John C From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott FisherSent: Monday, January 23, 2006 11:29 AMTo: Declude.JunkMail@declude.comSubject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter Syntax If you wanted to whitelist you could go: MAILFROM WHITELIST IS [EMAIL PROTECTED] MAILFROM WHITELIST ENDSWITH @domain.com If you wanted to just add negative weight.

Currently, we have them directly in the global.cfg file but there is getting to be too many, so I am wanting to use a file to do the job and then assign a negative weight to it. I thought I had it but I can't seem to get the file to fire.

I would say that 90% of my subject tests use the operator CONTAINS. This is usually for the 5000 variations of drug names. Chuck Schick Warp 8, Inc.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter not triggering
I use this method in one of my external programs to look for a space. Working this way would mean no existing filters would need to be changed. Different characters could be used as a space substitute, which means no character would be locked out of being used in filters. I'd hate to see a chosen as a space character, then I couldn't filter for that quote. The filter file contains the lines: SPACECHAR ~ (this means in the filter replace all ~ with spaces). Can be set to any character you want. BODY 1 CONTAINS ~ABC (the ~ will be replaced with a space) It takes me 7 lines of vb code to get this working: Dim strspacechar As String = If UCase(strfilterarray(0)) = SPACECHAR Then strfilterarray is a breakout of my filter lines. strspacechar = Left(strfilterarray(1), 1) End If If strspacecharThen strmatch = Replace(strmatch, strspacechar, )strmatch is the filter line to match (~ABC) End If If I were more ambitious, I might also add code for SPACECHAR OFF that would reset the strspacechar back to - Original Message - From: David Barker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 12:26 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter not triggering Nick, I am not aware of any bugs with the CONTAINS filter statement. However there are some items on our wish list, currently CONTAINS searches for a string eg. ABC So this will trigger XXXABCXXX Currently there is not a way to use CONTAINS with SPACEABC as the config file does not see the space as in BODY 10 CONTAINS SPACEABC Because we allow for spaces between CONTAINS and the text.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter not triggering
I have reported to Declude a problem with the "CONTAINS" statement. Prior to 2.0.6 (or somewhere around there)it worked oncharacter match, but after an upgrade to Declude it only works on a word match. (In other words you could not longer match on a string of characters within a word.) This would affect your situation. I believe the fix is caught up in the wait for the newest version (the one they are testing now.)

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter not triggering
Kevin, Just a thought if you wanted to confirm this as a bug, maybe try a filter for this same message, but match a full word to see if it triggers. I did decode this segment and there is no additional encoding or other tricks that would cause a filter to not hit. IMO, knowing about bugs like this would be very helpful at times, especially considering the time that it would take each one of us that was affected by it to figure it out on our own. Maybe if Declude doesn't want to post this information on their site, we could take it upon ourselves to share such information with the list when it is discovered. This is for the most part how the list used to function in the old days, though most of us seemed to desire a page dedicated to the topic regardless.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter not triggering
This is one of the main problems with the "new" Declude - lack of communication! In the old days, Scott would monitor this list and respond to posts throughout the day. Now, we are lucky if they respond even bi-weekly. The last post from Declude was 7/15/05 - 10 days ago,. Prior to that, the last significant postwas on 6/29/05 - approx. 2 weeks before that. Why is it so difficult for them to post on a regular basis? It seem like such an easy thing to do that builds customer loyalty. On the other hand, lack of it breeds resentment. We all want Declude to succeed. If they do - we do. Declude, could you please work on this?

I have my own domain in the spamdomains test and then I have Whitelist Auth so almost anytime something appears to me from [EMAIL PROTECTED] if it isn't whitelisted because of authentication it adds quite a bit of weight.

I'm guilty of much worse, besides, I responded inappropriately. I seem to recall the ISBLANK option not working with SUBJECT. Could be wrong though, but a test of this would seem definitive. Make sure there are no tabs or spaces following ISBLANK, unlike other filters, this is just three columns. If it is confirmed not to work and you know VBScript, this could be done in a few lines of code and worked into Declude as an external test like so: 1) Split on double line break 2) Check first array position (using InStr) for CRLFSubject: CRLF 3) If a match is found, return an exit code (using WScript.Quit) of 10, otherwise an exit code of 0. See the HELOISREVDNS filter on my site for an example of a simple script and configuration that can be used in Declude as an external test. http://www.mailpure.com/software/decludefilters/beta/ Matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have pro and my filters work, yet ISBLANK, IS BLANK, IS, and IS , all pass mail with blank subjects through.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter for blank subject lines
Since a sizeable amount of blank subjects are spam and come from forged addresses, please don't bounce such messages. It's called backscatter, and it is a very large problem, typically amounting to 1% to 2% of my total mail volume. This is also common enough that you would also upset many customers. If you tweak your setup properly, you can tag blank subjects with a little weight and still not have issues with blocking legitimate E-mail while improving spam detection.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter for blank subject lines
I've actually found that ramming their head into the cubicle wall works better than a filing cabinet. They're rather resilient and don't take too much damage, nor are they so hard that they'll actually knock out the luser and make them forget why you were assaulting them. I've got the same situation at my office with the blank subject lines internally, I don't bother telling people what to do, I just find a way to enforce it through software. If/when you get this figured out I am very interested in seeing how it was pulled off. In the mean time I'll tinker around on my server and see if I can get it to work.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter for blank subject lines
I have instructed users that send me messages with no subject, they are filtered into a folder and I go through them in my free time. They all know I have no free time. I get messages with subjects now. A good computer/email usage policy can also enable you to terminate employees that do not follow it.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter for blank subject lines
No problem at all. I'm guilty of much worse, besides, I responded inappropriately. I seem to recall the ISBLANK option not working with SUBJECT. Could be wrong though, but a test of this would seem definitive. Make sure there are no tabs or spaces following ISBLANK, unlike other filters, this is just three columns. If it is confirmed not to work and you know VBScript, this could be done in a few lines of code and worked into Declude as an external test like so: 1) Split on double line break 2) Check first array position (using InStr) for CRLFSubject: CRLF 3) If a match is found, return an exit code (using WScript.Quit) of 10, otherwise an exit code of 0.

We've been calling it a 'combo' filter. You need to set up two filters, one that is non-scoring that pre-qualifies the ALLRECIPS, and the second that only runs if the first filter is tripped. In your first filter, do the following: ALLRECIPS 0 CONTAINS @domain1.com ALLRECIPS 0 CONTAINS @domain2.com Then in your second filter do this as your qualifier: TESTSFAILED END NOTCONTAINS NAME-OF-THE-ABOVE-FILTER Matt Mark E. Smith wrote: I have a filter that I've built for one of my customers that allows them to whitelist items JUST for their domain. The way that I do this is to add the following lines to their whitelist filter: ALLRECIPSEND NOTCONTAINS@domain1. ALLRECIPSEND NOTCONTAINS@domain2. Where domain1 is their first domain and domain2 is their second. What I've found out is that the filter isn't being processed unless the RECIPS line has both domains listed. Triggered ALLRECIPS NOTCONTAINS filter WHITELISTFILTERTFK on @domain2. [weight-0; (null)].

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter file maintenance suggestion
Well, that is specifically why I prefaced it Declude Junkmail not Declude... I have received my first messages that were rejected by vulnerabilities this month. A couple due to partial and a couple due to Outlook CR vulnerability. It's mighty tough to tell a user he didn't get the pictures because one of these vulnerabilities. Mail delivery without monitoring the hold/virus queues is my goal. I can see a real usefulness for some sort of vulnerability improvement. I'm pretty small volume, perhaps the ability to whitelist a couple of senders for vulnerabilities (but leave on virus checking) might work around for me. Turning off specific vulnerabilities could also work, although the smaller the hole the better. - Original Message - From: Matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 10:16 AM Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter file maintenance suggestion Scott Fisher wrote: On my personal Declude Junkmail wishlist, SURBL support is number one...

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter file maintenance suggestion
What number would turning off individual vulnerabilities in Declude Virus get on your list? FWIW, yesterday I thought up what may be a compromise (I haven't run it by the new management to see if it can be included in an upcoming release, but felt it would be worth mentioning). Instead of having options to let poor companies (like United Airlines, that can't send out safe E-mail) send potentially dangerous E-mail to your users, a feature could be created to allow held vulnerabilities to be delivered. So you could have a \IMail\Declude\united.eml file (that looks like the recip.eml file) with a line ONLYSENDIFSENDER ual.com and ONLYSENDIFVIRUSNAMEHAS Vulnerability, so that it will only be sent for vulnerabilities that are sent from ual.com addresses. The notification would explain how United Airlines sends out E-mails in a non-RFC-compliant way that prevents them from properly being scanned for viruses, and that if the recipient would like to retrieve the E-mail, they can by [perhaps sending an E-mail to a specific address, with the queue file name in the subject]. That way, it's a nuisance for the users (as it should be!), but they still will get their E-mail from United in a timely manner. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.

Works with Declude as an external filter, 2. reads the email and picks out the subject line, 3. reads a very short list of words from a text file, 4. looks for the words in the subject line, then 5. strips all of the non-alpha characters out of the subject line (including numbers and spaces), 6. looks for the words in the subject line AGAIN, 7. returns a DOS error number ONLY if a banned word appears AFTER stripping out the non-alpha characters, and 8. keeps a log file identifying each message that failed and why. It only leaves about 5 ways to spell viagra. The after but not before test avoids false positives. We weight it 20 on our 20 point scale, but we're not aggressive with our word list. You have to be careful with your word list because we strip the spaces, some words are contained in other words, etc. I guess you could change it up and check the first 250 characters of the message body or something, but it doesn't deal with html.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter File - Maximum Size?
I approach it this way with my external test. 1. I attempt to base64 decode the subject if it is encoded. 2. Test 1 = I substitute foreign letters (accented vowels and such) with their English counterpart. Then all non A-Z are removed. 3. Test 2 = Foreign substitute, then @ to A, 0 to O, 5 and $ to S, !,|,and 1 to I, \/ to v, 3 to E. ThThen all non A-Z are removed. 4. Test 3 = Foreign substitute, then @ to A, 0 to O, 5 and $ to S, !,|,and 1 to L, \/ to v, 3 to E. Then all non A-Z are removed. You can then test against a filter file containing the standard subject words. I have tests for ALTSUBJECTONLY which would fail test1 test2 or test3 if not in the original subject. So degree is ok but d*egree fails. That said, it really doesn't improve my mail detection. The items it catches are usually scoring high enough that the extra points aren't needed. It was mostly a visual basic challenge for me to see if I could do it. - Original Message - From: Darin Cox [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 2:33 PM Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter File - Maximum Size?

I use them with SpamAssassin. However, others here download the SURBL lists and use them in body filters with Declude JunkMail. I wouldn't do that though, since body filtering is so processor intensive and the SURBL lists are getting rather large. Hopefully Declude will build in SURBL support in a near-term further release, as they are a great spam fighting tool. In the mean time, you can always setup a Linux mail gateway and use SpamAssassin, or use the Win32 version of SpamAssassin with DJM (see Sandy Whiteman's e-mail signature).

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter File - Maximum Size?
We are currently debating putting a 300,000 line filter file into our production environment. This filter file would have many different variations of certain bad words, words we all see everyday in our spam hold files. This test would specifically be a BODY test. That would cause a very, very high load on the CPU. That's 300,000 times that the CPU will have to search through the body of the E-mail for various strings. If you already have the list, you could try it just to see what the CPU usage is like -- but I am guessing that it would be very high (although the dual 3GHz CPUs would have a better chance of handling it than most servers). -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter File - Maximum Size?
If you really want to block these type of spam, like Matt said, regex is really the way to go. You might want to look at either implementing spamassassin with Declude JunkMail (Sandy has posted links to the download and instructions - search the archives) or look at setting up a Linux/Postfix/SpamAssassin gateway.

Has anyone else put this large of a filter file into place? Any thoughts? Thanks, Aaron -- = MailPure custom filters for Declude JunkMail Pro. http://www.mailpure.com/software/ =
