RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Our filter fromfiles.
Kami, I wanted to see if it would be possible to look at your lists, however, I noticed it required a password. Thank you again. -Keith -Original Message- From: Kami Razvan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tue 1/21/2003 6:46 PM To: JunkMail List Cc: Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Our filter fromfiles. 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... Regards, Kami winmail.dat
RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Our filter fromfiles.
Hi.. Sorry Keith - this is what happened. Despite our specific robot tags for not having those pages indexed- it appears that the pages were indexed and guess what will happen and what words the company are being indexed for? OUCH! - this is what happens when you try to do good! A SPAM keyword should not be indexed under your company- not good for PR. Marcus had suggested that the posting of those keywords and the URL's are also not going to be good if SPAM'ers find out what is being done. So the best approach is for this to be protected. This is what we did to fix the problem. The URL for the pages are NOT going to be changed. So once you visit the page simply cut and paste the URL in an auto retrieval program. That is what we have done. We are using WGET to retrieve these pages as well as Tom's blacklist once a day at midnight. So our people will simply update the database and synchronize it with the web server while the mail server synchs it at midnight. We have added three additional filters that are also giving good results. 1: Blacklist emails found in body 2: Blacklist entries found in header (naturally if the blacklist is used in the email it will be deleted, but at times spammers use hotmail in from field but their return address is the blacklist entry). 3: Freeemails found in body. These are all given 0 points in the filter since we add a uniform weight to these filters in the body. FILTER-BODY-BLACKLISTfilter d:\IMail\Declude\IMail_Filter_BlacklistinBody.txt x 20 0 FILTER-HEADER-BLACKLIST filter d:\IMail\Declude\IMail_Filter_BlacklistinHeader.txt x 20 0 FILTER-BODY-FREEEMAILfilter d:\IMail\Declude\IMail_Filter_FreeeMailinBody.txt x 5 0 Hope this helps.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Our filter fromfiles.
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, and their effective black and white lists that is workingout well for them? You can e-mail me off list [EMAIL PROTECTED].
