It's not "whack-a-mole", I'm getting the list of URIs from http://aper.svn.sourceforge.net/, some of these sites are not listed in the uribl list. >Even worse, you outright ignored my post explaining this. Despite the >fact, you actually replied to it. And quoted it in full below. Quite the opposite, I took your advice - even though it might look to you as if I didn't. 1) I uploaded an email to the server to test. Not what I was doing before. 2) You said not to use the -L option and I didn't. 3) turn skip_rbl_checks 1 ... I tried looking for this option and couldn't find the file that had this option. 4) I made sure DNS was available using the -D option. Those were all your suggestions that I followed and totally opposite of what you thought. As for #3, I just couldn't find, and when I tested it and saw the rules come up I thought I was in the right track. >Also, I seriously doubt you tested your rules "with a real email" as you >said. Notice the NO_RELAYS rule hit for an example. The sample was >either severely damaged, or a very bad copy-n-paste from a source that >just does not resemble a raw mail. Like I said I uploaded an email file. I don't know if that counts as a real email... > I told you before to read some basic docs. I have read some docs - but they weren't helping with what I was trying to do. Thats why I'm here hoping someone could help. >That just is not how SA works. It does not reject spam. It does not >block it, dump it, or otherwise prevent mail from "going through". I'm not saying it should block it (i didn't make this clear), but the Subject line isn't changing. From what I've read, it should change the subject line to ****SPAM*****, but it's not doing that. It doesn't seem like SA is scanning the mail. I've already looked at the sun messaging logs and there's no indication of SA scanning the emails. Useless full-quote snipped. Please go back in the thread and read my explanation again, carefully. > I'm new to this forum, I hit reply and that's what it gave me. >If you want us to help, you should stop ignoring our advice. It might >surprise you, but there may be better solutions to your obvious problem. >Better than maintaining a list of bad uri rules on your own... Again, I'm not ignoring your suggestions or anyone else's. I'm extremely new to SA and to Sun/Oracle messaging services. I'm trying to understand and researching...It may be easy and obvious to you, but I'm here because i'm starting from scratch. I probably know less than a percent of what you know about SA. I'm trying to learn and get advice. If my newbie behavior annoys or frustrate you, I apologize, but as much as I appreciate that you are helping, but a little understanding of how new I am to this would be greatly appreciated. And if I still annoy or frustrate you, just ignore my post, helping is voluntary. -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu\0.@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}} -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/new-rules---where-do-i-activate-them--tp31008400p31061099.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
