hello all, I'm testing Vipul's razor (not spamassassin, just razor2). I'm going to ask friends and clients to forward spam to me (part of the testing process, if things work out, we'll install razor2 on our mail server).
Is anyone aware of a way to strip forwarding information from email? I can afford for the stripping to be imperfect (i realize that it's going to be imperfect since lots of people have lots of weird ways to quote text). i'll just not report spam if the stripping didn't work correctly. preferably, the forward stripping should work via procmail although it doesn't have to. it can work on the command line too. i can figure out a way to make it work the way i want. how is spamassassin or razor on heavy traffic mailservers? we already have antivirus scanning on our mailservers. but traffic isn't that heavy, and CPU load isn't a big deal yet. razor makes socket connections to razor servers when checking signatures and when reporting. is this a problem? i noticed on razor-users mailing list today that the razor1 servers are getting hit hard and so checking was going slow. something like that would slow things down on the checking mailserver's side too (possibly having much mail queue up for checking before being delivered, and if it goes on indefinitely, a DOS attack on the razor servers would be a DOS attack on my mailserver too). thanks for any pointers. and discussion of spam blocking is going to be good too. on razor-users, someone pointed at: http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html which is interesting and was apparently discussed on slashdot. i've only seen the article though, and not the slashdot discussion. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo tiger*quimpo*org gquimpo*sni*ph tiger*sni*ph Veritas liberabit vos. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
