Re: [qmailtoaster] ***SPAM*** Re: [qmailtoaster] locally blacklist a domain
Friends, If any of you ( like me ) have wanted to write your own Add-on Rules for SpamAssassin. I suggest http://www.intuitive.com/spam-assassin-rule-help.html it has given me the handful of hints that are needed for success. and there are links in the thread below. I do have 1 question that is Qmail Toaster specific: Is there any limit to how long one might make the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf ? in other words how many rules can one drop in without bogging down SA ? Would 5 - 10 make no impact on speed? thanks jims - prev - Jim Shupert, Jr. wrote: I like that idea of write a rule for SA to target him, and just have it assign him 100 points I have looked on the Toaster wiki and the SA site ... I do not find examples of this. How might one write a SA rule ? and does that get cronned or it is then part of the SA process? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks alot ( also... when I become President Sapmmers will be treated like Bank Robbers.) I'd prefer them to be treated like deserters or people who commit treason Before I digress to far: Writing rules is a whole other world. Here's a link on writing rules (I don't agree with all his statements, but he IS linked to from the RulesEmporium site): http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mkettler/sa/SA-rules-howto.txt And here's a guide on Perl regex: http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/mail2sms/regex.shtml Or you can just dig through the rules and find examples Here's some of mine: Body test: bodyJV_Phaarm_Drug /MegaPha*rm/i describeJV_Phaarm_Drug Common word used by spammers in ED ads score JV_Phaarm_Drug 10.0 URI test (yes, I know about the period): uri JV_Pharm1l_Drug /sassantrappy.com/i describeJV_Pharm1l_Drug Pill ad web link score JV_Pharm1l_Drug 10.0

Would 5 - 10 make no impact on speed? You would put your rules in their own file, not in the local.cf. I have a file called 70_jake_rules.cf, located in /etc/mail/spamassassin that gets included with my own rules. I have probably 200 or so written in there, and do not really notice any speed reduction. So in short, 5-10 would be no problem. Hope that helps. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

And I would have to assume you are correct in the assumption that it was tagged due to the examples, since I've whitelisted the mailing list on my end Good luck! smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
