[Declude.JunkMail] Configuration Question -

2003-09-05 Thread Chuck Schick
I am trying to use Sorbs as a new black list.

I put this line in my Global config file.

SORBS-BADCONF   ip4rdnsbl.sorbs.net 127.0.0.11  4   0

And I put in the following lines in both the Junkmail and the Global file

SORBS-BADCONF   WARN

After running this for 24 hours I did not find the test had been triggered
once.

Here are my questions:

1) Is my configuration incorrect?

2) Is it a waste of my time to use SORBS as a Blacklist?

I just installed SORBS last night and am busy monitoring the results.  I 
have found that they mostly tagg what others are tagging thus far, but 
what will take more time to figure out is if they are finding stuff that 
has been slipping through the others.  I monitor things that fail with a 
score of between 10-14 in order to determine the validity of this test.  
I had pretty good results before SORBS and without Oriusoft, so just 
catching another 1% of all spam would mean a 20% reduction of what gets 
through.

SORBS-BADCONF hasn't been tripped on the first 1,500 messages that it 
was checked for, but other SORBS tests are definitely producing 
positives...508 out of 1,500, and my server rejected 849 for being 
spam.  Mostly it catches open relays of one sort or another.  My SORBS 
config is as follows:

SORBS-HTTPip4rdnsbl.sorbs.net127.0.0.2 50
SORBS-SOCKS   ip4rdnsbl.sorbs.net127.0.0.3 50
SORBS-MISCip4rdnsbl.sorbs.net127.0.0.4 50
SORBS-SMTPip4rdnsbl.sorbs.net127.0.0.5 50
SORBS-SPAMip4rdnsbl.sorbs.net127.0.0.6 50
SORBS-WEB ip4rdnsbl.sorbs.net127.0.0.7 50
SORBS-ZOMBIE  ip4rdnsbl.sorbs.net127.0.0.9 50
SORBS-DUL ip4rdnsbl.sorbs.net127.0.0.1050
SORBS-BADCONF ip4rdnsbl.sorbs.net127.0.0.1130
SORBS-NOMAIL  ip4rdnsbl.sorbs.net127.0.0.1250
The scores are only a starting point, and I scored SORBS-BADCONF lower 
because I thought it might get tripped by the same data that HELOBOGUS 
does (this hasn't been confirmed because that SORBS filter has not been 
tripped).

Have not personally used sorbs, but I think you choose a very select item
(BADCONF/.11) that would not be triggered often, try to use a wider ranges
of the sorbs tests available.
