 Andy,

 This works because the action on the Postmaster test is ROUTETO back to
the
 postmaster.

 How it works
 [1] Lowers the weight of the email by 100 so that the message will not be
held
 or deleted in our system
 [2] Re-routes the message back to the postmaster only if the postmaster
account
 was an actual recipient of that email.

 Our policy is that we want to accept any mail destined to the postmaster
or
 abuse account simply because if someone is being blocked by our spam
filtering
 we would like to give them the opportunity to contact us to resolve the
issue.

 However, with just whitelisting the postmaster account you open yourself
up to
 allowing spam to your users if the spammer adds the postmaster account to
the
 email.

 The solution above mitigates this, because it reroutes the message to the
 postmaster preventing it from going to the user.  The -100 just prevents
it
 from being deleted.

 So in the end
 [1] The postmaster gets the mail and the other recipients don't.

  Your technique assigns a weight of -100 to the mail if it contains a
certain

  Once the mail has a weight of -100 (adjusted by any failed tests) - how
does
  that PREVENT the email from being delivered to all the OTHER recipients?
 
  I'm not clear how the effect is different from a whitelist?

  This is a common problem especially when dealing with postmaster
account.
  Most people whitelist postmaster and because spammers know this they
often
  include a postmaster address because they know the message (even to the

Richard,

In my experience it is not a good idea to whitelist the postmaster account for
the exact reasons you posted below.  If you have the postmaster account
whitelisted any incoming spam with multiple recipients listed will end up
having the mail delivered. 

However, the setup of tests below that I outlined [1] allows the mail to be
delivered to the postmaster, but [2] prevents it from being delivered to the
other recipients.

Hope that helps.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Whitelisted- getting thru

2004-05-21 Thread Andy Schmidt
Actually - I used combinations of BypassWhitelisting with both the total
weight and number of recipients.

Someone who has a high weight and sends to the postmaster only, can get
through.

Someone who sends to a few people plus the postmaster, can only have a
medium weight.

Someone who sends to a whole bunch of people plus the postmaster, better
have close to 0 weight.

This way, VALID messages to postmaster can get through.  The higher the
weight, the less tolerant my system is with allowing additional recipients.

Every day a TON of messages are NOT whitelisted - because the weight and/or
the number of other recipients was too high.

I don't know, but I'd guess not.

I saw your post a few weeks ago about a minweight type feature. I have, in
the last week or so, really seen the need for this functionality within
Declude especially for stock and nigerian type messages.

Maybe we could ask for a minweighttofail command for filters.

minweighttofail xx yy

xx - the weight the filter must match or exceed
yy - the weight to assign the message if it exceeds xx

This would allow a filter weight variable that would be different than the
total message weight variable.

For example -

minweighttofail 10 100
subject 5 contains URGENT REQUEST
body 10 contains NIGERIAN OIL COMPANY
body 5 contains reliable foreigner
body 2 contains I am a scammer
body 3 contains kiss your money goodbye
body 1 contains loser
body 6 contains nigerian
body 5 contains best stock

If any combination of filter lines matched the message and the total of
matched line weights was 10 or more the message would get 100 added to it's
total weight. The 10 weight would only apply to the internals of this filter
and would not be added to the overall weight of the message.

If the filter match didn't get a weight of 10 or more, nothing would be
added to the overall message weight.

Greg

The same 1/4 of the Hotmail MX hosts are still down this week.  I
stuffed

that alleviated the queue.  The next day I checked my Imail log, because
I

Someone else countered with a number of lines failed that sounded interesting. 
I'll call it MINFAILURES

You would only score the filter if the number of matched lines was equal to or

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] maxweight/minweight question

It does look like the maxweight's can be changed in a filter.

test filter:
maxweight 5
SUBJECT 5 CONTAINS SCOTTFISHER1
maxweight 10
SUBJECT 10 CONTAINS SCOTTFISHER2
maxweight 5
SUBJECT 15 CONTAINS SCOTTFISHER3

e-mail 1 contained SCOTTFISHER1 and scored 5
e-mail 2 contained SCOTTFISHER2 and scored 10
e-mail 3 contained SCOTTFISHER3 and scored 5

Now is this useful?

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Hotmail not accept inbound mail?

2004-05-21 Thread Matt




I turned off IMail's internal DNS caching in order to avoid situations
like this. I don't host that many local accounts, but I haven't seen
any build-ups in my spool either time that Hotmail has had issues. My
thought is that maybe you cached records in IMail that corespond to the
servers that aren't functioning properly? This is one of the reasons
why I turned this off at least.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] maxweight/minweight question

2004-05-21 Thread Matt




It could be useful. You might use this for instances where you are
mixing types or tests in one filter file where scores could be
different but multiple hits shouldn't occur. For instance, if you
filtered for both an IP address as the HELO and a dashed reverse DNS
entry as the HELO in the same filter, you might score the IP higher
than the dashed entry, and only one hit should occur, i.e.

MAXWEIGHT 8

HELO  8  CONTAINS  .20.
HELO  8  CONTAINS  .21.
HELO  8  CONTAINS  .22.
HELO  8  CONTAINS  .23.
...

MAXWEIGHT 5

HELO 5  CONTAINS  -20-
HELO 5  CONTAINS  -21-
HELO 5  CONTAINS  -22-
HELO 5  CONTAINS  -23-

So if a hit for an IP failed the first set of tests, a score of 8 would
end the processing of the filter, if no hit occurred, it would move on,
adjust the MAXWEIGHT to 5, and possibly hit a dashed IP in the HELO for
a lower score. I suppose that this would also work in reverse and it
might even be a better design to do it that way because lower scoring
false positives are better and I suppose that a HELO could hit both of
these (my own personal filter uses END statements to protect from
non-IP's in that filter though). It would be more efficient to have
the dashed stuff up top though because it hits more often and that
would save a modicum of processing power.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] maxweight/minweight question

2004-05-21 Thread Matt




I think you could actually do that now with a kludge :)

Let's say that you only wanted to give a score of 4 to 10 points...or a
score of 0 points.


  MAXWEIGHT	10

SUBJECT		1	CONTAINS	URGENT REQUEST
BODY		1	CONTAINS	NIGERIAN OIL COMPANY
BODY		1	CONTAINS	reliable foreigner
BODY		1	CONTAINS	I am a scammer
BODY		1	CONTAINS	kiss your money goodbye
BODY		1	CONTAINS	loser
BODY		1	CONTAINS	nigerian
BODY		1	CONTAINS	best stock
BODY		1	CONTAINS	I am an exile
BODY		1	CONTAINS	transfer money to my bank

MAXWEIGHT	9
MAXWEIGHT	8
MAXWEIGHT	7
MAXWEIGHT	6
MAXWEIGHT	5
MAXWEIGHT	4

MINWEIGHT	0

REMOTEIP	-1	CONTAINS	.
REMOTEIP	-1	CONTAINS	.
REMOTEIP	-1	CONTAINS	.


The trick of stepping down the MAXWEIGHT would cause the filter to stop
processing with the current score if it was 4 or more points. Then by
switching to MINWEIGHT, you would subtract any possible points between
1 and 3 by using a filter that always hits, my favorite is checking for
a dot in the REMOTEIP which is always there unless you IPBYPASS all
hops (a configuration error generally). You could also work this out
to only give either 10 points on 3 or more failures or 0 points
otherwise by changing around the filter.

Title: Message



Interestingly 
enough, cacheing isn't the problem on our IMail side. Microsoft has not 
removed the unresponsive hosts from their MX records despite the problem 
persisting over a week and thosehosts never responding. 
IfMicrosoft had changed their DNS, cacheing would be an 
issue.

Also, MSN 
addresees would have the same queuing problem. The MX records for the MSN 
domain(s) point to the Hotmail servers.

Since the problem 
was particularly bad for us, we've put the dummy zone back in our mail server's 
local DNS, with the 12,correction, 9out of 16 hosts that do respond 
to us.

And no, I won't 
share which 9 hosts with the mailing list, as I'm sure your subset of hotmail 
servers would be different from mine, and these messages are archived on the web 
for future admins to stumble over. If you really need to do this too, look 
at the mail hosts and spend some time searching for those IP addresses in your 
sys0521.txt log, but don't forget to check later and remove your dummy zone when 
Hotmail returns to normal service.

I also turned off "Failed Domain Skipping" for the same reasons, but I
don't believe that I had any issues besides temporary delays causing
confusion when helping clients get their servers back online after
failures. I figure that with all the processing power that goes into
spam and virus blocking, caching and failed domain skipping aren't but
0.1% of the utilization and it's likely safer to turn them off. Who
knows.

thought is that maybe you cached records in IMail that corespond to the
servers that aren't functioning properly? This is one of the reasons
why I turned this off at least.

retry for a day before I could start sending to hotmail again.

I'm seeing 2 things:

My default Imail queuing numbers gave too much emphasis on retry threads
and
frequency.  I've lowered them.

The same 1/4 of the Hotmail MX hosts are still down this week.  I
stuffed
the responsive ones into my cacheing DNS server in a hotmail.com zone
and
that alleviated the queue.  The next day I checked my Imail log, because
I
wanted to get rid of that hotmail.com workaround before it bit me, and I
found that the remaining 3/4 of the servers still regularly told my
server
to come back later, refused connection, or dropped the connection.

This looks like it's an ongoing, long term issue. DNReports MX
connection
problems.
