RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Do you use ColdFusion? - Java?

2003-11-12 Thread Craig Gittens
The neat thing about Posini though is that my delivery load PrePostini was
220,000 emails AFTER Declude sorted. PostPostini it is now 35,000. Postini
stops DHA and SPAM DOS as well. They use Postfix. It really is neat and I
would prefer if I could have the staff and resources to build a redundant
infrastructure like that but I don't so we will do this for now. Perhaps
they will one day integrate it with mail suites like Imail and Brightmail
but that is the only drawback I see ATM. Maybe you should bite the bulllet
and offer the service to your customers as well. (The ROI makes sense if you
are inundated with SPAM. BW savings is a factor if your BW is expensive.)

Our local competition uses Postini. And I have lost a few customers over to

Title: Message



I 
question the importance tomake the interface "cross platform" - when the 
tool that you are managing (Imail and Declude) are Windows specific? I'd 
personally rather use the web server that is already optimized for that 
environment and offers me plenty of control: IIS.

2003-11-06 Thread Matthew Bramble




I'm not sure that I totally followed you, however I think I know where
you are going with that. FP reporting is important to your product,
and anything that could make the process easier would benefit all of
your users, even if some didn't use it.

Speaking for myself and from my perception of what I have seen, I think
my approach to management of such things, while not totally out of the
ordinary, is unique, and I have the same perception of most here.
While I have Web-mail (KWM), I don't use it except for spam reviewing,
and my users hardly use it at all. Over time I expect to be doing a
lot more gateway spam blocking, in which case a setup for managing such
domains would need to be quite different since they aren't locally
hosted, but locally managed. The real usefulness might be in single
domain installations.

Maybe I'm not following what you are getting at though. It might be
real nice though to come up with a plug-in for reporting spam and false
positives in the mail client, or at least the Web-mail client. If I
chose to report spam from a Web mail client for instance, it will munge
the HTML stuff and you could lose some important data for processing.
Having the original header information would also be quite useful for a
dual match with the body URL for your filtering (this has given me some
issues in my trial and forces me to score low in the event of forwarded
content from legit users). Don't get me wrong though, by in large, I'm
very impressed with your architecture after three days of trialing your
product.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Do you use ColdFusion? - Java?

2003-11-06 Thread Sheldon Koehler
I am not a programmer by any stretch of the word! Bit I would love to see a
user interface and a domain interface for Declude Junkmail that works from
the KWM menus. I have tossed around this idea before but always get
distracted with other projects. I do not remember who (I could search my
email...) I talked to this past spring, but someone was working on this I
think. I never heard anything more so I never followed up (my own fault).

We host about 150 domains on our Imail server. There are about 5000
mailboxes on it. I spend a couple hours per day tweaking settings answering
Spam related email and tracking down FP's. If I could offload some of this
on the users in a way that would be easy for them, I would love it!

The Auto Whitelist is OK, but we have had several people put [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
then complain they are getting tons of Spam. I did like Scot's interface, as
it was simple and clean but having user remember another password would not
be a good option. And since our KWM sees a lot of use, having the menus
there would be easy for users to find it.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Do you use ColdFusion? - Java?

2003-11-06 Thread Pete McNeil


If I read you right, you might be interested in a java applet that can be
tied into KWM or even built into a web page you develop... perhaps using
page based JS to gather message details to feed to the applet... It
sounds like a lot of complexity but it's worth looking in that direction.
The applet would be able to make specialized HTTP calls back to the same
server (security restrictions) - and that server could respond using IIS,
CF, or whatever was handy. We do http tunneling like this all the time -
so the question then would be, if a toolbox applet like this existed,
with a well published API, then what tools should/would it contain?

(This is getting far, far off topic unless it quickly leads to a list of
Declude centric adjustments that might be supported in the applet
provided UI... sorry for the ot - Please feel free to contact me off list
if it heads further ot.)

Maybe I'm not following what you are getting at though. It might be
real nice though to come up with a plug-in for reporting spam and false
positives in the mail client, or at least the Web-mail client. If I
chose to report spam from a Web mail client for instance, it will munge
the HTML stuff and you could lose some important data for
processing. Having the original header information would also be
quite useful for a dual match with the body URL for your filtering
(this
has given me some issues in my trial and forces me to score low in the
event of forwarded content from legit users). Don't get me wrong
though, by in large, I'm very impressed with your architecture after
three days of trialing your product.

and generate accurate false positive reporting in the process, etc...
(these are the ideas we have anyway...)
  
  Thoughts?

I've got one, but don't really use it. I much prefer

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Do you use ColdFusion? - Java?

2003-11-06 Thread Matthew Bramble
I've thought about the idea of building a digest notification app for 
Declude which allows users to retrieve held messages, change 
notification intervals, whitelist senders (and manage them), and allow 
for users to set their individual spam blocking level.  Again though, 
the last two parts requires some integration with IMail rules, and 
exceptions can be messy (how to handle messages to aliases that were 
held), and they wouldn't work in the same regard for gatewayed E-mail.

I'm throwing this out here because if I ever get to this, it will 
probably be a long time and difficult to support as a for-sale 
application.  It would be absolutely killer though, and it would 
dramatically reduce the need for administrators to do monitoring.  It 
also would remind the customer of how much spam we are blocking, and 
give them some control without messing up our Declude setup with endless 
customizations.

I'd gladly pay for something that worked.

One piece of what I had in mind was a gadget to look through the spam 
folder, and pull out a list of the messages held for a given user. If 
the user decides they want that message (based on from  subject) then 
the utility would send it back into the spool for delivery and make an 
appropriate (and detailed) fp report - perhaps also taking some 
automated tuning actions.

(The cross - platform part means that messages held on a Postfix box 
could also be handled this way - with a few under-the-cover tweaks. 
This would be seamless to the end user and might also work for other 
platforms if it's done in a clean modular way.)

Other parts of the utility would put a pretty face on global, domain, 
 user specific settings in Declude (if any). Again, in a modular way 
- probably switched on and off based on the user that is logged in. 
Here again, some modular design might make the tool portable to other 
environments... but that's a secondary concern.

Does that sound like something in line with your thinking?

Anyway it's a non-trivial project, so it's going to take some pushing 
to move it forward. Strong interest (if it appears) would help.

this I
think. I never heard anything more so I never followed up (my own 
fault).

We host about 150 domains on our Imail server. There are about 5000
mailboxes on it. I spend a couple hours per day tweaking settings 
answering
Spam related email and tracking down FP's. If I could offload some of 
this
on the users in a way that would be easy for them, I would love it!

The Auto Whitelist is OK, but we have had several people put 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and
then complain they are getting tons of Spam. I did like Scot's 
interface, as
it was simple and clean but having user remember another password 
would not
be a good option. And since our KWM sees a lot of use, having the menus
there would be easy for users to find it.

I did not expect it for free. I have the KWM price in mind as a point I
could get my partners to go for. Any higher than this and it would be a very
hard sell for me. So this means a lot of people need to be interested in it!

Our local competition uses Postini. And I have lost a few customers over to
them as people do seem to like that interface. However, I have thrown out
the security thing to muddy the waters ;-) We do not send their email
out to someone else's servers... I let them draw their own wrong
conclusions...

But if I could lighten my own load and give users an easy to use interface,
I would be extremely happy!

2003-11-06 Thread Matthew Bramble




Now I understand what Postini is, the original question makes more
sense.

I just read a review of their service from PC Magazine (linked from
their site). They have a 1.4% false positive rate, and a 15.1% false
negative rate.

For a comparison, our first gateway customer (fairly small client) in
the last three days has seen a 0.12% false positive rate, and a 0.61%
false negative rate. The only FP was an ad from JCrew and was the
result of just having installed Message Sniffer and needing to build up
my whitelist for them. This account averages about 13.7 spams per day
per account, though over 90% of it goes to just 15% of their users.

I'd call that a good selling point :) I must confess though, their
traffic was easy, but the majority of the false negatives will be gone
after I block two more static spammers.

Read about the results from that article for them and other companies
at this link:

 http://www.postini.com/services/Postini_PC_Mag_11_2003.pdf

Decent interface...very questionable results.
