Re: Spam control (was: Let People Find You in Google!)
There has indeed been a higher spam:ham ratio on this list of late, however making it subscriber-only won't help. The crims need only spoof the address of someone subscribed to the list to bypass that, and I suspect a few spammers have registered using false addresses anyway (leading to a bounce to anyone posting). Piping it through Spamassassin as it arrives at mx1.freebsd.org, although this isn't so effective against people using freemail accounts. Closing down irresponsibly run freemail operators would be a big help, but it's not going to happen. If anyone wants to discuss this OFF LIST, I'm up for it. Regards, Frank.

Re: SPAM: Re: ZFS root, error 2 when mounting root
I've been down this road recently with 9.1-release.

On 02/25/2013 10:00 am, bw wrote: That was my understanding, too, but the instructions on the wiki say there's no need to copy the cache file. In fact, there is no cache file to copy, since the pool is created with zpool create -o altroot=/mnt -O canmount=off zroot mirror /dev/gpt/g0zfs /dev/gpt/g1zfs No cache file. The wiki article was changed recently to eliminate that part, the message on the wiki is: Fix so that the default instructions does not install data directly to the zroot pool. Simplify instructions regarding cache files, they are no longer needed. Fixes and cleanups. Either the instructions are wrong, or something in my script is. I assume it's my script. The instructions noted above are now INCORRECT for 9.0 (I have not tried this with 9.1 yet) as you MUST manually put the zpool.cache file in place for it to work correctly (I tried a couple different variations when I first setup my systems a few months ago and learned this the hard way :-) I have *lost* of experience with ZFS under Solaris 10 but am relatively new (about a year) to FreeBSD. I tried it on 9.1, failed to specify. There is a change coming down through the stable or current channel, that doesn't require the zpool.cache file. But I don't believe that it has made it's to any of the releases. I haven't been able to track down the original message yet, but here is some of the relevant text from a reply on the freebsd-stable mailing list, the subject of the thread is [HEADSUP] zfs root pool mounting, if you chose to search for it on your own. on 28/11/2012 20:35 Andriy Gapon said the following: Recently some changes were made to how a root pool is opened for root filesystem mounting. Previously the root pool had to be present in zpool.cache. Now it is automatically discovered by probing available GEOM providers. The new scheme is believed to be more flexible. For example, it allows to prepare a new root pool at one system, then export it and then boot from it on a new system without doing any extra/magical steps with zpool.cache. It could also be convenient after zpool split and in some other situations. The change was introduced via multiple commits, the latest relevant revision in head is r243502. The changes are partially MFC-ed, the remaining parts are scheduled to be MFC-ed soon. -- Thanks, Dean E.

Re: SPAM-flag on FBSD list
FreeBSD emailing lists are not spammers, though they let some spams through that their filters miss. Insight Cable uses synacor.com spam-filtering (dis)service that the Insight Cable user can't turn off. This remedy is worse than the disease in my case because it causes bounces, and then my list membership is disabled. Just a few days ago, I switched my FreeBSD lists email address back to the old-but-still-working ATT-Yahoo bellsouth.net email. But synacor.com only filtered out a small percentage of FreeBSD list messages, some but not all of which were spams.

I get hundreds of them. All get handled properly on my system except
the one coming via FreeBSd.org as my system sees FreeBSD.org as a
serious sender. This might be the reason those people try it now that

Interestingly enough, WOT http://www.mywot.com/ rates that site very
poor and displays a warning when it is visited.
*SIGH*
Proof one should _not_ trust WOT ratings when they are based on small numbers
of reports. In this instance, a 'sample size' of *ONE*.
Fact: there was _never_ any 'phishing' page on my server, as the user report
claims. What there -was-, was a copy of an eBay/Paypal ERROR PAGE, with
the *only* distribution of that URL to eBay/Paypal customer support (by
telephone) for purposes of resolving the problem that error page
demonstrated.
The 'vendor reliability' rating is meaningless, Assuming that that WOT user
making the rtingknew anyting about the vendor, which is unlikely :). The
machine intentinally mis-reports its vendor identity as a company that went
out of existance more than a decade ago. Reported application versions are
similar mis-directon. The machine, itself, armor-plated and diamond-coated.
It is proof against _any_ attack other than 'denial of service' -- regardless
of any software vulnerabilites, *undiscovered* or otherwise. All media with
executables, or non-volatile data (like web pages), are (hardware enforced)
read-only, and all writable media are flagged by the kernel such that any
attempt to 'execute' any content from that media is disallowed. Even _I_
can't change anything without taking the machine off-line and into single-
user mode. I can give _you_ console access *and* the super-user password,
the _worst_ you can do is denial of service. grin
The other 'ratings' by that single user are similarly laughable. He has
no way of knowing anything about any of them.
All that said, thanks for the heads-up about mywot.com. I've never heard
of them before this.

Each piece of mail you have sent has been reported to your ISP/Carrier. Each piece of mail you continue to send will lodge you yet another complaint. I will continue to do this till I piss your ISP/Carrier off SO bad, they are left with two choices nullroute me or deal with you since I have many thousands of domains at my disposal, I think, from a business perspective, they will choose to cut you off, cold-turkey then deal w/ the technical resources required to continue to block me, also if enough other people from both the freebsd and debian lists complain, your ISP/Carrier may even choose to seek legal action from you. You *are* in violation of your agreement, a legally binding contract in your country of origin and the ISP/Carrier.

Peter Ulrich Kruppa wrote: Hello, for some time now I keep receiving spam mails from my own (small) mail server, some of them with faked usernames some of them even with my own ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Matthew's message beat me to the response but I had typed one. There are some great tools for this and many are in ports. SPF and these do work. Here is what has been sitting in my drafts, it may have some additional value. ... I don't worry much about what I receive that is forged because I'm reasonably sure that I didn't send it nor were my servers leveraged. I monitor heavily. On the other hand, I do make certain that others aren't receiving spam thinking it's from my domains. SPF helps with this, information is available on www.openspf.org. This doesn't stop forgery, but it does give a tool to the receiver to verify what email is actually from your domain and email server. It's implemented very easily in your DNS entries. SPF is you telling the world that you authorize your domain to send email only from a specific set of servers (or a specific server). After you implement SPF, after a few weeks, they will generally stop using your domain because it's too frequently rejected by receivers. It becomes less in their interest to forge your domain so they go pick on someone else. If you DO want to stop people using your domain in sending to YOU, there are several tools to use in conjunction with sendmail to do this. I use MailScanner which is available within ports. If there are no relays involved in how you receive mail, this works because SpamAssassin (automatically installed with MailScanner) will see if the email you are receiving matched SPF. Yours and everyone elses. There are good docs on the net for using FreeBSD, sendmail, and MailScanner and it's dependencies. If you can't find them, try this: http://bio.fsu.edu/~sysalex/freebsd-mail-server.htm If you are going to run a mail server, it's good to have spam and virus defenses installed. There are more direct methods of actually rejecting forged emails within sendmail. You will find a list of these on the SPF site under implementations. These tools may or may not be in ports. You will have to check on that. They make use of the milter interface within sendmail. The spf mail list is extremely helpful and professional if you have questions on this. You can join this list on their site. I'm not pushing their site or this draft standard, it's that SPF has worked pretty well for what it does and it's open method of dealing with the problems. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

By default on FreeBSD it's named according to what the hostname(1) command outputs, which should be the fully qualified domain name of your machine (ie. pukruppa.net). You can create the initial copies of the files by: # cd /etc/mail # make which will create files pukruppa.net.mc and pukruppa.net.subit.mc and then process those respectively into pukruppa.net.cf and pukruppa.net.submit.cf Edit pukruppa.net.mc to make any changes you want, then type 'make' to rebuild pukkruppa.net.cf and then 'make install restart' to copy pukruppa.net.cf to sendmail.cf (amongst other actiosn) and restart sendmail. In general, whenever you do anything to sendmail related config files including stuff like aliases and access and virtusertable, run just run make to publish it to the running sendmail process -- you only need 'make install restart' when you modify one of the .cf files.

I guess the original poster can mention the load on both cores (or post a top snapshot) so we can see if there is some load on the system. It can cause it to be hotter because the first CPU is servicing all motherboard hardware like the ethernet, video, etc. It is usually the ethernet that causes the most cpu activity. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However this would mean the builds would have to be generic i586, i686 and on an old p3 500mhz machine building for a specific processor with specific optimizations can make a huge difference in performance. Even more so on p2 166 machines. Again to each their own. But I wouldn't tout Microsoft update as a good thing becuase there are known bugs where updates can erase previously updated code with old buggy code... sorry been a long day had to end it with blasting microsloth... -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Spam prevention is a _huge_ topic. Mainly because everything and anything you do to try to prevent spam, spammers will work to circumvent. I would suggest lots and lots of reading on the problem. Research spamcop, spamassassin, greylisting to start, plus any links that those point you to. You've got a lot of work on your hands to understand the problem and effectively prevent it.

It took me a few months to realise that some legitimate mail was getting lost due to senders' weird configuration on SMTP level.

It quietly accepts spam and delivers it marked as such but never bounces. It does a great job, can't complain, but 1% manages to get through from time to time. Also, once in awhile legitimate mail gets marked and this is where whitelisting comes in handy.

I'm pretty sure that some spam filtering is/has been done in the past. IIRC, it's one reason that the FBSD MX's run (ran?) Postfix. I imagine that the filters are still in place ... these lists have such a long history on the 'Net, and are very public (with archives all over), so spam bots could hardly avoid grabbing the list addresses . So, either the spam is smarter, or something's regressed. And, actually, most of what I'm seeing is English, and from a similar source. So, the other possibility, besides random spam, is that ... well, I'll let you guess, but it also happens occasionally. Most likely it will be temporary; I'd be fairly confident that somebody with control of said server is or will soon be aware of the issue and is doing or will soon do something about it.
