Free SURBL sources + rbldnsd extensive docs + configuring spamassin with new surbl source?

2010-09-28 Thread selven
Hi, i wanted to set up my own surbl server, unfortunately, not much
information is available around, most of the time am bumping into this
http://www.surbl.org/public-dns.html, but well, getting rsync data feed
access from surbl.org is way too expensive for a bunch of kids at school. Is
there some sort of free list out there that i can rsync from and then if
there's any guide/docs that i could follow to get my spamassassin to query
my local surbl server.

Thanks

What's wrong with querying the public servers?

SURBL/URIBL  DBL are free if you remain below their heavy traffic usage 
policies. The Invaluement.com lists are not free for public querying but 
an interesting alternative as well.


If, as you say, you only cater for a bunch of kids at school you 
shouldn't be hitting the BL's thresholds.

Sounds more like he wants to do this as an exercise - selven, you could
always rsync the uceprotect lists, if those are useful to you.

(no report template found) - no 10_misc.cf but sa-update shows correct paths

2010-09-28 Thread Edward Prendergast

 Hi,

I'm seeing (no report template found) on:

SpamAssassin version 3.3.2-r929478
  running on Perl version 5.12.2
This is a build of perl installed in /opt/perl5.
Took SpamAssassin from the SVN repo to get around the taint issue as 
this doesn't seem to have made it onto CPAN yet 
(https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.3/


The docs I've seen from googling all seem to point to:

clear_report_template - I don't have this set in any of my configs
Failure to access 10_misc.cf - I don't have this on my system, but it 
also doesn't seem to exist on other systems which are working?


To get the no template found error I'm running:
spamassassin -C /etc/opt/mail/spamassassin/ -t  /path/to/message

Not sure if it's OK to paste debug output here (20k) - if so (and it's 
wanted) please let me know and I'll include it/


Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Edward

It's part of 10_default_prefs.cf of the stock rule-set.

 spamassassin -C /etc/opt/mail/spamassassin/ -t  /path/to/message
   ^^
Why are you using that option? The given path looks like your site
config dir, not the default rule-set dir. The latter, which is what -C
sets, also is the dir where sa-update puts the rules.

See 'man spamassassin-run'. Also see 'man spamassassin' for the dirs
used by default on your site, as set during configure.

It is OK -- or use a pastebin, if you prefer.

MSGID_RANDY getting old

2010-09-28 Thread Joseph Brennan



MSGID_RANDY is hitting messages written by secure mail software used
by at least two health care providers, optumhealth.com and uhc.com.

Sample:  4d7a08$dgl...@mail16.uhc.com

MSGID_RANDY no longer gets much spam, and what it gets scores pretty
high even without it.

Yesterday, here,

45 total hits on MSGID_RANDY (of 2,748,004 messages)

.. 14 were Secure Mail
.. The 31 others scored 10.5 to 34.7

Your mileage may vary. In fact I'd like to know how it looks on other
systems.  But I'm going to zero the score here.



If we want to save the rule, the health care messages can be identified
by these features:

Subject contains /Secure Message from / followed by the same address
as the From header.

The message body contains a MIME part named securedoc.html coded as
application/octet stream.

I cannot post a sample secure message.

(I just noticed MSGID_RANDY also hits on score reports from ancient
software used by the Educational Testing Service, ets.org, and that
we whitelisted them a long time ago to work around it.  Their mail
has two-digit years too, so I considered them a true whitelist case
that can't be helped otherwise.)
