Re: Server-side spam and e-mail virus protection
Check XMail : http://www.maticad.it/davide/xmail.asp It can use RBL ( rbl.maps.vix.com ) and RSS ( relays.mail-abuse.org ) as long as many other MTA can. It then have a file that hold Your own list of spammers IPs and has a file that holds IP connection rules ( ALLOW, DENY ). Davide -- Feel free, feel Debian !
Re: Server-side spam and e-mail virus protection
Hoi Joe, ALL! Joe I'm interested in implementing some form of spam and e-mail virus Joe filtering at the daemon. Have you ever heard of NoCeM (no see-'em)? Maybe you'll find it interesting, www.cm.org is a good starting point. -- ignotus
Server-side spam and e-mail virus protection
I'm interested in implementing some form of spam and e-mail virus filtering at the daemon. I know that there are blacklists that you can have Exim and other MTA's use in order to cut down on spam. However, it would be nice if there were some way to stop *new* spam from places that aren't on the blacklists yet. I guess it's just easier to post my whole wishlist and see if there's anything out there like it: o It would be nice if it could be implemented either at the system-wide level (on the daemon) or on a per-user level (via procmail, say). o Also, it would be *really* nice if it could use some very-often-updated list of known spam, so that, as soon as one person reports it as spam to the entity maintaining the list, then the rest of the servers out there would know about it within, say, a couple of hours. Having it also be able to spot e-mail viruses would be a plus, too. o If it *did* find some suspected spam or virus, it would avoid placing it in user's inbox and, instead, insert a message stating that a suspected virus or spam was caught. Additionally, it should be able to place the suspected messages in some mail folder like spam or something so that the user can go look to see if it was possibly legitimate. Anything out there like this yet? - Joe

(snip) You could do worse than have a quick look at Ian Jackson's SAUCE at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/sauce/ - it's quite an interesting piece of software that fits in wonderfully with Debian and exim. -- Mark
