Hi Rick,

FYI, there is also a test in Alligate for this that may nail them
earlier in the process.

It might help to open task manager and reduce the service priority for

Darrell, I agree ... just wish I knew what was affecting it.



Another response suggested the file system ... and I noticed the comment from 
the Sniffer people about NTFS.



We have had some bad sectors on our hard drive starting about a few weeks ago 
... Ran chkdsk etc and that seemed to have caught them, ran a defrag session 
today ...

I order today a new Barracuda ES2 drive for the server, which will arrive 
Monday and I'll attempt to clone.



Linda @ Declude suggested I might be having a bad network card go bad, which 
she thinks is attributing to the failed RBL issues, but I don't think that 
would affect the IMAP usage.



Short of installing a new network card / drive ... any other thoughts what to 
try?

Yes, technically, it would match 0.0.0.0 through 999.999.999.999 but 
with HTTP:// it wouldn't really matter and it is very efficient.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] MXRate-Allow

Andy,

This address shows 481 reported false positives from actual recipients. 
It also shows that 5957 individual recipients have added this address to 
their Alligate whitelists.


But, it also shows that it has failed 81 tarpits and 422 greylist tests.

So the results are a little ambiguous. Right now the current MXRate 
recommendation is "No recommendation" ;)

[Declude.JunkMail] Upgrading Declude Configs - Which Tests are valid?

2006-11-01 Thread Brian T.
I spent this afternoon cleaning up my global.cfg file and I still have some 
tests listed that no longer show up in the latest config file from Declude.


I was wondering which of the following, if any are still active tests?

DSBL , SENDERDB-BLACK, SENDERDB-SUSPICIOUS, MAILPOLICE-BULK, 
MAILPOLICE-PORN, FIVETEN-SPAM, FIVETEN-BULK, FIVETEN-MULTISTAGE, 
FIVETEN-SPAMSUPPORT, FIVETEN-MISC, FIVETEN-SINGLESTAGE, FIVETEN-FREE, 
AHBL-RELAYS, AHBL-PROXIES, AHBL-SOURCES, AHBL-PROVISIONAL, AHBL-FORMMAIL, 
AHBL-DUL, NJABL-DYNABLOCK, NJABL-RELAYS, NJABL-DUL, NJABL-SOURCES, 
NJABL-MULTI, NJABL-FORMMAIL, and NJABL-PROXIES
Are any of these tests duplicates, as in basically using the same data or 
basically the same test?


Thanks for the help,

Brian T.

  IMail made changes to their product in 8.22 making 
  Declude 2.x and prior incompatible with IMail this is an IMail issue not 
  Declude. We therefore had to change the way Declude worked in order to

There is a minor compatability problem with

[Declude.JunkMail] ANN: SMTP Gateway

2006-01-25 Thread Brian



Hi 
Everyone,
 
A 
couple of weeks ago I posted a message regarding our SMTP Gateway. Several users 
responded and have been using the beta version with no major issues. I 
appreciate the responses. We now have the Alligate SMTP Gateway available 
for evaluation for anyone that is interested. We could also use another beta 
tester or two, preferably someone who uses multiple or backup mail 
servers.
 
We 
have decided to make a FREE version available as well. It is limited to a single 
destination server and a maximum of 5 concurrent connections. For simple 
installations supporting a single mail server and doing less than 10,000 
messages per day, the free (Standard) version may be all you need and there is 
no cost whatsoever.
 
The 
Alligate SMTP Gateway has numerous features to help with spam prevention that 
can be applied at the SMTP level before it ever gets to your mail server and 
Declude. If you use this with MXRate, and employ the tarpitting and/or blocking 
options, you can reduce spam volume by 60%+ immediately.
 
We 
now have an informational page and on-line help with screenshots, so we 
would like to invite you to check it out. The screenshots and help topics will 
give you a good idea of its' capabilities. We will also be adding more technical 
details over the next couple of weeks, including information for programmers who 
may be interested in incorporating third party external anti-spam and virus 
programs.
 
Main 
info page: http://www.alligate.com/smtpgateway.htm

I can confirm 
that.
 
If a single email 
address is white listed, then all of them get white listed.
 
The solution was a line 
like this : BYPASSWHITELIST  bypasswhitelist  
45 
6  
0  0
 
If an email was over 
weight 45, AND it also had 6 or more recipients, than it bypassed the 
white-listing and checked it normally.
 
I never tried to do it 
with individual config files.. But that might work, if it didn’t affect all the 
recipients.

Hi Brian,

 

Yes, this can be done with the Pro version. 
You can have per-user configurations. You can't not have Declude scan the mail, 
but you can set this individual's configuration to ignore all test results and 
deliver the mail. As far as I know, this shouldn't have any affect on other 
recipients of the email.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT - SMTP Gateway

2005-12-29 Thread Brian

 

Hi Sandy, 

I apologize if this post offended you. I had no intention of posting anything 
that
might be remotely construed as commercial spam. I used Declude for quite 
awhile, and
still use Declude AV. I have monitored this list for years, not to upsell 
anything to
anyone, but because it is one of the best technical resources on the net for 
guys
that are in the trenches fighting spam every day. Declude users are, by and 
large,
come of the most knowledgeable mail administrators around and the discussions 
are
relevant and timely.

For what is worth, there are a few Declude users here that know that anti-spam
development is more of a personal crusade for me that a profit making venture. 
We are
probably not even close to breaking even on anti-spam technology development, 
however
I am fortunate in that our CYBERsitter product is profitable enough that I am 
able to
indulge in development projects that are not profitable.

You are correct that we published a Declude add-in for awhile, however many of 
the
functions we wanted to get into would have simply been duplications of what 
Declude
already did (and does) well. I withdrew the Declude version primarily because 
one of
my goals was to come up with more of a "hands off" system and this is 
definitely not
what Declude users are interested in. I made the decision to withdraw the Imail
specific version because I specifically did not want to appear that we were 
trying to
poach users from the Declude user base or to try and compete with Declude in 
any way.
I posted the message yesterday because I genuinely thought this may be of some
interest to Declude users. We have no desire to compete with Declude, rather we 
have
a mutual desire to help administrators deal with the onslaught of garbage they 
have
to deal with on a daily basis.

I also think it is worth noting that we have spent many thousands of dollars
developing our MXRate blacklist system. While we do use it for our own 
customers, we
also provided a free IP4R system for public use. It gets about 110,000,000 hits 
a day
and the only place we ever announced the availability of this free, public 
service
was here on the Declude list. So, I can only assume that a large amount of the
traffic is from Declude users. We have a new $6000 server devoted just to 
serving the
free MXRate service, plus the ongoing bandwidth and maintenance costs. No one 
ever
asked us to do this, and I simply felt that by doing so I could contribute to 
the
Declude community in this way. Since I own the company, these costs basically 
come
out of my pocket.

I am disappointed that you feel my contribution is unworthy.

Brian

[Declude.JunkMail] OT - SMTP Gateway

2005-12-28 Thread Brian


Hi Everyone,

Some of you folks know me; we published a Declude add-in for awhile and also 
publish
the MXRate IP4R system that many of you currently use.

We are looking for a few beta testers for our SMTP Gateway. It does a lot of 
cool
stuff and runs as a Windows service. It has been a part of our Alligate product 
for
over 3 years, but we are going to make the SMTP Gateway available separately as 
a
stand alone product.

Rather than list everything it does here, I put together a little info page at:

http://www.alligate.com/gwbeta.htm

This is not a beta in the traditional sense. The SMTP gateway is in production 
usage
by many ISPs and has been for over 3 years. What we would like to do is uncover 
any
issues that may arise from using it in a standalone mode.

One interesting thing is that it was designed specifically for use with an 
external
spam filtering program. We use a file pair system very similar to Imail's "Q" 
and "D"
files and they can be initially saved to a directory for third party 
processing, then
moved to our "Queue" for delivery.

I am hoping that if we can generate some interest from the Declude community, we
might see some interest by Barry in providing direct Declude support for our 
gateway.
This would make Declude 100% mail server neutral, and it could be used with any 
mail
server on any platform. It also supports routing to multiple mail servers, so 
it can
easily be used in mixed environments. You would no longer be limited to Imail or
Smartermail. 

We are currently finishing the GUI to control the gateway and then it will be 
ready
for release to beta users. The target date is Jan 10, 2006.

Please take a look at the info page above and if there is any interest, please 
feel
free to contact me directly.

Thanks

Brian Milburn

Given the fact that these types of tests (keyword,

that you can clean up a keyword list and remove the ones that are not doing

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] November 2003 Spam Statistics

2003-12-05 Thread brian

Here are the stats for Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday we were testing some
things the stats were skewed. This was for our main solidoak.com domain mail
server (general business, not tech support). Our tech support server lets more
spam through, however we can only do limited header type spam checking because
of the type of content the message bodies might contain. People are reporting
porno web sites all the time to our CYBERsitter support accounts.

For Tuesday, there was 1 false positive (Delivery Req) and 4 spams that got
through. So with 5139 incoming connection requests, and 4 spams that got
through, it was 99.92% effective. At least for that day ;) Some days we don't
get any spam, but on bad days as many as 20 may get by. Rarely does any single
user get more than 1. But as you might guess, this level is not much to test
with.

The first set of stats (Alligate Statistics) are from the filtering module
that is similar to the Declude version and will (eventually) be identical.

The second set of stats (Alligate SMTP Daily Statistics) is an overall summary
of delivery. A lot of spam is stopped at the "front door" by the SMTP servive
using the tarpitting and dictionary attack defense mechanisms among others.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] November 2003 Spam Statistics

2003-12-05 Thread brian

Actually what Chris was *supposed* to say was that the gateway version of
Alligate does a much better job than the Declude version, not Declude itself.
The Declude version is now outdated and had not been updated for several
months. The Declude version was not dumped however it is not currently
available. We won't offer something for sale unless it is the best we can do.

We got in a couple of new copies of IMail last week so we can set up new test
platforms. We have been unable to test the Declude version because our gateway
now handles all incoming mail and there is no spam coming into our mail
servers to test. The new test platforms will allow us to move some domains out
of the normal loop and we will be able to update the Declude version again
(shortly we hope).

This is Brian Thompson with an update:

Mail server appears to be back up and running.  Thanks for all the help.

Still don't know what the problem was, but my declude log shows no entries
from 4:23 pm until 11:58 pm.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] sniffer

2003-12-01 Thread Brian Baker
I have seen a drop in spam by about 30% at least. Sniffer just added enough
extra weight to catch some "low weight spammers". At first I had a problem with
the size of log files, but now, with the new version, the log files are really
small and easier to maintain. Overall, I would rate sniffer at the same level as
Declude for program function and support.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Alligate

2003-10-10 Thread brian


This is correct. We stopped offering the IMail specific (non Declude) version
of Alligate a couple of months ago. We have also suspended free trials of the
Declude add-in until we can bring it up to date so that the same detection
methods are used by both the Declude version and our gateway version. We are
currently spending too much time maintaining conditional pattern files mainly
for about 8 or 10 registered Declude version users. There is not really that
much interest in this as a Declude test it seems... lots of free trials, but
very few sales. We have far more invested in free trial tech support than the
revenue this has generated.

The Declude version of Alligate is now lacking about 50% if the refinements
and enhancements that we have incorporated into the gateway version. Until we
can bring the code up to date, it just doesn't make sense to continue to offer
free trials and provide free tech support until we are working with the same
code base for both versions of the product.

Re: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OSRELAY question.

2003-08-27 Thread brian
Hi,

Thanks for your interest in Alligate. We recommend that you first look over
the product documentation so that you will have a good understanding of
Alligate's capabilities and installation requirements.

The documentation can be downloaded at the following address:

http://www.alligate.com/downloads.asp

Of particular interest to you would probably be the initial sections on setup
and operation. There is a considerable amount of detail on customizing,
however it will be extremely efficient with no customization whatsoever.

Please take a few minutes and peruse the documentation, and if this sounds
like it will do the job for you, please lets us know and we will mail
temporary license codes to you for evaluation.

We will be happy to supply you with a free 30 day license so that you can
evaluate the product. In order to generate the license and key codes for you
we will need to know the IP address for the computer you will be using to test
Alligate. We will also need to know the number of domains you will be
processing. These are both used in license key generation.

Pricing is determined by the number of domains your are receiving mail for.
Licensing costs are available at http://www.alligate.com/pricing.htm

Thanks again,

Brian Milburn

You are correct that Alligate will accumulate scores on many of the same
things as Declude will. This is basically the same engine as we use on the
gateway product, but it is 100% stand alone so it must do everything. The
technical violations are some of the best spam indicators there are, however,
you are racking up double scores.

You can rely more on the heuristics by decreasing the values of certain
Alligate tests or setting them to 0 (zero). Most of the hard penalty tests
support this, as well as most of the heuristic tests where the score is
variable depending on the degree of failure.

The full IMail version does everything and will work in Declude as well. But
it costs more. Many Declude version users wanted scaled down, more affordable
"Declude test only" version, so that's we we did. Alligate really depends on
training to achieve the best results. This involves automatic whitelisting and
users responses to digests. Unfortunately, using it as a test in Declude
limits it's full functionality, however properly adjusted, it will still
provide several features that don't exist in any other product. You just need
to figure out what features are important to your flow, and which aren't and
adjust the configuration accordingly.

In our gateway version the false positive rate is usually in the area of 1 in
3000 messages after about 30 days of "training". In the gateway version this
is all done without administrator intervention, but the same results should be
possible in the Declude version, except you have to do the "training". And,
you save lots of money :)

You will find this list to be extremely helpful. As I am sure Scott would
agree, there are people here that know the products almost better than we do
ourselves. They have this down to a fine science, and the advice you can get
here will help you get the most for the least. Most Declude users I have
worked with are "hands on" people and know their business.

[Declude.JunkMail] OT SMS Spam

Sorry for the OT post. Just curious is anyone else has started to get SMS spam
on their cell phones. We have been getting them for the last 2 days on Nextel
and ATT. About 30 so far. All the SMS messages start with the word NIGERIA.
This is a dismal prospect if we can now expect regular SMS messages from Dr.
Messumaba Bambassa, solicitor for the late president, Wahabbee Gumaspamasse :(

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Tar Pitting

2003-06-18 Thread brian

Hi Bill, 

We were testing Alligate at a sustained rate of 8 message per second, relaying
to 4 servers, all with different email server software. We ran this test for 4
hours. One was running IMail with Declude, SpamManager, and Declude Virus.
Each server was receiving 2 messages per second, or 7200 per hour. The IMail
server (as configured) was the second slowest. It was ~3000 messages behind
after the first hour, and had to reboot 2 or 3 times as I recall during the
test. It about 3 hours to recover after we stopped sending mail for Alligate
to deliver the balance to the IMail server. The only one that could handle the
load was a Postfix server, and it even fell behind about 200-300 messages.

The messages we were sending were made up of 25% ~2k, 25% ~10k, 25% ~25k and
25% had a 100k EXE attachment. Because IMail was the only one running virus
checking and secondary spam scanning, it is probably not a fair comparison,
however weren't really trying to benchmark the servers, only our product. We
were able to deliver all messages successfully to the IMail server despite the
reboots and problems, and that was more the point of the test.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Tar Pitting

2003-06-18 Thread brian

Alligate for example, and I am sure most other gateways should level this out
for you anyway, and I don't think tarpitting would make a whole lot of
difference. When we are forwarding to IMail, we set the forwarding threads
fairly conservatively, and send mail only at the speed that IMail can handle
it. It is spooled and send at a constant rate. I have seen the queue get
backed up during heavy periods, and then clear up when the load lightens. We
crashed IMail (sent processor load to 100%) a couple of times during testing
by sending it too much mail and it simply stopped responding.

Tarpitting is more to discourage spammers from sending to your server
(hopefully) and to reduce their output. We have seen a lot of them time out
after 30 seconds. Some of these are home made spam blaster programs that are
single threaded, do their own MX resolution, and can only send out messages
one at a time. It really puts the hurt on them when it takes 5-10 minutes to
send one message, so they tend to put timeouts in them and disconnect.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Tar Pitting

2003-06-18 Thread brian

I had one customer that told me that he had over 5000 simultaneous open
connections with no problems and a large number of these were being tarpitted.
I have seen postings in newsgroups that claim to have had 7000 open
connections on Win2k Pro. I have not yet been able to determine a hard number
for this and don't have enough machines here to create that many connections.
We have been able to get up to about 1200 or so.

[Declude.JunkMail] OT - Challenge/Response Systems

2003-06-14 Thread brian

Here is something for your weekend list of things to ponder...

I heard from a potential customer (small ISP) yesterday that tried a
Challenge/Response system for 4 hours.

Here is what happened (as best as I can explain it).

He implements the Challenge/Response system.

A few of his users send emails to others whose ISPs are also using a
(presumably different) Challenge/Response system.

The remote systems receive the messages his users sent, and send out Challenge
messages. 

His server received the Challenge messages and it sent out Challenge messages
of its own back to the address on remote server that sent the Challenge
message. No human ever sees any of the messages.

This is bad enough, but it also works in reverse, and this is how he found
about the problem. 

Users of some remote system using Challenge/Response send his users messages
and his system generates Challenge messages. The remote server receives the
Challenge messages and sends new Challenge messages back to his server. His
server sends back bounce messages because his Challenge messages were sent
from a "no-reply" account. Then his server receives Challenge messages to the
bounce messages and generates bounce messages of it's own.

He notices that there are several hundred Challenge and bounce messages going
both ways repeatedly after a few hours, and he has to shut it down and kill
the reply accounts to stop the loop.

Don't know if it actually stopped any spam ;)

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SpamManager question

2003-06-12 Thread brian

Hi Fred, 

Canned message follows...


Thanks for your interest in Alligate for IMail. We recommend that you first
look over the product documentation so that you will have a good understanding
of Alligate's capabilities and installation options.

The documentation can be downloaded at the following address:

http://www.alligate.com/imail/downloads.asp

We will be happy to supply you with a free 30 day license so that you can
evaluate the product. In order to generate the license and key codes for you
we will need to know the IP address for the computer you will be using to test
Alligate.

For the IMail stand alone version, pricing is determined by the number of
users your are receiving mail for. For the Declude version, it is a flat fee
for unlimited use.

Licensing costs are available at http://www.alligate.com/imail/pricing.htm

Thanks again,

Brian Milburn
Solid Oak Software

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SpamManager question

2003-06-11 Thread brian

It's going to be a whole lot better here in a day or two. I've incorporated
all the new stuff we put into the Alligate Gateway into the version for
Declude. There is HTML density testing, compression testing, repeat spammer
tracking, foolproof obfuscation detection and removal, and a lot more.

There are also better pattern file features such as word proximity checking
where words can be check to see if they are within x number if characters of
each other. This is useful for stuff like checking to see if the characters
"XXX" are within 20 characters of "http://"; for instance. It is also useful
for giving negative weights to pattern matches that have words like "Shipping"
"Tax" and "Total" within say 120 characters of each other indicating it is
probably a receipt or invoice for something.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] observation to share...

2003-05-27 Thread brian

Scott, does IMail do it's ip4r checking after the whole message is received
and the connection terminated or does check on the HELO/EHLO and send an error
code back to the remote server?

If it does that latter, the remote timeout settings may be a concern. I have
been tracking the tarpitting features of our gateway and found that a lot of
servers time out at 30 seconds, and more at 60. If it is a spammer then no big
deal, but if it is a legitimate mail server, and you are performing a lot of
ip4r tests, some messages may be delayed a long time until redelivery is
attempted, or maybe never received at all. I have seen some tests take as long
as 10 seconds, but these instances were generally due to very heavy traffic on
our end, or some other transient network condition. 

If IMail is checking on HELO, then using Declude for these tests would
eliminate this risk.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] email confirmation nightmare started...

2003-05-27 Thread brian


Boy, tell me about it. We have been having this problem for a few weeks now.
The big problem is that we automatically send out serial numbers for our
software when users order on line. When the users don't get them, they call us
on the 800 number and generally ask a few other questions while they are at
it. We have had serial number calls turn into 30 minute calls all because of
this challenge/response business. I figure each one of these costs an average
of $18-$20. We are now getting between 5-8 per day. It adds up fast.

Gotcha.

I've been using SMTP32.exe (not the daemon).

I just wanted to check because every time I make the change it stops delivery (even 
after I roll the SMTP service within Imail, which does start up successfully).

I gotcha.

That could be a problem.

We do have about 5000 + web mail users.

Could this explain why when I make the changes email stops being
delivered?

I've checked the hold(s) and there is nothing being held, but maybe the
processing is delaying delivery?

It depends on how many Web Mail users you have.

If you are an ISP with 5000 Web Mail users, it is quite possible for 100
of those to send 1 message each with a 30 minute time period, there by
tripping hold 2 and effectively black listing the server IP address.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] HiJack Not Working ?

2003-03-27 Thread Brian Cunningham
Really dumb questions?

Is the syntax of renamed files case sensitive?

Does the Daisychain call go within the hijack.cfg file or another config
file?

Does the Daisychain call need quotes or simply just a call out?

Sorry for the dumb questions, but these spammers keep creating new
accounts (found another one this morning).  We're killing their IP's,
but they keep coming in from other systems.

I would be awesome if I could get hijack to work with web messaging.

Sandy, do you have this config working on your Imail system?  If so,
what version of Imail are you running?

Thanks again.

Try  implementing  the  DAISYCHAIN  function  as  follows:

(b) RENAME SMTP32.EXE to IPSMTP32.EXE

I'll let you guys know what happens.

In regards to the web messaging possible trap, Do I really need to up

It's always been my understanding that web messaging shouldn't send out
as much email as frequently than an email client (Outlook, etc.)

Thoughts?

Wait, the DAISYCHAIN option has a big effect on any one hosting lots of
users using Web Mail.

Anyone thinking about this needs to consider the following:

If you have 1000 users using web mail, it is very likely that just
normal usage of those users will trigger the hold values.

If you are going to do this, you will have to adjust the values upwards
significantly so as not to trap normal usage.

Correct, or am I off my rocker?

The reverse dns is because of a nat'ing scheme we have behind two firewalls and a load 
director (posts in the past have already described our config).

The freaking SpamCop is because I apparently have Spammers sending an incredible 
amount of spam through our web messaging (i.e. bypassing hijack and why I'm posting it 
as an issue).  How is that even possible?

The first thing to do is make sure that Declude Hijack is running (you
can 
type "\IMail\Declude -diag", *without* making any changes, and you
should 
see a line "Declude Hijack Status: Registered").

Next, you would want to check your \IMail\Declude\hijack.cfg file to
make 
sure that the settings are reasonable (the default settings are 
"RELAYTHRESHOLD1  10  20" and "RELAYTHRESHOLD230
80", 
which allow up to 80 E-mails to be sent within 30 minutes).

Finally, you would check the Declude Hijack log file to see what it says

about the E-mails.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Habeas headers

2003-03-25 Thread brian

Several porn spammers are also using them. They claim that they are using
verified opt-in lists, however we have seen several reports from customers
that claim they never opted-in for any adult oriented material, however may
have for other things. They are apparently buying their "opt-in" lists from
other sources. We have one knowledgable customer that said his wife signed up
for some TV shopping network newsletter, and within a week started getting
adult messages marked with the Habeas headers.

I have had several conversations with the Habeas people. While they claim they
will go after violators of the Habeas copyright, I still have not figured out
how they will stop spammers that buy what they claim to be legitimate opt-in
lists. 

Here's the biggest problem with Habeas. Once the mark is abused,
administrators will stop whitelisting it. They are not going to wait until the
legal staff at Habeas is able to stop the use of the mark by a particular
spammer. That could take months or longer. This will make Habeas completely
ineffective almost overnight.

One thing they could do is to add an additional header and force their
licensees to use it. It would classify the source as being the original opt-in
list owner, or a "business partner", meaning someone who bought or rented the
list. At least this would help to identify the sender as being the source that
you contacted rather then someone who you didn't.

Actually, my opinion is that this concept will flame out long before it is
ever determined to be useful.

[Declude.JunkMail] Interesting test results

2003-03-24 Thread brian

Hi Scott and all,

We added a test to SpamManager that has produced some really interesting
results.

What we are doing is to track the 2000 (user configurable) most recent spammer
IP addresses. The list is maintained as an MRU style list (sorted with the
most recent at the top). If incoming messages reach a user defined score, the
IP address of the spammer is added to the list.

As part of our testing procedure for our own lists, we validate the results of
our spam trap accounts and internal email accounts against most of the public
DNS lookup databases and the 3 we subscribe to mostly to determine their
weighting.

Prior to implementing this test, roughly 40% of spam we received also got hits
from one or more of the DNS lookup databases with SpamCop having the best
results (false positives ignored).

Here is what we found. After about 3 weeks of data collection, only about 1 in
400 incoming spams is identified by a DNS lookup, and NOT on the list of the
2000 most recent spammers. Also, of all the spams we receive on all accounts,
about 43% are on the recent spammer list, meaning that almost half of the
spams we receive are from senders that have spammed us before.

In analyzing this data, we found that spam trap accounts that were set up at
the same time, and use the same methods, have a totally different mailing list
distribution after a couple of months. This analysis supports our supposition
that a locally maintained list of spammers is going to be a lot more accurate
than some centrally maintained DNS lookup database. Also we routinely get lots
of spam reported to us that we have never seen, also indicating that spam
mailing lists evolve into lists that tend to be very unique, and that a few
originators are responsible for a majority of spam for each account.

I was thinking that it would probably be a relatively simple matter to add
such a test in a future version of declude. If an incoming message reached a
certain weight, it could be added to a recent spammer list. This list could be
checked along with other internal tests _before_ DNS tests are performed, and
this could push a weighting up high enough that external DNS lookups could be
skipped. 

The effect of this is that by using a individualized IP address scheme,
processing time per message could be greatly reduced resulting in less
resource problems, and faster delivery times.

Anyway, I thought this would make an interesting topic for discussion.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] How did this Spammer get through?

2003-03-12 Thread Brian Cunningham
What's strange is that the only thing consistent around all of the spam emails is the 
IP address 169.207.38.237, which is listed with SpamCop.

Should declude pick that up?  I've got spamcop listed as an automatic hold, but 
somehow he keeps getting through.

Thanks.

[Declude.JunkMail] How did this Spammer get through?

2003-03-12 Thread Brian Cunningham
I've got several held emails from a spammer trying to use our system for
relay.

I've got the box locked down to only accept relay from "authenticated"
users, but somehow this guy got through.

Luckily, I've got hijack on the box, which has blocked all of his
emails.

Here's an example of the email he's trying to relay through:

That will work fine, just so long as you don't have any other

that identify themselves as "imail.fament.com".  If your IMail server is

the only one that does, the filter will work fine.

Correct.  There might be odd cases where the IMail server would connect
to 
itself, but if that happens, you've got another problem on your hands
(as 
it would cause a mail loop).

Re: DSN:Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Whitlist Compiler

2003-02-28 Thread Brian Milburn

The address is http://www.spammanager.com

It might be a competing product for Declude, but it is not intended to be. It
is a different approach however it also supports being used as a Declude test.
Imail is not really our intended market, however since we use IMail ourselves,
it was a natural place to start. (I hate #%&&$#%* SPAM!) We use it here in
conjunction with Declude products however it will work alone.

Our main push is going to be the gateway version which will work with any mail
server and numerous mail servers at the same time, and is about 8-10x faster
that using it in conjunction with IMail in our tests so far. We are also
planning on adding support for Declude Junkmail and Spam in the gateway
version as soon as we finish our initial alpha testing.

There is a Declude specific version of SpamManager now available that does not
have all the bells and whistles and simply returns result codes for Declude
JunkMail. It is much less expensive.

I would imagine that any product that logs any activity could be considered
"spyware" in certain circumstances. This includes IMail, Declude, Exchange, MS
Proxy, anything that logs activity. There is a huge difference between
products that log activity and "spyware". For example, there is a product that
takes low res screen shots of the computer and allows the parent, employer, or
other "supervisorial" person to playback everything that was done. Several of
CYBERsitter's competitors have built in keyboard logging that keeps a record
of everything typed.

Although I am sure this has cost us sales and review points, we have
consistently refused to incorporate similar functions into CYBERsitter. We
have been asked thousands of times to provide functions to capture email
messages, and capture instant messaging content. Certainly this is possible,
but we won't do that either although there are other products have this
capability. In my opinion, these are "spyware" products. Our primary purpose
in keeping logs is for support purposes. The user's purpose is probably
different, but here again, this is a common function of all "tools" that
manage or distribute content.

We also track users who come to our web sites. We know what pages they visit,
their browser versions, IP addresses, locale, referrers, and operating
systems. We, like tens of thousands of other online retailers, use this
information for improving traffic flow, determining user interest, and fine
tuning our marketing. So are we spying on our customers?

I can use the logs generated by IMail to spy on people as easily as any
spyware product. I can see who sent what to who, where and when. Does this
make it spyware? I don't think so. You can "hold" any message that meets
certain criteria with Declude and the administrator can read the entire
message. It doesn't have to be spam. Does this make Declude spyware too?

I think that an overly broad interpretation of what is "spyware" is foolish,
no matter how the data is used. Virtually every Internet related application
is designed to manage or regulate the distribution or reception of data in
some way. Tools that log activity are absolutely necessary. Tools that are
intentionally designed to invade a users privacy are quite another thing
entirely.

This is incorrect. We do not make spyware. That is not the purpose and never
has been. We make content management software. It can log activity or not. The
vast majority of our customers do not maintain logs at all.

Declude by design, is a TOOL. The user can make it behave any way they want
to. We can make it block ALL porn, not just unsolicited porn. And we do.

Who said they had to be suspected spam? We have received hundreds on inquiries
about blocking adult material whether it is spam or not. This is a hot segment
of the market right now. A lot of spam is tolerated. Porn is not.

What they may be evidence of is violation of company policies. They may be
unsolicited, may be not. Doesn't matter whether the guy has a porn habit or
not. If he is receiving inappropriate material, and if the employer has good
reason that some of it is not unsolicited as you claim it all must be, the
employer is perfectly within his rights, and possibility even obligated to
fire the guy.

DSN:Re: Re[2]: [Declude.JunkMail] A Question of Ethics

2003-02-26 Thread Brian Milburn

I seldom comment on this list, but this is something I know a little about. We
have published security software since 1990 and our most popular product,
CYBERsitter, since 1996. With over 2.5m users, we have seen it all. Because it
records all browsing activity, there are many cases where we have been called
upon to interpret the activity.

I personally know of several dozen cases where divorces were contemplated,
employee terminations took place, even people who were sent back to prison for
parole violations due directly to our software. Of course that isn't even the
tip of the iceberg compared to all the kids who have been grounded for doing
nasty things they shouldn't ;)

We have had more than our share of controversy. Our policy regarding our
responsibility has remained the same throughout and has proven to be the
appropriate one I believe.

Our software is a tool. The user purchases this tool to perform a specific
function. We try to provide as much information as we can about how to use the
tool. Once the user installs our software, what they do with the data is up to
them. All we can do is to provide the tool by which to gather the data, and to
present it in a readable, factual way.

It has been my experience, that when a drastic measure is contemplated, a wife
divorcing her husband for a porn problem, an employer terminating an employee,
or whatever, the software is generally used to confirm and/or validate
something they already know.

Our policy is to make ourselves available to help people analyze the data we
provide, and to give them an honest interpretation of what we feel is taking
place. I have personally confirmed peoples suspicions, and also was able to
explain suspected activity as accidental or unsolicited. 

I was contacted one time by a district attorney from Pittsburg. An employee of
a company was arrested and in jail for uploading a propriatory customer
database to some other location. They faxed me 20 pages of logs, and after
analyzing them I discovered that the logs had been altered. It turned out the
employer had insured his data for $400,000 and had set the employee up. The
employee was released later that day and the employer (our customer) was
arrested.

Personally, I feel that the ethics question here is whose ethics will we use.
Just the fact that this question is being discussed here is proof positive to
me that we as a group do care about how the data we provide our users is used.
The best we can do is to make it as accurate as possible, and be available to
help those who need a professional opinion. Contrast this to companies that
provide no rationale whatsoever for their judgements like some RBL providers,
or companies that provide spam/porn protection but aren't there to spend the
time with you when you have a question. To many companies ethics is spelled
ethic$. Hopefully we as a group are not among them.

I am willing to bet that the employee in question was not fired solely based
on information provided by an anti-spam program. They employer probably had
complaints, suspicions, or other reasons that were taken in to account. It is
quite possible he just needed the evidence.

RE: (4, ):[Declude.JunkMail] Blacklists

2003-02-08 Thread Brian Clover
Something you might try is setting up a black list file in the GLOBAL.CFG with a 
weight of 0.
ie: SenderBlacklist fromfile C:\IMail\Declude\SenderBlacklist.txt x 0 0

Then you can go in a per-domain or per-user 
ie: SenderBlacklist DELETE

This effectively gives you individual blacklists.

Subject: (4, ):[Declude.JunkMail] Blacklists


Scott and all,

We have the ability to develop a whitelist by domain now, how about the
ability to create a individual blacklist, say something like this in
each junkmail file...

WHITELISTFILE  C:\maillists\cswanson\whitelist.txt
BLACKLISTFILE  C:\maillists\cswanson\blacklist.txt

What prompted this was a customer who is using the Web Email address
book whitelist, and wants to shut down all Hotmail accounts trying to
send him mail other then the ones he has in his address book.  So if I
understand the .JunkMail processing, it's done after the address book is
checked.  So he'd receive his whitelisted hotmail accounts, and anything
else from a hotmail address would be dumped.

That's Santa _Ana_ winds Scott ;-)

It has been in the 80's here in So Cal. and the winds have knocked out our
electricity twice for a total of about 8 hours, and our backup copper T1 once.
Our big fiber line and batteries have kept us up and running. This morning I
woke up and when I turned on the lights they were all dim. I checked and we
had 60 volts! Things were beeping all over the house. Dang APC UPS's don't
have a "bell off" button. I guess the electricity was off for 3 hours or so,
and when the power came back up it was a few volts short. I have never seen
anything like this before, especially in January.

DSN:Re: [Declude.JunkMail] BASE64 test

2002-11-19 Thread Brian Milburn

Not when they are the text portions of the message. If you look at a complex
raw email message, there may be several message parts. These can be BASE64
encoded files of any type. All the message parts are essentially contained in
the message body. It is up to the client application to separate these parts
and reconstruct them into their original formats. I am seeing several hundred
spams a day where the sender sends an adult message from an innocuous email
address with a subject like "Got your message". The message bodies may be
extremely explicit, so they are  BASE64 encoded so that they get by spam
filters or "rules" like those available in iMail. There would be no good
reason at all to encode message text except to get by these filters.

[Declude.JunkMail] DSN:CYBERsitter NoXMail List

2002-11-13 Thread Brian Milburn

I want to thank everyone who requested a beta copy of CYBERsitter NoXMail.
There were quite a few requests and we received a lot of positive feedback and
a couple of good suggestions.

One user requested that we set up a mailing list so that beta users can ask
questions, and also so that I can send them announcements of enhancements and
'fixes' as they are posted. We also posted the beta so it can be downloaded.

Anyone using the beta is encouraged to subscribe by sending an email to:

   [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put SUBSCRIBE YOUR NAME in the message body.

We will be posting a new version this afternoon that implements some new spam
detection tests that help reduce false positives as well as the inclusion of a
couple of suggestions we received from users.

Thanks again, and thanks to Scott for providing an extensible product with
Declude JunkMail!

[Declude.JunkMail] DSN:Message for Scott

2002-11-12 Thread Brian Milburn

Scott,

If you will recall, I contacted you a while back when I was working on
CYBERsitter NoXMail and I was having problems with Declude locking the spool
file while processing it.

You sent me a version that had this fixed. MUCH to my embarrassment, I sent
out some beta copies of NoXMail to about 10-15 of your users this morning
completely forgetting about the declude.exe problem.

Is the fixed version of Declude available to all users? If so, maybe you could
post the address here so it won't look like we send out software that doesn't
work;-)

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Hi John,

We do not have the docs finished yet, but the program is available if you
would care to test it. There is a 'Declude style' configuration file and it is
completely commented so it is easy to use without the docs.

At this point we are still open to suggestions and comments. We hope to begin
the Linux translation by Dec 1, so the feature set and program defaults are
not locked down as yet.

Let me know and I will send you the files and a license key.

If you are interested in a Declude 'external test' for adult oriented

[Declude.JunkMail] Evaluating Declude Junkmail for purchase (NEWBIE)

2002-09-29 Thread Brian Gregory
Title: Evaluating Declude Junkmail for purchase (NEWBIE)






Sorry to bother, and thanks for taking time to read my message.  Any input is appreciated.


I am a small specialty hosting company, looking to purchase Declude Junkmail.  I have about 350 I-mail users on about 35 domains.  

1.  What do you think of Declude Junkmail - are you and your users satisfied?  Any issues with losing real messages?

2.  Best bang for the buck - Junkmail by itself, or adding Message Sniffer, MAPS tests, or both?


3.  Do you charge your users for the service?  What's a typical charge?



THANKS so much for your input!  Have a great day.


Thanks,

Ditto what Aaron said.  

I ran about 2000 messages on Friday and Declude bagged 37% of them.  I
use a fairly soft weighting as I have my final action set to DELETE.  If
I played harder ball I bet I'd bag 50%, easy. 

Performance hits (I am tinkering w/my system at the moment, and have
extra stuff here I can lose, so bear this in mind):

I'm running 31 separate tests, with the final arbiter being a Weight13
that tallies up the score run up by the previous 30.  On my 1GB,
dualPIII-800 SCSI Win2k box performance runs at about 450ms per message
(switch the log level to debug and you can see the execution time).

That's a lot, timewise, but the net effect on perceivable server
performance is flat-out zero.

Buy Declude.  You'll need to play with it for a couple of weeks to see
whats the right threshold for you... Which means you're going to scan
thru a lot of ads telling how to enlarge Mr. Happy and whatnot, but once
you are past that initial phase you can forget all about it.

Hello - I have taken my credit card out of my wallet two or three times
now, headed to buy declude junkmail - on the fence so to speak. I know
how well declude works for AV - and I am very impressed with Scott as a
helpful and courteous individual - and he seems real smart too - lots of
knowledge on the workings of mail etc  I am trying to drum up
support (funds) for it from a few of my business customers. I would like
some reviews if possible - what kind of kill rate some of you get
without paying some of the db's services out there - just using the free
stuff. Cold hard percentages would be good. I am using imgate at the
moment, but the ability to just mark spam would be so much better than
deleting it - and weighting sounds immensely better that pass or fail on
one test, then on to the next. I have gone down to only blocking open
relays (since no reason exists to have one - and if you are legit, you
shouldn't want one anyway)

Also, what kind of performance hits do you take -

sorry to break in on such a quiet day -
thanks
Kevin

Kevin,

I have about 100 users so far and roughly 3000 emails per day.  Declude
JunkMail catches about 50% of those 1500 e-mails.  Rarely do I get a
false positive, maybe once every two weeks and then its easy enough to
fix.  

As far as declude goes, its been one of the best companies I have EVER
made a purchase from.  If every company stood behind their product like
declude I would be a very happy man.

Part of the reason I stay with IMail and IPSwitch is because of declude.
Lets face it IPSwitch is not all that responsive! But Scott and Declude
are the best!

My 2 cents worth!

Aaron Caviglia

When viewing Scott's e-mail in Outlook 2002, you do not have the option
on that link. You can only click on it. But if you view Scott's e-mail
in the web interface, then you can right click on the link and use save
target as.

Scott, can you place that link on one of your web pages on declude.com?

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] ATTACH action and the spamattach.eml file...

A number of people have reported issues with the new ATTACH action that
are 
actually an issue with Internet Explorer.  Unfortunately, Microsoft
thinks 
that any file ending in ".eml" is a file in their own unique proprietary

format.  Normally, when Internet Explorer alters the .eml files, it does
so 
in a way where it is quite obvious that they have been altered (taking
out 
all the headers, for example, leaving just the message body).  However, 
with the spamattach.eml file, it seems that IE can cut the file about 
halfway through, causing the ATTACH action not to work properly.

If you are using the ATTACH action, you should check to make sure that
your 
\IMail\Declude\spamattach.eml file starts with a line beginning with 
"Message-ID: ".  If not, you should re-download the file (from 
http://www.declude.com/release/149/spamattach.eml ), but right-click on
the 
link and choose "Save target as", which will bypass the problems with IE

altering the file.
