Category: None Group: None >Status: Pending Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: oleg (olegkikin) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: spam gets through, totally unmarked Initial Comment: I set the spambayes as a local POP3 server, so all my mail goes through it. I was working fine, and was catching 95% of the spam after i trained it. I set it up so it was marking the header as spam, ham or unsure, so i can sort my mail withing my mail client (outlook express). I send all messages marked "spam" to the deleted folder. But then like three days ago i started getting some of the spam without ANY marks in the header, and now i get like 10-15% of the spam right into my inbox. Does anybody know how to fix that? thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Leonid (leobru) Date: 2005-06-17 10:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=790676 I have observed a new technique used by spammers: they inundate a (personal/virtual) server with dozens of idle SMTP connections - usually from different source IPs using zombies - where each forks a new smtpd process until no more connections can be made due to the limit on number of processes by one user, then they send their spam through one of the connections. Now, if procmail is used for filtering, a fork to call spambayes will fail, and therefore the rescued original text will be delivered to the mailbox based on the default rule. You may be better off setting a rule to put unmarked messages to the unsure box. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2005-06-13 15:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 Take a look at the headers for the mail. Is there a "X-Spambayes-Exception" header? If so, what does it say? What do the log files say? The troubleshooting guide explains where to find the log files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1218181&group_id=61702 _______________________________________________ Spambayes-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes-bugs
