 adding fuzzyocr  (http://fuzzyocr.own-hero.net/) to server seemed to
 block 60%-80% of picture spam.

Hi Janno Sannik,
I can't access the website fuzzyocr. If you or anybody have the source can
you upload it on rapidshare / megaupload then share the link here?
I have the howto but I can't do it with out the source .
I hope fuzzyocr will be implement as standard spamassasins in the future.

 I have implemented the wisdom of
 http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/SURBL
 ( loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL )
 to get emails checked against SURBL via SpamAssassin with QMailToaster.
 and I think that is happening ok

And this should set as a default feature for next version QMT if it was
found decreasing incoming SPAM

 steps planned .
 I intend to try some Bayesian Statistical Scoring  create a spam 
 notspam accounts

 as described in http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/SpamAssassin

already done that but I know how to check the result seems to me spam
still there no matter how many email sent to spam and notspam account

btw: if spamassasins-toaster get upgraded does the bayesian database
erased or still there???

 I am beginning an investigation of
 http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm
 I am wondering if others have had any experiences that would be
 illuminating for me

I am not implementing this because when I tried it on my QMT devel box
some rules are broken, some of them already implement on current SA and
someone has said many rules on SA may cause your server slowing down

and SPAMHAUS is nuts.. it's almost block all dial-up/gprs/adsl ip address
luckily there is a submission port where users can send email using QMT
safely without get rejection by rblsmptd

[qmailtoaster] i hope to battle SPAM

2007-04-10 Thread Jim Shupert, Jr.
Friends,
1st - again a big thanks to all who have helped with my qmail-toaster install 
and config.
It goes well , could not have done it without you!

Since all seems to be working I now turn my attention to reducing spam as much 
as possible.
I am wondering waht best practices folks might suggest.

specifically what Black lists to add.

I currently have the default in my var/qmail/control/Blacklists
it reads  -r zen.spamhaus.org

so are there 'others that i might add that are a good idea?
and will adding others have any negitive effect... simscan taking longer that 
sort of thing

RBLs will give you the biggest bang for smallest change. I'm using the
moderate qtp settings
(http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com/trac/browser/trunk/etc/blacklists-moderate) and
that seems to catch 70-80% of it.

You should try that first and see if you really want/need to do anything more.

Note, RBLs are checked at the beginning of the smtp session, so rejections
happen before the message is even transmitted, so it eliminates scanning
entirely on these hits (as well as the transmission/bandwidth). Most efficient.
