Re: SPAM-flag on FBSD list

2013-01-14 Thread Thomas Mueller
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.

SPAM-flag on FBSD list

2013-01-13 Thread Christopher J . Ruwe

Hello,

while testing a new mail configuration on freebsd-test@, I noticed a
very interesting part in the header, which I just paste

Old-X-HE-Spam-Score: -2.3
Old-X-HE-Spam-Report: Content analysis details:   (-2.3 points)
  pts rule name  description
  -- --
 -2.3 RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED  RBL: Sender listed at http://www.dnswl.org/, medium
  trust
 [8.8.178.116 listed in list.dnswl.org]
  0.0 TVD_SPACE_RATIOTVD_SPACE_RATIO
X-HE-SPF: PASSED

Curious about who is the culprit in the chain, I did

[cjr@dijkstra:~]$ dig -x 8.8.178.116
(01-13 16:42)

Are the FreeBSD-mail servers spammers?

Anyhow, have a nice week, cheers,

Punctuation matters:
Lets eat Grandma or Lets eat, Grandma - Punctuation saves lives.
A panda eats shoots and leaves or A panda eats, shoots, and leaves -
Punctuation teaches proper biology.

 From the org's web page:
 
 dnswl.org: DNS Whitelist - Protect against false positives
 
 What is dnswl.org?
 
 Dnswl.org is the leading whitelist provider for email filtering. It
 has over 80'000 users and contains more than 150'000 entries of good
 mailservers.

Thanks for the explanation, the wl part of the domain and the negative
number escaped me completly. 

Sorry for the noise, cheers,
