RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Image spam

2007-03-08 Thread Dave Beckstrom
 

I'm confused.  I understood that if you host multiple email domains on a
mail server that you're considered a hosting company and can't purchase
commtouch?  At least I vaguely recall something to that affect.  I checked
Declude's site and I don't see commtouch listed on there anywhere (it used
to be) other than under technology partners.

 

Obviously, I'm missing something.  So what is the scoop?  

 

I need an image spam solution.  I followed this discussion, but I didn't see
much talk about what people are actually using that currently works well for
them.  

 

I would most appreciate it if you would share your method for dealing with
image spam.

 

We have on particular spam that comes through multiple times every day.  Its
getting tiring.  There isn't enough other things wrong with the message to
block it.

Declude and Image based spam - 4 methods

1. COMMTOUCH

Commtouch Recurrent Pattern Detection contains an intrinsic mechanism to
exact-match recurrent patterns across similar but not-identical messages.
However in the case of images, the minute the spammer makes even the
smallest changes to an image, the image-encoded data appears completely
different. Commtouch identified this trend in the earliest days of
image-based spam, and made the necessary enhancements to its detection
engine in order to defend against this new threat with a sophisticated
protection shield. Commtouch invested significant resources into developing
a method for decoding the images and then sampling them using the proven RPD
approach. The result is a significantly improved spam detection rate, while
maintaining the same low false-positive rate.

2. CLAMWIN

Using ClamAV as a virus scanner with Declude you can download the
MSRBL-Images.hdb file which has additional signatures (MD5 sigs) which
contains signatures created from images contained within spam emails.
http://www.msrbl.com/site/msrblimagesdownload

3. FILTER-CID

Identifies emails which contains images increasing the weight suffeciently
on spam messages to reach the spam threshold.

The way it was explained to me is as follows.

If you have customers you charge for email hosting you are hosting company.

If you are a company with multiple domains you are not. We have multiple 
domains and use CommTouch. We have domains for multiple divisions.

How is this licensed?  It appears that ORF is needed to use it

 How  is  this  licensed?

Dunno,  but  if  it  costs you an ORF license to use it under Declude,
it's still very cheap.

 It  appears  that  ORF  is  needed to use it legitimately -- is that
 correct?

Well,  it's  not in their customer-only area, so you can draw whatever
conclusion you want from that.

 Also,  can  this  be  configured  to  be  called  only when an image
 attachment is detected?

I  don't  believe  so,  but  redecoding  the  MIME within the external
process should add very minimal overhead.

Hi David,

Great information, thank you.

What is the hold value for this setup, 20? The provided syntax is great, but
it would generally be helpful to know that the test should be valued at x%
of your hold weight. I hesitate to assume but wanted to make sure if it was,
in fact, based off of the default hold value of 20.


Thanks,

John

John,

I assigned a weight base on this scale:

10 Low Spam
15 Mid Spam
20 High Spam

I guess which is pretty much the same scale as HOLD at 20.

it seems to not use much cpu; its effectiveness is ok. In case you are

which contains signatures created from images contained within
spam emails. http://www.msrbl.com/site/msrblimagesdownload

*3. FILTER-CID*

Identifies emails which contains images increasing the weight
suffeciently on spam messages to reach the spam threshold.

[Declude.JunkMail] Image Spam

2007-01-06 Thread Dave Beckstrom

Sniffer tags some of the image spam we receive but much of it doesn't score
high enough for a hold weight. 

Is Declude or anyone else working on anything new that will be more
effective at catching image spam?  We're not eligible for Interceptor
because we host email for some other companies.

What options are available?

You might also want to look at using the SARE rules at 
http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm, particularly the SARE Stock rules 
(70_sare_stocks.cf).  Also, a couple of Fred's rule sets at 
http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm (88_FVGT_rawbody.cf   
99_FVGT_meta.cf) can be quite helpful, as well.


If you are running SA 3.1.1, you can also use the sa-update script to pull 
down the latest SA rules, which includes additional rules found in the 
80_additional.cf rule set that are very good at tagging these kinds of image 
spams.


And finally, Sniffer seems to successfully tag almost 100% of these image 
spams, and Razor tags a majority of them, as well.

For what it's worth, SARE has their own download script (I'm not
familiar with the sa-update script Bill mentioned) called RulesDuJour
which is a bash shell script:

http://www.exit0.us/index.php?pagename=RulesDuJour

And that page contains a howto link for us Windows users who are running

RulesDeJour is a script for pulling down the non-official SARE rules sets. 
The sa-update script is used to pull down official SA rule updates (updating 
the default rule sets that come with SA).

In  keeping  with  the  increased  CPU  demands of such tests, the new
version of SPAMC32 will contain the ability to send the request to two
(maybe  more  than  two  in future) tiered SPAMD daemons. The second
daemon  -- listening on a different port, or on a different machine --
will be consulted only if the results from the first daemon are within
configured  thresholds.  So  if  you  already flag the spam using less
resource-intensive  tests,  you  can short-circuit the testing at that
point.

I'd guess it's possible to do this within Declude as well, by defining
SPAMC32  a  few  different times, but just trying to make some stuff a
little easier on both sides. . . .

P.S.  This gives me the idea of having different max-size switches for
