[Declude.JunkMail] Newbie questions:

2002-07-12 Thread John Weiner




After reading the archives (thanks all!) for most of the afternoon, I'm still 
on the fence with what to expect from Declude.  I run an ISP that gets over 
100k emails inbound a day, and the hardware handles it nicely.   SMTP 
normally never claims more than 20% of available cpus for both in and outbound 
traffic.  
Here are the questions I've made sofar:
Given the above info, what can I expect the overall processor 'hit' to be on 
incoming filtering only?  
Does Declude utilize more processing power if I use more checks?  
Are checks run simultaneously, or linearly?
I've read that smtp32.exe is replaced by declude.exe.  Does Declude 
utilize multi-processors?  
Does declude.exe run as a single process, or in a one-spawned-per-message 
sort (similar to smtp32.exe).
Can I use an "allow this message to process, but save a copy for further 
review" type action?
Does the HOLD action allow for easy respooling of an offending message?  

Does an imail serverwide or domainwide filter process the message before or 
after declude does?
Do you have (or can you suggest) any suggested configs (paid and non-fee) 
that have a low count of 'real' messages being trapped?
Do you have (or can you suggest) a list of "these hosts must be whitelisted 
to keep your users from killing you", or similar?
What (if any) are the known issues with integrating with McAfee's SMTP Virus 
Scan (not on same machine) ?
 
Thanks to all,
 
John

You could try "WHITELIST TODOMAIN example.com" ot "WHITELIST TO 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]", which would allow them to get all the spam they want.

The other option would be to have per-user or per-domain settings for your 
customer, which are set up to allow that spam through somehow, based on the 
tests that it is failing.

[Declude.JunkMail] Whitelist for only one domain?

2002-07-12 Thread Don Brown

I have a customer that wants to get mail from a certain Spammer.

How can I whitelist that address just for one domain and not for all
of our domains/customers?

The Per Domain configuration looks like it continues to use the one
global.cfg which is where the white list is located, but a change
there would apply to all domains, not just one certain domain.

The Declude Console was designed primarily for use with Declude Hijack, but 
can be used with the other Declude programs as well.  You can download it 
from http://www.declude.com/release/153/deccon.exe , and place it in your 
\IMail directory.  You then need to have a line "CONSOLE ON" in your 
global.cfg file, and the console will be started automatically as needed.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Negative Weight

2002-07-12 Thread R. Scott Perry


>In assigning negative weight should we assign the domain as it appears
>in the log?

First, I should clarify that there are two meanings of "negative 
weight".  One is the weight that is added to an E-mail when the E-mail does 
NOT fail a spam test (which is almost always 0).  The other is a standard 
weight, with a negative value (which is what you are talking about).

>Almost all newsletters from Microsoft are assigned a warning for REVDNS.
>So should we assign a negative 5 weigth to:
>
>Microsoft.com
>Or:
>Newsletters.Microsoft.com
>Or:
>delivery.pens.microsoft.com

You would use:

>X-Declude-Sender:
>[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
>[207.46.239.124]

Newsletters.Microsoft.com -- that's the one used in the return address, 
which is what Declude (and IMail) use.

So in a filter file, you could have "MAILFROM -5 CONTAINS 
newsletters.microsoft.com".  One important note here is that if the filter 
test itself has a weight assigned to it, you need to take that into 
effect.  For example, if you have "MYFILTER filter myfilterfile x 8 0", the 
MYFILTER test would cause the Microsoft E-mail to have a weight 3 higher 
than when it started (+8 for being listed in the filter, and -5 from the 
line that it matched).

Someone mentioned earlier that there was a way to invoke declude to
spawn a console in order to see what's happening in real time.  Is this
correct and how do you invoke this?

[Declude.JunkMail] Negative Weight

2002-07-12 Thread Kami Razvan

Hi;

In assigning negative weight should we assign the domain as it appears
in the log?

Almost all newsletters from Microsoft are assigned a warning for REVDNS.
So should we assign a negative 5 weigth to:

Microsoft.com
Or:
Newsletters.Microsoft.com
Or:
delivery.pens.microsoft.com

This is also true for e-Mails coming from AOL.

Thoughts?

Kami

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] I spammed myself again!

2002-07-12 Thread John Shacklett

My profound apologies to one and all. I'm not having a good morning [I had
an afternoon of hooky planned for the golf course, and it's not going to
happen after all], so I'm making bad decisions.

I could send the headers, but here are two lines from the declude log that
are more to the point:

07/11/2002 20:44:50 Q2676128 DSBL:4 SPAMCOP:8 BADHEADERS:8 FOREIGN:3
SNIFFER:11 MYFILTER:15 .  Total weight = 49
07/11/2002 20:44:50 Q2676128 This E-mail was whitelisted - automatically
passing all spam tests

And of course, I had my own domain whitelisted and the $domain business made
it look like my domain. Now I need to go browse the archives and reread the
posts from earlier in the week that I just skimmed that discussed this very
issue.

I'll shut up now.

Well a generic spam won't necessarily trigger the BADHEADERS or SPAMHEADERS
tests.  If you post the full headers of the E-mail, I could give you an

Here's the problem -- Declude JunkMail sees the E-mail as coming directly 
from your sendmail machine.  If you add a line "IPBYPASS 205.214.199.131" 
to the \IMail\Declude\global.cfg file, Declude JunkMail will see the IP 
that the spam was really sent from.

The new filtering that is in beta doesn't have a way to filter the headers 
yet, but it will.
