Just curious if anyone has tried this and if so, how their results have been:
http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/ >From the readme: The sa-blacklist.current file in this directory is a blacklist of spammers in a form suitable for use in the spamassassin mail filter program ( http://spamassassin.org/ ). Many thanks to a growing number of contributors; please see the blacklist file for their names. Thanks to all for their contributions! Please send additions or corrections to me, William Stearns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . Please read the README.policy file first. Here's the new way of installing the blacklist. Pick a non-root user under which this will be done; substitute that user's login name for non-root-user in the following. Do this once as root: touch /etc/mail/spamassassin/50blacklist.cf chown non-root-user /etc/mail/spamassassin/50blacklist.cf , make sure that /etc/sudoers has a line for the above user: non-root-user ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart , and place all on one line in non-root-user's crontab (/var/spool/cron/non-root-user): 17 1,7,13,19 * * * sleep $[ $RANDOM / 1024 ] ; rsync -aqL zaphod.stearns.org::wstearns/sa-blacklist/sa-blacklist.current /home/non-root-user/50blacklist.cf && cat /home/non-root-user/50blacklist.cf >/etc/mail/spamassassin/50blacklist.cf && /usr/bin/sudo /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart >/dev/null 2>/dev/null Then get cron to reread the config file by doing this as root: touch /var/spool/cron I'm also providing a list of the domains in sa-blacklist as the file "sa-blacklist.current.domains". Squid will gladly use that as a list of blocked domains; perfect for email clients that will go out to fetch images stored on spammer web servers. Set up a regular download like the above and add these two lines to /etc/squid/squid.conf: acl spammers url_regex "/etc/squid/sa-blacklist.current.domains" http_access deny all spammers There's also a .uri.cf version of this file that looks for these domains inside URL's in the message.
