just be aware of not use loadplugin in a cf file

i have made local.pre for plugins that are 3dr party


It's only a problem if you want to add more rules, that rely on the 
plugin, in a file that comes before WebRedirect.cf alphabetically.  Of 
course anyone who would add their own rules using the interface provided 
by the plugin should know enough to load the plugin before their rules.


It's a fairly safe trade-off, since not many people will add their own 
rules anyway, between providing two files or three.

Re: out of memory when receiving larger mails

2006-05-23 Thread nxxs

But I am using spamc/spamd. I think that the ifspamh-script is a wrapper for
spamc. Inside the ifspamh-script gets spamc called. 
I read already that spamc normally won't scan messages larger 256kb by
default. Thats my problem: It seems that spamc tries to scan the large
messages anyway. The 256kb limit seems not to be active.

Any hints?

Re: Proposal: First URI black list, how about email address black lists?

On Thu, 2006-05-18 at 07:23 -0700, Marc Perkel wrote:
 URI based black lists have been extremely effected in identifying spam. 
 I propose another kind of black list. A list of email addresses embedded 
 in the message body as replies to nigerian type spam and other spam 
 where you are instructed to reply to the email address in the message body.
 
 One thing about all spam is that the spammer wants you to do something. 
 And it's what the spammer wants you to do that is the key to identifying 
 spam. Most spam wants you to click on a link. So the URI black lists 
 work well because it catches the sites that spammers link to.
 
 But - a lot of spam - like nigerian spam - wants you to reply to an 
 email address in the message body in order to do what the spammer wants. 
 So if there were a blacklist of email addresses that spammers use as the 
 place to reply then that would cut into the remaining spam 
 significantly. If we can block email based on a real time list of email 
 addresses within the body a whole new class of spam can be blocked with 
 very high accuracy.
 
 Who likes this idea?
 

Picking up an old thread.

Maybe we would not want to do a lookup at for example.
dig txt spammer=domain.tld.blacklist.tld
To check if [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a spammers email address.

But only at domain.tld.blacklist.tld and punnish the webmailprovider
(most of the time the free providers) with a low score.
It doesn't make a message go over the top but if e.g. in every message
with a yahoo/hotmail/... address in it which is scanned by SA a line is
included with 
EMAILBLACKLISTYAHOO=0.5 added maybe then someday yahoo will do someting
about spammers.

Maybe then there could be even a (dangerous and misused but free
advertising for the provider) rule which will be a negative scoring
rule.
I would love to see in every spam message spammers mis-using my good
name to lower the amount of point. (possible problems like the good-old
bayes poisoning)


In this example yahoo is used but it could have been any provider.

Title: RE: Naming conventions for tests







 -Original Message-
 From: Ben Kreunen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
 Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 8:07 PM
 To: SPAMAssassin email list
 Subject: Naming conventions for tests
 
 
 Hi All
 
 I've been approaching the problem of filtering spam at the 
 email client end
 using the SpamAssassin (3.x) header. Our email server (over 
 which I have no
 control) has a couple of server-side filters that reject emails with
 infected attachments and messages with a spam score  15. 
 This leaves me
 with about 100 spam messages per day.
 
 Rather than rely on the numerical value of the X-Spam-Score 
 header I've been
 looking at client side filters using text strings to pick out 
 groups of
 SpammAssassin tests. Many tests that are similar in nature 
 have common text
 strings, allowing you to create a filter for a single term 
 that includes a
 wide number of tests. The effectiveness of this approach 
 could be improved
 with a better naming scheme for the tests.
 
 The first filter I trialled picks up many tests for 
 blacklisted domains/urls
 using two text strings: 
 X-Spam-Score contains RCVD_IN OR contains BL_
 
 Unfortunately RCVD_IN also includes some good tests so I 
 had to split
 this into two filters:
 X-Spam-Score contains RCVD_IN AND does not contain _IADB_ 
 AND does not
 contain _BSP_
 X-Spam-Score contains BL_
 
 While these two filters do not cover all blacklist tests (and 
 includes other
 types of tests) they do pick up 90% of spam (for me), with 
 numerical scores
 down to 0.35. The main problem with this approach is that it requires
 monitoring of the SPAM assassin tests being applied as the software is
 updated to ensure that it doesn't pick up additional tests 
 for good email.
 On the positive side, the learning aspect of this filter is 
 done by the
 various blacklists.
 
 If the SpamAssassin test could be named with more consistent 
 text strings it
 would be simpler to set up client side filters. 
 E.g. 
 All tests for blacklists contain _BL_
 All possible porn to start with PORN_

 Currently my spamassassin stops some of them, but there are

 what you guys have done regarding this messages.

That's mostly geocities spam. I use the KAM_GEO_STRING2 from
http://www.peregrinehw.com/downloads/SpamAssassin/contrib/KAM.cf to deal
with it. Beware though, this rule catches ALL geocities URI's, so it can
FP easily if someone you know has a real geocities web site. (We haven't
had a FP yet, so apparently no one here knows anyone with a geocities
web site.) Bayes is beginning to be helpful, but the messages mutate so
much that it's not of any real use for catching new versions.

And that's where working at the client end has its benefits. When
incorporating spam filters into standard email filters, users have greater
flexibility as to when a filter is applied. They can filter out ham first
and then apply a filter to treat the remainder as spam.

Having looked through the emails on this list it seems that most of the

Indeed, as long as it says swap: 0k used I would say it is just good memory
management. :-)

That doesn't show spamd is using memory. It's the overall system, and of
course it will use all RAM after some time. Look at top and sort by
memory used (press shift+M while running top) to see the biggest memory
using programs first. ps auxw|grep spamd could also help.

Re: Naming conventions for tests

2006-05-23 Thread Sanford Whiteman
 The  main  problem with this approach is that it requires monitoring
 of  the  SPAM  assassin  tests  being  applied  as  the  software is
 updated...

Well,  I'd  say  this  is  a  problem  chiefly  because  whoever  _is_
administering  the server -- not spamassassin.apache.org -- is clearly
not encouraging the use of granular client-side filtering.

If  filtering  on  more  than  the Spam Score were an expectation from
end-to-end, you would have a consistently updated list provided to you
by  your  mail  admin,  through an intranet portal or whatever. It's a
virtual  certainty  that your mail admin is using rules and metas that
don't ship with SA. What would you do about those?

Are you looking to catch a particular type of spam?  Most people with an 
up-to-date SpamAssassin version and a complement of SARE rules are 
either looking to catch something specific or are looking to fix a 
mis-configuration.

Re: Spam Assassin Detecting our emails as spam

2006-05-23 Thread spectacularstuff

Here is a complete header without the report_safe 1.  Below the header is the
result of my MXLookup and NSLookup.  You will notice that I put my score
down to 5 from my previous 8 in order to get this to report as spam.

My question is what do I have to do in order to stop SA from reporting that
there is no MX from our emails.
I want our emails to get past:
3.2 NO_DNS_FOR_FROMDNS: Envelope sender has no MX or A DNS records

Thanks,

Wayne

When I want to test that spam assassin it working it's fairly easy, look
in the header information or user the gtude command

http://spamassassin.apache.org/gtube/

But what about when I want to test that DCC  razor are working? are there
any tests for that?

Im basically trying to build a better spam filtering box then what they have in 
the commerical side. With SARE, Sendmail SBL, my box is doing pretty good, but 
spam is still getting through.
