Re: [Declude.JunkMail] First SpamCop SURBL bad entry

2004-05-01 Thread Roger Eriksson
It seems like the people running SURBL have found it too, since edu.au now is in the whitelist of ccTLDs that never should be blocked. SURBL has changed the name of the rbldns zone file by adding a d at the end, so the download URL is now http://www.surbl.org/sc.surbl.org.rbldnsd. The old name

[Declude.JunkMail] New script and filter

2004-04-29 Thread Roger Eriksson
Hi, I have written a new command script that creates a filter which seems to be promising. The rationale behind this is two observations: most spam have several recipients and most spam is sent to invalid addresses. Our server rejects about 75% of all incoming messages for the latter reason.

[Declude.JunkMail] ALLRECIPS variable

2004-04-28 Thread Roger Eriksson
Hi, Something just struck me. Wouldn't it be a good idea to have the individual addresses in the ALLRECIPS variable surrounded by angled brackets, if it is possible to do that? It only makes sense to use this variable with the CONTAINS filtertype, and by having such brackets we could easily

[Declude.JunkMail] SURBL filter script 1.2

2004-04-18 Thread Roger Eriksson
The SURBL filter script has been updated again and now includes: - a maxweight variable that sets both MAXWEIGHT and the weight of individual entries (so that filter processing stops at the first match) - an exclusion file where domains and ip addresses that should be excluded from the filter

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Updated SURBL filter script

2004-04-16 Thread Roger Eriksson
Matt, Thanks for the suggestions. With a maxweight variable it would also make sense to add a body weight variable (so that this weight easily can be set to a value other than 0). At present, the processor load shouldn't be any problem, however, since the number of entries is rather few. This

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Updated SURBL filter script

2004-04-16 Thread Roger Eriksson
I will update the script so that it can handle both maxweight and an optional exclude file. I don't think that a variable for setting the weight of rows/entries different from the maxweight is necessary, since the purpose is to stop processing at a match, so the maxweight option would set the

Scott, If I understand this correctly, the drawback with this work-around, compared with the MAILFROM test, is that it only looks up the A record and doesn't check for any MX records. Any idea if this will cause a number of false positives? /Roger Scott could yo explain how this works? Or,
