James,

>because it contains a forged received header

Let's look at the header lines:

line 1
>                Received:               from astaro1.bordo.com.au 
(localhost [127.0.0.1]) by

> >; Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:03:20 +1000 (EST)

line 2
>                Received:               from astaro1.bordo.com.au

line 3

line 4
>                Received:               from forgedsnd.example.com

What 'Received' line should be the forged one? I think it is line 3. But 
there is nothing forged in this line, except the 'helo=main' which is not 
used by ASSP, because it is only an option to have it there.

It looks like your assp 'ASSP-nospam' is not directly connected to to a 
public IP - there is an other mail server in front, that receives the 
message - right?
You has defined the name of that server as 'ispHostnames' - in your case 
'astaro1.bordo.com.au' (line 3). And ASSP has right detected the IP and 
hostname in that line.

Line 2
>                Received:               from astaro1.bordo.com.au 
([192.168.1.2] 
>helo=astaro1.bordo.com.au) by ASSP-nospam; 26 Aug 2009 09:03:20 +1000

 This line is written by ASSP.

Line 3
>                Received:               from gold.dnsstuff.com 
([75.125.82.251]:59117 helo=main) 
>by astaro1.bordo.com.au with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from 
<emailavt...@dnsstuff.com

>+1000

This line is the first one (Received: line) that ASSP has got.

ASSP has correctly used the IP '75.125.82.251' as connected IP (cip) to 
make all IP based checks (SPF,PTR,MX,DNSBL,GRIP,IP-Blocking .....) - if 
configured.

The line 4

>                Received:               from forgedsnd.example.com 
([127.0.0.2]) by 
>forgedrcv.example.com with fakesvc; Wed, 12 Aug 2009 23:24:02

contains some words (forged...  and  fake...) which could be detected by 
'bombHeaderRe' if you want - but there is no RFC that disallows the usage 
of such words as host- or service name.

I'm unable to see, from where we could detect, that this a forged mail!

Thema
[Assp-test] Spam getting through from DNSstuff spam test






DNSstuff have a beta of a new anti-spam test tool which I ran. 
Unfortunately the email got through. What settings should I use to 
stop this in future? The message states that it should be caught 
because it contains a forged received header, but it looks like ASSP 
is not picking this up.

I've increased the rblnValencePB to the default of 35 (from 5).

Running 2.0, 4.02.

Any suggestions about the forged received header?

Thanks,

James.
