I've had nightmares setting up PacBell/SBC DSL that would fill a book,
but that was incompetent tech installation and support.  Once the
service is up its always been just great; for years running.

And besides, here in central California you either work with SBC or you
work with someone who is leasing from them.

Don't get me wrong, I will use .6 (and will configure it probably 
tonight since I finished some other testing), but I will score it fairly 
low because anything that tags something like Cox is problematic.  Same 
goes for FIVETEN, they are tagging Yahoo/SBC.

It's good to know when a particular list is blocking a major provider.  
Hopefully lists like SpamCop, which I rely on heavily, won't ever do 
something like this.

Mathew,

Correction there..

.8 is no longer used and is basically empty.
.6 has a higher # of false positives than the rest. Not many, but if you
want to play it safe, do not use .6.
And that is correct:
Cox = Cox Cable
It is my home connection and since SBC is obviously not an ethical
alternative, Cox is the lesser of all evils.

Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SORBS-SPAM

.8 is one of those F-U blacklists that punishes every user on 
a system 
because a network administrator saw fit to complain.  I would 
think that 
most of these organizations are bandwidth providers with some sort of 
firewall that got tripped by the testing.  Spammers don't 
rely on open 
relays in their own netblocks.  I don't see any reason to use 
this test.

.6 is an example of overzealousness and it is defeatist in 
nature.  Less 
people will rely on such lists if in fact the list provider starts 
blocking millions of legitimate users.  It ignores false 
positives and 
becomes more of a political statement in effect, and that 
doesn't help 
me much.  My users don't care if SORBS is blocking Cox, they 
just want 
their E-mail from a friend or business associate.

Unfortunately this goes both ways.  Cox recently started blocking 
outgoing SMTP traffic over port 25 from at least some of 
their markets.  
They did this in order to combat the spam coming from their 
users.  The 
net result is that they might find their way off of some 
blacklists, but 
E-mail providers are now limited in the solutions they can provide to 
their customers since users must use Cox's own SMTP server.

I wouldn't call that a win.  Unfortunately it seems that 
there are many 
overzealous lists out there, and my thinking is that this is 
due to what 
compels someone to start offering a blacklist for 
free...they're fed up 
and they're not going to take it anymore!

.6 is List of hosts that have been noted as sending
spam/UCE/UBE to the admins of SORBS.  This
zone also contains netblocks of spam supporting
service providers, this could be for providing
websites, DNS or drop boxes for a spammer.  Spam
supporters are added on a 'third strike and you are
out' basis, where the third spam will cause the
supporter to be blocked.
.8   List of hosts demanding they are never tested by
   SORBS.
So of course someone that host spammers will demand they never be 
tested. Almost should be a case for immediate blocking IMO.

Either way with declude there is not reason to directly 
 

block anything 
   

just use a weighted system where each test add to the total weight.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SORBS-SPAM

2003-09-02 Thread Phillip B. Holmes
Mathew,

Correction there..

.8 is no longer used and is basically empty.
.6 has a higher # of false positives than the rest. Not many, but if you
want to play it safe, do not use .6.

And that is correct:
Cox = Cox Cable

It is my home connection and since SBC is obviously not an ethical
alternative, Cox is the lesser of all evils.

Here's mine.  Weights 0-12 are OK, weights 13-19 get bounced and 20+
gets deleted.  Neither bounces nor deletes should be done without
understanding *exactly* what the consequences are.

While I get awfully close to zero false positives, I also wind up
bouncing about 20% of the stuff declude bags.  That works out to about
11000 bounce messages last month.  Maybe a dozen actully reached a
person.  However those dozen would be angry customers wondering why
their mail got deleted.  Instead the bounce becomes a positive customer
service.  I need to experiment and see how many items hit weight 18, 17,
16 etc. to see if I can cut down on the bounces safely.  I'll bet I can.

You can see my latest stats here:
http://mysecretbase.com/mailsystem.html.  I also wrote up how the system
works for customer information.  What I'm describing is Declude Virus,
Declude Junkmail and Imail 8 anti-spam working together.

Hope this helps,

.8 is one of those F-U blacklists that punishes every user on a system 
because a network administrator saw fit to complain.  I would think that 
most of these organizations are bandwidth providers with some sort of 
firewall that got tripped by the testing.  Spammers don't rely on open 
relays in their own netblocks.  I don't see any reason to use this test.

.6 is an example of overzealousness and it is defeatist in nature.  Less 
people will rely on such lists if in fact the list provider starts 
blocking millions of legitimate users.  It ignores false positives and 
becomes more of a political statement in effect, and that doesn't help 
me much.  My users don't care if SORBS is blocking Cox, they just want 
their E-mail from a friend or business associate.

Unfortunately this goes both ways.  Cox recently started blocking 
outgoing SMTP traffic over port 25 from at least some of their markets.  
They did this in order to combat the spam coming from their users.  The 
net result is that they might find their way off of some blacklists, but 
E-mail providers are now limited in the solutions they can provide to 
their customers since users must use Cox's own SMTP server.

I wouldn't call that a win.  Unfortunately it seems that there are many 
overzealous lists out there, and my thinking is that this is due to what 
compels someone to start offering a blacklist for free...they're fed up 
and they're not going to take it anymore!

So of course someone that host spammers will demand they never be

Either way with declude there is not reason to directly block anything
just use a weighted system where each test add to the total weight.

Would you post your configuration that works for you?  and anyone else
