ORBS has just changed the definitions of all of their spam databases, so anyone who is
using spam protection (such as Declude, IMGate, or MailShield) will need to check to
see if they are using any of the ORBS databases. If so, you will need to make some
changes, or your ORBS tests won't work.
The bad news is that it is a very unorganized change. They never let us know of the
changes, it's not very clear on their website that changes were made, they still have
old information on their website, and some of the information isn't accurate.
The good news is that we have it all figured out, and ORBS now has 8 tests (inputs,
outputs, delayed outputs, manual, spam source, untestable netblocks, spam source
netblocks, and servers currently being tested) instead of 5.
If you are running Declude JunkMail, you do not have to upgrade to take advantage of
these changes. Since Declude does not hard-code the definitions, you can just change
your configuration file. The new configuration file (global.cfg) has been placed
online. All you need to do is copy the lines from the new file that begin with "ORBS"
over the ones in the old config file that begin with "ORBS".
If anyone has any questions, please let me know. Thanks.
