My Contribution to Anti-Spam
I saw some recent postings about how people control spam. I thought I
would pass along my perl script that I use to help with this. Some
things are needed in order for this to work.
1. freebsd (although certainly easily modified for others)
2. perl
3. procmail
4. sendmail using anti-spam
5. root access
Procmail simply needs to use many of the filters that were presented on
this list, but the most powerful weapon is with sendmail. I use code
that I found from sendmail.org which rejects domains found in a text
file. This text file contains the domains that sendmail rejects during
my fetchmail retrievals. By default, it uses /etc/spamdomains.txt. I
currently have over 750 domains which have been added.
When you run this script it grabs the senders domain from your spam box
and adds these domains to your sendmail /etc/spamdomains.txt file. It
restarts sendmail too. You must restart sendmail in order to have the
new list activated. It also checks for safe domains which you can add.
Safe domains are domains which should never be added even if they are
found in your spam box. It will remove duplicates and sort the list as
well. Please use at your own discretion. Your spam box will also be
purged each time this is run. So do not put ANYTHING in this mail box
you want to save.
It's a very fast way to keep updating your system with domains you want
to reject. Adding users to block is also an option but is not part of this
script. I try not to add users since spam seems to never come from the
same person twice.
You could also run this script from cron once you feel comfortable
enough.

Re: Using mutt and pgp without asking for passphrase ?
Daniel -- ...and then Daniel Kollar said... % I'm setting the passphrase via the PGPPASS environment variable before starting % mutt. Why would you do that?

pgp-hook with GnuPG 1.0.4?
I have GnuPG 1.0.4 installed and have the standard gpgrc in the contrib samples for mutt in my .muttrc. Almost everything works fine. I have these two lines in my .muttrc: .mutt-gpgrc:set pgp_autosign=yes .mutt-gpgrc:set pgp_sign_as=D68F2C07 When I send the message, mutt automatically knows which key to sign with, and asks me for my passphrase. The problem is when sending messages. I use pgp-hook and send-hook to have mutt automatically encrypt for certain email addresses: pgp-hook [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12345678 send-hook [EMAIL PROTECTED] set pgp_autoencrypt=yes Without these lines, mutt presents me with my entire keyring to select from for encryption. When I add the two lines above to my muttrc file and try again, it presents _two_ keys instead of just one: the DSA signing and ElG encryption key for that user. I am providing the keyid in the pgp-hook command, which should identify only the encryption key for that user. Instead, it is acting like I had provided the email address, and selection all keys that match that address. -- "Restore your inalienable human rights.

It was only after I downloaded it and played with it for a while, that I realised that version 1.0.3 was very recent. I had got in right at the beginning of a new version. This new version incorporates RSA which I understand came out of copyright only in September. PGP 2.x also uses the IDEA algorithm which is patented in some countries (and therefore not included in GPG), so you will still need one plugin for GPG to handle 2.x-compatible PGP-messages. Thanks, Peter and all the others who have replied to my original message. However I remain confused. I realise that IDEA is missing from 1.0.4 and I would need it for pgp2 compatability. However, I am not sure I want pgp2 compatability. I may stick with GnuPG as is. However that raises my original question. gpg.rc uses gpg_2comp (I may have the name wrong) and this SEEMS to presume you are using the IDEA pluggin etc. So, does gpg.rc work for GnuPG out of the box or do you need another rc file? Or indeed does mutt only work with GnuPG if it is made compatable with pgp2. PGP and its mates still confuses me. There seems to be so much incompatability these days.

I can understand people that would prefer a low-powered Unless things have really changed lately, Pine's "GUI" config method isn't too different than editing .muttrc while section 6 of the manual is open in another window. Having a field next to the configuration option isn't _really_ any easier than typing the option/command followed by arguments (the stuff that goes in the field) on a line in a dotfile. Maybe the fields look/feel comforting. I'm not trying to pick on your friend. It's just that I don't see any _real_ difference beyond look and feel. Pine's config really boils down to a list of options with space to enter values and access to some help/descriptions. Mutt's manual has a list of options with descriptions. The only difference is where the space to enter values is located (text fields vs. dotfile). Granted, Mutt's manual is pretty intimidating with the sheer volume of options, but Pine isn't exactly short on options either. editor like Pico versus something more sophisticated like Vi or Emacs because the former is just easier to use and configure, while the latter requires semi-programmers to be useful. Right. The kinds of people that are happy with Pico won't really appreciate Mutt's advantages over other clients anyway. -- Luke
