UPS Delivery problem

This is the OP of this issue. I would like to report that my problem, after weeks of issue (That I didn't have time to deal with it and so I just used the delete button as my spam filter) seems to be unconditionally corrected. What did I do? I just posted my problem here, that is all. Now I

UPS Delivery Problems

I have been getting bombarded for weeks with these and even tho I have created specific rules in LOCAL.cf, Spamassassin refuses to even check these bogus obvious spam and potentially virus emails. I get literally 100+ of these a day. -W Received: (qmail 11856 invoked by uid 110); 2 Mar 2010

I have 52 of these sitting in my inbox this morning when I came in to work. this is just the beginning. I get literally hundreds of these a day and Spamassassin does not even check them.   Thats hundreds of these every day for weeks and weeks and weeks on end.   -W   Received: (qmail 21696

I think I started getting this config error again during sa-update a couple of days ago. I thought it had gone away but now it seems it is back. I haven't done anything or changed anything at all outside of sa-update run by a cron. I run spamassassin --lint and there are no errors. The cron

facebook Spam Question

Thanks everyone for the facebook feedback.   Indeed this did happen and begin after Oct 26th. I believe our registration began closer to Nov 1st.   It's relieving that this appears to be coincidence and is not a local virus, keylogger, undetected VPS break in, etc.   My spamassassin is set up as

This may not be an exact Spamassassin type question, but something happened to me recently concerning spam and I am hoping to get some feedback and thoughts about it. I have 3 websites on a VPS and with that several related email addresses. help@, support@, etc; I also have a customer that I

How do I add a mail server as trusted and score it negative?   I need to have mail from a specific site not tagged as spam. I have the domain name and the IP.   Thanks,   Wes

Reply to:

So what makes a spammer want to use a valid email address as a return or reply-to address to catch all the undeliverable, failure and bounced email that occures when sending UBE spam.   Is there some legitimacy with spam detection on an email that contains a valid reply-to email address?   To

Cant Post Message

I have a post I have tried several times over the last week to post to this forum and it never seems to get posted. I don't understand why?   There is nothing exotic about it, just text, a question and email header info I pasted.   Any idea whats up?   Thanks,   Wes

SA Not Checking emails

So I (think) I know that if SA is sent a message of a specific large size, SA will not process it (Recent thread here) and I also (think) I know that if the server is overyly busy, etc. that SA will not check the email. Now I may be totally wrong about this, but my assumptions are based on

DNSWL

I get:     * -1.0 RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW RBL: Sender listed at http://www.dnswl.org/, low     *  trust   and I read the dnswl.org home page, but I don't understand why this rule would get a -1.0 for a LOW trust rating.   It just seems awkward to me, I think LOW trust would dictate a

Subject Rules

I'm writing rules for header Subject and have a rule question.   I want a rule that would hit on specific words, no matter what order they were. Would a rule written like this rule below accomplish that?   Is the * redundant and not needed?   Would a rule written like this be more efficient and

Charles,   Although I understand your reservations, I feel in this case that it's best to lay it all out there and give it to them, let them do what they do. In my mind it's nothing more than Flushing out the best they can offer and finding the loopholes, and closing them up.   There are more

Re: Underscores

I am mainly using the rule to check the header subject, I haven't added it to a body check.   So, between the 3 choices: 1. /(?:[^_]{1,30}_+){5}/ 2. /\S+_+\S+_+\S+/ 3. R02 /^\S{30,}$/m   Which covers the most territory given the example I submitted? I'm basically interested in identifying those

Opt In Spam

And yet another SPAM from these opt-in guys.   I believe this group are nothing but covert Spammers abusing a privilage afforded them.   I receive these spams at two separate email addresses, both I use exclusively for my business, there is no way I'd use these addresses as an opt-in for

Underscores

How can I pattern match when every word has an underscore after it. Example: This_sentenance_has_an_underscore_after_every_word I'm not really good at Perl pattern matching, but \w and \W see an underscore as a word character, so I'm just not sure what might work. body =~ /^([a-z]+_+)+/i Is

Questionable Rule

I am writing some new local rules to my local.cf, so I am watching the headers of emails I receive and I notice this rule that appears in an obvious spam email:   * -4.3 HABEAS_ACCREDITED_SOI RBL: Habeas Accredited Opt-In or Better Subject: Value Product Offers from Admints and Zagabor  

Tools-Monitoring Spam vs Ham, etc.

What tool, or maybe I already have it and don't know it, can I use to get email stastics on my server and domains? Like total emails, those tagged as spam, etc? I have FC2, qmail, Spamassassin 3.1.7 Is sa-tools helpful? Is it worth installing? Thanks, Wes
