[sambar] Sambar Spam Filter Problem

[Paul Alger \(Ironclad\)]

I have a lady who is subscribed to a newsletter.  When I enabled spam filtering, Sambar started rejecting this newsletter.  Here is the log entry.  FYI, I only do DNSBL, no spam.flt filtering at all…   [2003-11-06 01:14:30] OK [19401592] [140.239.85.2] [CONNECT] [2003-11-06 01:14:30] OK [19401592] [140.239.85.2] [DISCONNECT]   Not too much info there.  I obtained the log entry of the smtp server that sends this newsletter:   --> Attempting to connect to: ironclad.net (66.15.106.176 25) <-- Connected to: ironclad.net (66.15.106.176 25) <-- 220-ns1.ironclad.net ESMTP Server ready  Thu, 06 Nov 2003 14:00:07 <-- 220-No UCE.  This server does not authorize use of its computers or network <-- [nothing received]   Obviously, Sambar thinks it is spam due to one of the built in rules.  My question is, can I white list this IP?  If so, what is the syntax for the whitelist.flt file?  I don’t have a white list to look at.  Will white listing even work since this is a built in spam catcher in Sambar?   Also, how can I find out why Sambar is rejecting this message.  It appears that the ip resolves.  I don’t have a copy of the e-mail to look at the headers since Sambar rejects the message.  The ultimate solution is to tell them how to fix the problem on their end so it doesn’t look like they are sending spam.       ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe please go to http://www.sambar.ch/list/ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
