Re: [ilugd] anyone has spammers list???
i need a list of well known spamming sites for my institute's new mail server. can anyone help me? the new mail server runs the courier imap server with qmail on RH 9.0. you could try to integrate relays.ordb.org into qmail. This is basically a list of servers on relay and locks such sites from sending emails to your server. they also have soe third party links to some other such databases. Hope that helps. ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Re: [ilugd] anyone has spammers list???
i need a list of well known spamming sites for my institute's new mail server. can anyone help me? the new mail server runs the courier imap server with qmail on RH 9.0. Check out spamassassin @ www.spamassassin.org and the Open Relay Database @ www.ordb.org. Please do note that neither of these methods will give you 100% spam prevention. You will get a few false positives (i.e. correct mail tagged as spam) and a lots of false negetives with spamassassin. And you will have a few people not being able to send mail to your users regularly. The ordb database seems to be decent, but my experience has been that it is mostly legitimate mail that is stopped by ordb RBL. You can set up spamassasin so that any mails tagged as spam has the subject line rewritten or the message sent to a seperate spam box. I administer a few commercial servers providing web space and email facility. My experience with spam has been that it is best to ask users to set up and maintain a spam software. You can install spamassassin on the server and provide users an option to do the filtering on the server. Using ORDB can be a pain, as I have seen that a lot of legitimate mails get blocked by ordb enabled relays. One recent example of this was a customer comming to me and telling me that one of my mail relays was functioning as an open relay. It turned out that the relay in question was of Mantra Online. If major ISPs can get listed in an RBL, then the whole idea of the RBL goes out of the window, as it causes major headaches for everyone. OTOH if everyone starts using a relatively sane RBL like ORDB, then at least most techs at ISPs would be better educated.

While ORDB, RBL, etc, are all very good ideas, isn't it also necessary to stop spams, not just spammers? I'd suggest that you extend your strategy to include something like SpamAssassin. This program does not need to know which IP address the email is coming from... it looks at the email (headers and body) and determines whether it is a spam. Our tests with about a hundred trial messages indicated 100% correct separation of spams from non-spam. We've now built up a collection of several hundred spams, which we will use for another round of tests before we actually install it on our servers.
