Spam filtering on the lists (Re: *****SPAM***** (XXXX)XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX...)

2002-04-05 Thread Jean-Marc V. Liotier

According to these headers contained in the message received from the
list, SpamAssassin has correctly tagged it as Spam. So why was it
forwarded anyway?

X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=11.4 required=4.7
tests=SUBJ_ALL_CAPS,JAVASCRIPT,MAILTO_LINK,
CTYPE_JUST_HTML,FORGED_HOTMAIL_RCVD,SUBJ_FULL_OF_8BITS version=2.01
X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.01 (devel $Id:
SpamAssassin.pm,v1.61 2002/01/25 04:41:02 jmason Exp $)
X-Spam-Prev-Content-Type: text/html; charset=ks_c_5601-1987
X-Spam-Report:   11.44 hits, 4.7 required; *  0.7 -- Subject is all
capitals *  3.0 -- BODY: JavaScript code *  0.8 -- BODY: Includes a URL
link to send an email *  3.3 -- HTML-only mail, with no text version * 
0.8 -- Forged hotmail.com 'Received:' header found *  2.8 -- Subject is
full of 8-bit characters

Nice illustration of the scoring method. That convinces me to try
SpamAssassin.

Unfortunately, yes.

 Have I not looked in the right place?

No, no, it is a really a problem.

 Is LDAP really the best tool here?  Keep in mind hundreds of authen

I never benchmarked so many requests but other people seem to be happy

Netscape Roaming Access

2002-04-05 Thread Tamara Wowczuk


Hi all!
Last time I have wrote:
I've installed slapd 2.0.23-2 on linux debian with apt-get install.
After that I edited the configuration files and a netscape-profile.schema.
Then I edited entrys into the database with ou=People and ou=roaming.
It works well.
Subsequent I enable the Roaming Access for Netscape and set the
server information.
I selectet the items Bookmarks, Cookies, Mail Filters, Adress Book,
user Preferences and History to transferred to the database.
After I restarted Netscape Comunicator I login with my LDAP - Password
but when I shutdown the comunicator, the database dosen't
save my Bookmarks, Cookies, etc.
Now I have unfixed my problem. I only install the slapd_2.0.14-1.1_i386.deb
packet. Now it woks well and the database save my Bookmarks, Cookies, etc.
But can me anyone say where the difference is between this two ( slapd_2.0.23-2
and slapd_2.0.14-1.1) versions?
Thanks in advance,
Tamara

2002-04-05 Thread Marcel Hicking

You might be interested in an article from IBM
on non-stop authentication with Linux clusters
where they use an LDAP server with replication
on a second failover server and auto takeover
in case of failure.

Re: GRE, VPN and suchlike

Hi Gregiore,

 Thank you, Brendan,
 
 This is a good starting point.
 
 But will this package implement GRE (port 47) ? Just because I need to
 install the Linmux box as a firewall.
 In fact it is already a fw. What I need is just to make VPN encapsulated
 packets to go through the firewall to the VPN server which is located
 in the inside LAN.

If all you want to do is forward PPTP packets to an internal (public IP) 
PPTP VPN server that's easy. Under kernel 2.4:

# For the initial PPTP authentication
iptables -A INPUT -p TCP -s your VPN server --dport 1723 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p TCP -d your VPN server --sport 1723 -j ACCEPT

# Then for forwarding GRE
iptables -A INPUT -p 47 -s your VPN server -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p 47 -d your VPN server -j ACCEPT

If you want to masquerade PPTP packets to an internal (private IP) PPTP 
server then read this howto:

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/VPN-Masquerade-HOWTO.html

However, this only covers kernels 2.0 and 2.2. I haven't tried doing 
this under 2.4 yet.

 
 And do I need samba ? I want to keep my Debian fw with as few daemons as
 possible, as you can guess ;-)


You only need Samba if you want to provide Windows file and printer 
sharing on the firewall itself. PPTP does not require Samba.

 Anyway THANK YOU for your help !

No problems. Hope this helps!

Brendan

Because it might not be spam, but only a false hit ??
Because blocking mail by the list could be considered some kind of sensorship ??

BTW, because you used multiple X's in 3 different words, your mail also
scored 1.896 points for 'Uses words and phrases which indicate porn
(3)'. This is not very much (and is compensated by using a In-Reply-To:
header worth -5.029 points, so I did receive your message, but you get
the idea :)

I use spamassassin on my home and work mailservers (when I receive this
message back from the mailinglist I know it has been checked 4 times by
various spamassassins) and I really like it, but even spamassassin is
not perfect enough to use it to really block mail.

Isn't sensorship the point of a spam sensor?  hehe

What's wrong with bouncing the message and asking the user to fix it before

It was so simple !
Just use [iptables] ipchains to setup the rules and we have a nice

I like the way it is, because it clearly marks what is (probably) spam, and 
all I have to do is put 1 rule in my mailer that moves everything with a 
subject containing **SPAM** to the trash.  However, it relieves the burden 
on the mailist admins to clear out the inbox, and lets through messages 
that are legit but would otherwise get bounced (like the XXX example).

Basically, this is the coolest approach I've seen a list take so far.  Mad 
props to whoever came up with the idea!

The same result as SCSI termination problems, which sometimes don't appear 
until after months of use.
