Harald Hinz offered a script for blacklisting in December.
Others have also talked about offering scripts.
I am thinking of putting some time into a script, I have two questions
for the community:
1. Spamdyke Community Script Library
Sam is obviously under considerable pressure to develop the main code
line, how about we create a SourceForge project to facilitate scripts
from a variety of people on a variety of topics?
2. Graylisting Cleanup Script
My own idea is not new and is one that people have asked for. I need to
know if there is interest for it and, from Sam, if you are otherwise
going to handle this in the core product.
I use Graylisting and find it knocks out 90%+ of all spam. My concern
is the runaway growth of the "database" that underpins this. (The
matter is mentioned here:
http://www.spamdyke.org/documentation/FAQ.html#SUGGESTION5 and is a
recurrent theme on this list.)
My contribution would be for a simple approach removes Graylist entries
for recipients that are known to be bogus. I propose a solution that is
tuned for a Vpopmail installation; I propose only dealing with domains
that have simple "qmail-default" rules like "delete" and "bounce" and
not dealing with complex cases with downstream recipient filters, e.g.
domains operating Mailman. Would others like this?
My programming skills are in languages like Java, but I imagine that the
likely re-use of my script would want it in a generic Unix shell or
perhaps Perl implementation, am I right?
Andrew.
