Re: [Declude.JunkMail] PowerMTA

2010-01-13 Thread Matt

Dave,

A lot of the largest static spammer organizations use this software, but 
unfortunately a good number of fully legitimate companies use it also.  
PowerMTA also allows for full customization of the header formating and 
many spammers edit this to be nondescript as well.  I would guess that 
maybe 30% of static spam (where the spammer uses leased/owned IP space) 
utilizes PowerMTA.


I personally use some extensive filtering to categorize E-mail into bulk 
(anything sent in volume or automated) and personal E-mail (stuff sent 
by an E-mail/webmail client), and then I set my weighting tolerances 
differently as obviously stuff that isn't clearly non-forged personal 
E-mail is were the spam is.  Weighting PowerMTA more aggressively, 
though not blocking it outright is a start in that direction, but only 
part of the solution unless you wish to block some legitimate stuff as well.

Is powerMTA mainly a spam tool or do legitimate mailers use it too? Just
trying to decide if I can add some weight if that header exists.

Also of late I'm seeing a lot of spam containing ssl in part of the domain

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude Hijack

2010-01-13 Thread Mon Mariola - Rubén
Sorry, another question:

Is there any problem with incoming and outgoing emails if I restart 
decludeproc?

What problems can I find if I restart decludeproc?

I worry about this.

Thank you.
Ruben Marti.

  You cannot unblock a single IP. Restarting the decludeproc will reset the

Hijack is the solution to your problem. As we count the number of emails
from a specific IP or address with the latest release. When the hold2
threshold is reached these messages are quarantined, regardless of 
whether
they are whitelisted or authenticated.

We will be updating the Hijack manual with this latest release of 
4.10.42

The console is no longer used as this information has been replaced by 
the
\Declude\console.txt file. The ALLOWIP and ALLOWADDR are used if you 
want to
exempt users or IP's from triggering hijack.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude Hijack

Some time ago I'm declude user, initially with imail and in recent years
with SmarterMail. Now with SmarterMail 5.5 and Declude 4.10.42.

Now I have a problem not solved. Some adware, or viruses, steal the 
account
settings of outlook express to my customers. So my server sends mail 
without

checking because they are authenticated. Every time this happens I have 
to
block the email account of my client, I contact him to remove the adware
from your computer and when I confirmed that your computer is 
disinfected to

reactivate your account. This is being increasingly common and this week 
has

come to me SenderBase rate of poor reputation.

Does anyone else have this problem? How do you solve?

I have tried using Declude Hijack, but I can not figure out how to 
unblock
an IP that is blocked for exceeding the limit 2.


From Hijack manual:
"Since the spammer has passed the 2nd threshold, he is banned, and all 
his
Email gets held permanently in \ spool \ spam \ HOLD2. He will only be 
able
to send mail again if the Declude Console is closed ... In which case he
will get banned again as soon as he passed the 2nd threshold again. "

What is "Declude Console"?

Declude Hijack seems like a good option in theory but in my case I have
clients that send emails via Outlook Express and CCO. I think I can 
solve
this problem by creating a list of users to avoid them with ALLOWIP or
ALLOWADDR.

Thank you.
Ruben Marti.
