Unfortunately this leads to a high false positive rate. (We tried it and

Declude JunkMail does have negative weighting -- both actual negative 
weights (for example, you could have E-mail failing the MAILFROM test have 
a weight of -5, although that isn't a good example), and "passing" weights 
(for example, you could have it so that all E-mail that is NOT listed in a 
custom blacklist file could have a weight of 5).

You could use this with the upcoming system in 1.55 where the external 
program can return a weight, by setting the default weight to -10 
('TESTNAME external weight "C:\IMail\Declude\program.exe" -10 0'), and then 
adding 10 to whatever weight you would otherwise return (if you were going 
to return a weight of 5, you would return 15).  That way, you could have 
the program return negative weights up to -10.

This is something that we are considering testing for (along with base64 
encoding of text or HTML segments, which is normally only used to try to 
bypass content-based scanning).  Declude Virus Pro already looks for some 
of that, in determining whether or not HTML code may be dangerous.  So it 
may not be too difficult to implement.

AW: [Declude.JunkMail] HTML-Test?

2002-06-13 Thread Gufler Markus

We are currently brainstorming if it makes sense to develope a external
test-file, that checks subject and body about tipical spam-content: At
the moment we plan to implement the following tests:

- FORMAT: TEXT or HTML
- KEYWORD: Keywords like s*x, po*n, ca*h, fre*, ince*t, 
  photos, tou*, ho*, movi*s, cli*k here, abu*e, remo*e,...)
- SENDER: sender email is nummeric or ends with min. 2 digits
- LINKCOUNT: a couple of links within mails
- LINKPARAM: are there links with GET-Parameters  (ex:
url.asp?id=123456)
- LINKIMGSRC: are there IMG-Tags with sources to scripts (ex: 

Most of this tests will have a reasonable value of 1-3 in the weighting
system.
Are there any comments about this test, or suggestions to other tests?

Scott: we are thinking also to not only search for tipical spam-content
but also for tipical non-spam-content and give them a negative weight as
you mentioned in a posting yesterday. But we are not sure if there are
any restrictions/rules that we should respect with the
junkmail-weighting-system.

What might be best in this case would be for us to add a test to see if the 
E-mail was plain text, and if so, to give it a negative weight.  That way, 
the E-mail that was just plain text would end up with a lower weight than 
E-mail that contained HTML.

You're right... I just tested.
I believe that older versions of the iMail Web interface (4.x) formatted
them as HTML.
I haven't done any tests since then. :)

I'm not sure, but as I know, neither Imail-WebMail-Messages are
HTML-formated nor this messages are scanned by declude. (on the
WebMail-Server side)

Scott:
Yes I know that Outlook has standard-settings to write HTML-Mails. But
on the other side a great part of false-positives on my current settings
are server-generated messages (reports, status-notifications ...) and
100% of this mails are in standard Text-format. So HTML-Mails can
collect some points that allone not trigger any action but helps to
raise the recognition-rate.
But when you say to me, that this don't make any sense I will believe

The problem with this is that most personal E-mail is sent in HTML (you can 
give a BIG thanks to Microsoft for that one).  I believe that the default 
settings in Outlook will send both text and HTML, even if there is no 
difference between the text and HTML segments (so even though the E-mail 
appears to be a plain text E-mail, it has an HTML copy of it).

[Declude.JunkMail] HTML-Test?

2002-06-12 Thread Gufler Markus

Hi,

I'm currently implementing Junkmail. 
My question: Is there a test if the mail is in HTML or in TEXT-Format?

When I check the spam-mails recieved in the past days over 90% of this
mails are HTML-formated. So I think HTML-formated mails should recieve
2-3 points in the weighting system.

Any suggestions, arguments, info's...?

Thanks
Markus
