Oh, I'm sure some of the really bad spam would go away, but this is a health list and so there are *a lot* of false positives because we mention a lot of spam-like keywords. So I'd have to set the spam level pretty high. It depends on how your ISP runs SpamAssassin. It is possible to run it in a manner where the user has full control over what rules and what scores will be applied to their mail, and when you train SpamAssassin by feeding it examples of spam that has gotten through or ham that has accidentally been mis-identified, these rules and scores will be updated as necessary. I've been seriously fighting spam for about twelve years (as the Sr. Internet Mail Administrator for AOL, I wrote some of the earliest comprehensive anti-spam measures for sendmail, which I then re-published to the community), and I've spoken on this subject at conferences, I've been a member of the IETF/IRTF Anti-Spam Research Group, and was the head of the Best Current Practices sub-group. I can tell you, with some authority, that the only effective way to run SpamAssassin is to do so using these per-user methods. And that if you (the ISP) do actually run it in this way, you really can quite effectively catch or identify most spam, even in environments where you would otherwise tend to generate excessive false positive matches. Of course, that doesn't mean that your ISP is actually going to do any of these things. Here's what I want: Subscribers who are unmoderated to be whitelisted. Non-subscribers who I have set to auto-accept to be whitelisted. That doesn't work, either. Spammers troll the archives of mailing lists to find addresses they can use -- to spam those mailing lists, among others. You can't just auto-whitelist all addresses in certain classes. Potential spam from the moderated box to be sent to my graymail (my ISP's name (or maybe a common name, I don't know) for suspected spam--they send an email each night with the from and subject headers). No, that's not a common name. I've been in this business for nearly twenty years, and in all that time, I have never heard this particular term used in this manner. More common terms are folders with names like quarantine or probable spam. -- Brad Knowles [EMAIL PROTECTED] LinkedIn Profile: http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Everything else could be left in the default Defer mode, and then you simply click the check box at the top or bottom of the page which says Discard all mail marked 'Defer', then hit the Submit Your Changes button.

No, that they haven't taken the steps to integrate it with MM yet and have no immediate plans to do so. They don't need to. And don't want to (I'm surprised Brad didn't reemphasize this). If they are running SpamAssassin, you want them to run it in such a way that your MTA can refuse to accept the mail at all. This has the advantages that (1) you (and your Mailman) never see it, which (2) saves your ISP the cost of running Mailman, and (3) in case of a false positive, a real user will see that their mail was bounced and complain to you, and have some useful information for diagnosing why. It's (2) and to some extent (3) that makes this method significantly better than filtering on SpamAssassin headers at the Mailman stage. So long as they're running SpamAssassin on their machines and using the standard SpamAssassin tagging feature, you can take advantage of that. You don't need any further help from them on that subject. Almost. If you worry about false positives, you can ask them to make sure that the spam level header which gives a spamminess rating according to the number of stars (eg, X-Spam-Level: ** is a 10) is enabled. Then you can add a discard filter for ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* to your Mailman configuration which nukes all posts with level 10 spamminess or more, and a hold filter to ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\* which holds posts with level 5 or more for moderation. Tune the number of stars to fit your experience. This header is on by default, and you can easily check the headers of list mail to see if it's there.

So if I understand, you want spam filtering to apply only to non-members who aren't in accept_these_nonmembers. You aren't going to be able to do that unless sonic installs the SpamAssassin patch referred to earlier in this thread or something similar. What that patch allows is setting a SpamAssassin 'hold' score and a SpamAssassin 'discard' score and a member bonus for being a member or in accept_these_nonmembers. If you set the member bonus high enough, no member post would ever be held or discarded. The problem with that is those settings are global, not per-list. The patch could always be modified to make the settings per-list, but that makes it less likely you'd ever see it installed. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

My lists are like that (bug reports on software), but I've found it to be a tolerable compromise nevertheless.

Graymail is a list of from addresses and subject headers of every email there. If it's all spam, I scan and ignore. It goes away forever after 7 days (my setting). Anything in moderation for MM must be clicked on. One at a time. 3 clicks per sender (which means per spam most of the time) if I want to set the address to auto-discard and ban the spammer from joining the list, in addition to simply discarding the email. False positives are far easier to deal with in MM moderation than in graymail, but my ISP is about to come out with a better version of graymail that may reduce the workload.

Sure, but you're being nibbled to death by mice. Everything that you can offload onto other people is more time for you to spend on the service you want to provide. In my personal experience that works in the sense that a number of people do go to the trouble to save me time, and some even express gratitude for the chance to help. YMMV, of course. False positive means it's legit mail that is in my spam folder. Using my ISP's defaults. Well, those defaults are not well-tuned to your list. (You obviously know they're not working; my point is that there's a very good chance that they can be tuned a *lot* better.) Timing is up to you, but my advice is to get in touch with your ISP early and often and see if they'll give you some access to tuning SA (SpamAssassin) scores for rules that give you a lot of false positives, and to training SA's adaptive filters against a pile of your list mail. BTW, I see that you have checked for SA headers in your list mail and not found them. If they're using something else, a lot of what has been said about SA applies to most filter software to some degree. And if they're not using anything, the sooner they start, the better for everybody.

Re: [Mailman-Users] How to stop spam emails
From: Brad Knowles [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2007 01:53:21 -0600 I was talking about moving just your mailing lists, not all your ISP services. Of course you could link those two if you want, but there are plenty of mailing list only providers that you could at least check out. As I said, I am happy with my ISP and have no plans to move my lists again. If there is no way for me to filter spam, then I will live with it until my ISP is able to fix the problem. Every provider has strengths and weaknesses and I believe it is a poor choice to suddenly switch around simply because there is one feature missing. Another provider will have a different weakness. And most of them will cost money. My lists are free with my account services.

I've tried this, in mm_cfg.py, using unix timestamp PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = 'cat /var/run/mailman/mail_tmp.$(date +%s); /usr/local/bin/external_arch.pl %(listname)s ' but without success. is there a way to do it ? should I use Python functions to get unix timestamp for current date ? It looks to me as if you have inherited something from Jean-Philippe GIOLA and it is now way more complicated than it needs to be. yes Here are my observations on the above: 1) The name mail_tmp.$(date +%s) may still not be unique. What if two messages arrive to be archived within the same second? 2)How does /usr/local/bin/external_arch.pl determine what file to read? And, if it just picks one, it could be for the wrong list. 3)The reason the above doesn't work at all is mailman interpolates into the PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER string from a dictionary in order to replace %(listname)s with the actual listname, but this interpolation sees the %s date format and replaces it with the entire dictionary. You have to double the % to avoid this. E.g. 'cat /var/run/mailman/mail_tmp.$(date +%%s); /usr/local/bin/external_arch.pl %(listname)s ' ok 4) The normal way to do this is to not bother with the tempfile stuff at all, but rather to just pipe the message to the external archiver as in PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = '/usr/local/bin/external_arch.pl %(listname)s' Then external_arch.pl can just read it's standard input for the message. If you do it this way, you can't run it in the background because it won't get standard input from the pipe, but the only reason it might need to run in the background is if it does something which locks the list. which is our case, because of the call to 'arch' I think Jean-Philippe GIOLA was doing these wierd contortions because he wanted both the normal pipermail archive and an external archive, yes this is exactly our requirement but the normal way to do this is to just do normal archiving in Mailman and subscribe an address to the list to do the external archiving. I didn't understand well this solution. can you please explain it, how can a subscriber/address do the external archiving ?

Please advise how to deal with this? It is best to start a new topic on a list by creating a new message, not by replying to someone else's post. When you reply to an unrelated post, your post gets threaded in the other topic in the archive and it makes the archive hard to read. Anyway, the answer to your question is install better spam filtering in your MTA. The best thing is to identify spam at incoming SMTP time and don't accept it in the first place. Next best is to accept it but silently discard it in the MTA - do not bounce it to the claimed sender as this is almost certainly forged. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
