RE: [Declude.JunkMail] A Question of Ethics

2003-02-27 Thread Bill Naber
The recurring theme I'm seeing in this thread is a concern of being
implicated in the misuse of the Declude (or similar) tools to punish someone
wrongly.  That's a valid concern.

What's being left unsaid is a concern of previously established tools (such
as high speed internet access and Email) being misused and causing personal
harm.  The focus is on how the new tool is being used, not how the old tool
has been corrupted.

I see being part of an anti-pornography effort at work being very similar to
removing liquor from your house if you have a guest who's a recovering
alcoholic.  If you approach your task from the vantage of helping someone
AVOID a problem, you are taking the right action.

I believe the fact that some employers may misuse information to mistreat
employees is countered by the fact that some employees abuse the trust
employers place in them.  Your goal should be to be discerning on who you
choose to associate with so that you are not worrying about whether a tool
created for good is turned to evil.


Hope this helps,
-Bill Naber

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] A Question of Ethics


I realize this is two questions in one day, but its a slow list day, so:

Rather than deleting spam, I forward it tagged or to a shared mailbox,
clients choice.  I just found out that within a week of starting my my anti
spam service (delivery choice 2), a company fired an employee for receiving
tons of porn via email.  They also have web monitoring in place so this was
the last piece to their puzzle, but...

How does everyone feel about our role playing Big Brother against employees?

[Declude.JunkMail] Selective clean up of mail folders

2003-01-27 Thread Bill Naber
To keep me out of the spam review loop, I'm using the mailbox function to
move spam to a mailbox called Junk for each user.  If the users feel the
need to review/retrieve messages, they can access them via the web
interface.

My question, is there a clean-up utility along the lines of immsgexp.exe
that can be directed to only work on selected mailboxes?

I'd like to clean out any junk more than two or three weeks old, but can't
clean out the main or other mailboxes since I have some users that only use
the web interface and don't have any place to archive messages offline.

Thanks,
-Bill Naber

When setting up an external test, I understand you can check for either a
nonzero return code or a specific return code (e.g., Sniffer's return code
of 62 for scumware).

I have been experimenting with NoXMail which returns a range of values,
depending on the degree to which the message matches Adult/Spam
characteristics.

Is there a way to specify a return code range or cutoff in the external
definition such as 50?

Not yet, but that is something that we are working on.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] An optional web interface for Declude JunkMail?

2002-12-17 Thread Bill Naber
Could we take a lower tech route and use the program alias capabilities?
Make changing your spam settings similar to subscribing/unsubscribing from a
mailing list.

I picture something along the lines of sending a change request to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  I get back a form where I can change the
settings and reply.

It's not nearly as slick as a web interface, but it would work for everyone
(except maybe Imail gateway users) and not require adding any web server
apps to the mail server.

[Declude.JunkMail] HELOBOGUS Question

2002-10-24 Thread Bill Naber
I've just recently put junkmail into a test phase on my server and have
noticed that I am getting almost no hits on the HELOBOGUS test -
specifically one hit over a three day/10,000 message period.

From what I've been reading on this forum, I'd expect more than that and was
wondering what might be inhibiting the HELOBOGUS test.

Thanks,
-Bill Naber

[Declude.JunkMail] Spam test: nit-picking comment

2002-05-28 Thread Bill Naber

I like the spam test tool - I've gotten good use out of its virus cousin.

Next time you're working on the spam test page, you'll want to change the
label that reads Choose the eicar file to send: to Choose the spam file
to send.

I wouldn't bother most folks with such a minor detail, but you run a tight
ship and I figured you would want to fix it.
