[Declude.JunkMail] automated response
I am going to be out of the office most of Friday the 22nd of December. Unfortunately, yesterday I had to drive back to Marbella from Madrid to reboot a router and am now driving back to Madrid again today. This means any pending work I had scheduled for yesterday is now moved to Tommorrow. --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

[Declude.JunkMail] Solution for tooo much junkmail?
We're all seeing it... My log files have increased over 30% in recent times as I'm sure yours have too. Through due diligence we stop an awful lot, but much still gets by. But we're being active after the fact. Is there anyone who has knowledge of what virus and/or trojan is causing all of this great increase in activity?? The biggest thing we do know is that the majority of it is coming from our neighbors: the home-based systems on dial-up, DSL and cable. I'd like to be more proactive and go on an education crusade to provide folks with the knowledge of how to detect if their systems are infected and what to do about it, but I have no idea of what to look for or what software to use to fix it. Anyone with some leads on finding the ultimate sources that's creating all these zombies?? ~Joe --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

[Declude.JunkMail] Upgraded to Security Suite - Whitelist stopped working.
When I previously ran the 3.x version of Declude Junkmail, I used an external file for my white-list. I transferred it over to the new Security Suite but haven't had any luck, it just gets skipped and whitelisted addresses get tested like any other. In my Global.cfg file I have the line: WHITELISTFILE D:\Imail\Declude\filters\whitelist.txt In that file I have a few domains but mainly email addresses listed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc... I'd check the docs but... :) Any suggestions?

I'd like to be more proactive and go on an education crusade to provide folks with the knowledge of how to detect if their systems are infected and what to do about it, but I have no idea of what to look for or what software to use to fix it. You're going to educate: 1. Little ole' Mrs. Smith who only uses her computer to view pictures of her grandkids and to get email. 2. Tom the all-league quarter back football star who only does research for football scholarships. Well yeah also to chat with his friends. And do keep up on the latest tunes. 3. The geek up the street who listens to Leo Laporte and chats about how so many people are on the Internet and don't have a clue about which MB is the best for the hot on-line games and how they waste so much money on things like AV and firewalls. 4. Mrs. Jones who searches for new recopies about fried dumplings and to get the latest entertainment world gossip. 5. The small business owner who gets email and his website as part of the $35 per month DSL package at the shop but his workers don't go on the Internet so there is nothing to worry about. More power to ya. Anyone with some leads on finding the ultimate sources that's creating all these zombies?? And if you could then what? Unless you want to be a vigilante the government (politicians, courts, lawyers, no wait not lawyers they stick up for them) will just shake their finger at them and say No No No you must be good boys and girls) Remember people, if the battle against spam and viruses was that easy, the war would be over by now.

Setup a blacklist and start blocking the IP ranges of the Home-Based systems. Take the offending IP addresses and use ARIN to look up the ip range of the offending ISP. You may even be able to call the ISP to get their non-business ip ranges.

[Declude.JunkMail] Seeking IMail Expert and Consultant for Hire - Follow Up
Remember this post I made back on November 10, 2006 (see below)? A lot of list members have since e-mailed asking if I ever found someone and how it was coming along. In follow-up to those same folks on the list we finally completed upgrade to our Declude installs from 1.82 to 4.3.23. Once again (since Scott left) I am comfortable with controlling Spam using Declude. We remain at IMail 8.22 until such time I feel comfortable their Web Mail and other Web based security/functionality issues get resolved. I want to thank those who specifically responded offering help (Darrell with Invariant, Dave Doherty, and Matt with Mail Pure), and also all the folks on this list who have provided help to me over the years. All of you are the best in the business and I would never have remained a Declude client for the last 5 years without same. Folks like Sandy, John, Len, Doug, Andy, Darin (and may others) who make posts make it possible to keep learning moving forward. Darrell with Invariant (http://www.invariantsystems.com) was the first to respond and offered his help free of charge. I was not looking for free help, but a consultant to work with. Regardless, I decided to take him up on his offer and insisted to compensate something for his time. He never did give me a fee or schedule, so I came up with one on my own and he was worth every penny and more!!! One of my major concerns was losing the ability reviewing False Positives (as I was using the old Spam Review). That came to rest when I discovered his Invariant False Positive Review software product. It is the best tool I have ever used and loaded with all kinds of features like on-the-fly reporting to Sniffer, Filter file updating, DNS lookups, and a lot more. If anyone needs a cool tool to review your held Spam and built-in tools to manage same, I highly recommend this FP Review product. Invariant also has several other good products I strongly recommend including invURIBL which is also helping us tag Spam. Darrell never really pushed his products on us, but rather kept to helping me better understand our E-mail System, how best to use and configure Declude, Sniffer, Filters, Weighting, and more. I made the decision to purchase his products without pressure. In summary, based on number of servers, accounts, and volume, it was not cost-effective for us to farm out our Spam filtering. I strongly considered doing this and it may be the most appropriate for other companies with different circumstances. I needed to learn how to manage on our own with what limited resources we had in place. Darrell was very sensitive to this, our CPU usage, and other items. As we grow, we may need to implement a Gateway server like IMGate, Alligate, ASSP, etc.(all of which I am studying) , but for now we are hanging in there (about 60K messages daily on one server, 40K on another, across multiple domains, about 3500 users). I am also open to other products like MX Guard, but we have invested so much in Declude it is difficult to switch at this point. We are stopping lots more Spam thanks to Darrell's assistance and strongly recommend him to anyone needing an E-mail server consultant. Anyone interested in details, please e-mail me off-list and be glad to share. Seasons greetings and peace to all!

Please contact me off list if interested in helping teach this old dog new tricks. Below is some info about our situation. With ongoing issues, bugs, and version changes (both IMail and Declude), we need help with not only decision making moving forward, but the best configurations for our clients filtering Spam and Virus'. All our licenses and SA's are up-to-date, but we remain at IMail 8.22 and Declude 1.82. Our license renewal dates are forthcoming for IMail in December, and Declude next year. Product knowledge with great results of other technologies like MXGuard, invURIBl, ASSP, ClamAV, Log Analyzers, etc. is desired, as we are certainly would consider if better alternatives can be proven. I recently tried implementing MXGuard and invURIBL with limited success and reverted back to our original set-up, as it seemed to be catching more Spam. Not sure it was these products fault, but perhaps myself in the set-up? We have been using IMail/Declude since early version 4.0 days and with mostly acceptable filtering results until these last few years, and growing worse in recent months with .gif and stock spams. I currently need some concentrated help with set-up, upgrades, and guidance. While we are a small hosting and Coldfusion Dev firm
[Declude.JunkMail] Virus sneaking past Declude/AVG/F-PROT?
I've got a single mailbox on my Imail server configured to get all the SPAM. It's then processed in TheBat! (Exciting, I know. Take a moment and revel.) Anyhow, my Symantec Antivirus is snagging a slew of Trojan.Dowiex!inf which it identifies as a low risk Trojan horse. I've got Declude 4 running both AVG and F-Prot and it snuck past.
