Yes, you are correct. It is rblsmtpd that is doing the filtering. One of my goals with this mail server set up (primarily pf, qmail, spamassassin, maildrop, courier) was to minimize processing, since my last set up got totally bogged down handling my, and my client's email, frequently running with a load of 8 or more with several spam per second. A real drag. This set up runs at a much lower load, and seems to do a better job filtering spam. Since you're already using PF, why not use OpenBSD spamd (not spamassassin) as well? You don't need rblsmtpd then, and OpenBSD spamd operates together with PF. Maybe rblsmtpd does as well, I don't know - I never tried it. Also in combination with relaydb to create your own blacklists it can be pretty interesting. Check out http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/ for additional info. Anyway, to go a little more on the background about blacklists; we were troubled by a lot of "false positive" entries in the blacklists (we use uatraps and nixspam, and spamassassin checks on blacklists like spamhaus since they only allow DNS queries if you don't want to pay). We had big ISPs blacklisted, and seeing at the amount of mailservers they have you don't want to check all of that by hand. And I'm sure somebody else noticed Gmail's awkward way of handling outgoing e-mail. They apparently have one global mail queue or something and try another mail server (of the hundereds they have) when the delivery fails once - a horrible situation for greylisting. So what we did is create a Perl script that checks every blacklisted entry for a PTR record and tried to give an SMTP HELO command. We filter the PTR record on several keywords (like dsl, dynamic, cable, ip address, stuff like that). If a valid PTR record or a valid SMTP HELO reply has been recieved we remove that entry automatically from the blacklist. So you still blacklist the zillions of DSL connection and filter out the big ISPs or other customers. Naturally you will filter some spammers out using this method, but we still have SpamAssassin as a second layer doing a fine job.(And FYI: it picks a random IP address and has a 1 second delay on everything it checks - we don't want to cause a fuss at ISPs with a lot of blacklisted entries). There's more stuff in this script but the point of this e-mail is not a lecture of that :P Anyway, ever since we put this script into place we got zero complains about blacklists, while still effectively trapping spammers into OpenBSD spamd and keeping them busy. Quite a story - I hope someone might find this info useful one way or another.

In general, people should check a DNSBL's blocking criteria and reputation before using it.

The OP was using spamassassin, which can score a mail as more likely to be spam based on an RBL. This makes even an untrustworthy RBL useful while still protecting yourself against its mistakes. For example, I use spamhaus blacklists in postfix myself, but I let messages come in from SORBS-blacklisted sites. Then the messages will get a point or two (of 4 or 5 needed to be marked as spam) as a result of the SORBS blacklist. At least, I think I've got the list names correct; I haven't touched my configurations for either postfix or spamassassin in quite a while. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Did you try to send a message to spamd to check the marking? (clue use spamc to send a message to spamd) 2) I know nothing about claws, but running a spam detector at the mail client is very in efficient: every messages need to be downloaded anyway to be tested, it woul dbe much better to run spam detector at the MTA/MDA level, so your mailbox contains only ham and your mail client (claws) only sees ham. 3) in claws did you try to look at the full message headers (some time called the source of the message): some "clever" (so they thought) mail client hide most of the headers, so you woul dnot see SpamAssassin markup.

I thought Claws could communicate with spamd on its own without any need to a MTA (corrections?). -- Bahman Movaqar Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -Benjamin Franklin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Claws+spamd: No spam is detected
HI you need to tell the MTA to pass email through spamassassin/clamav somehow. Depending on what you're MTA is (sendmail/exim/postfix etc) its different. try "sendmail spamassassin" for example in google.. -- martin On Nov 11, 2007 4:13 PM, Bahman M. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have Claws-Mail and spamd installed (from ports) and although I have > been using this combination -I've been been manually marking all spams > as 'spam'- for more than 2 months, still _no_ spam message is detected. > > I've followed the instructions on Claws/spamd wiki.

Claws+spamd: No spam is detected
Hi all, I have Claws-Mail and spamd installed (from ports) and although I have been using this combination -I've been been manually marking all spams as 'spam'- for more than 2 months, still _no_ spam message is detected. I've followed the instructions on Claws/spamd wiki. I've got the followings in /etc/rc.conf: spamd_enable="YES" spamd_flags="-C /usr/local/etc/spamd -i 127.0.0.1 -p 783 -u spamd -d -l" Also Claws configuration parameters exactly match the spamd_flags above. System information: % uname -a FreeBSD attila 6.2-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p7 #2: Fri Sep 7 14:23:40 IRST 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HELIUM i386 % spamd -V SpamAssassin Server version 3.2.3 running on Perl 5.8.8 with SSL support (IO::Socket::SSL 1.08) with zlib support (Compress::Zlib 2.006) % claws-mail --version Claws Mail version 3.0.0 What am I doing wrong? What should I do to enable Claws/spamd detect spam? I'd appreciate any hint/help. TIA, -- Bahman Movaqar Whenever there are great virtues, it's a sure sign something's wrong. -Bertolt Brecht ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
