RE: [Mimedefang] compare mimedefang to mailscanner

2007-01-16 Thread Tim Boyer

  I have been using mimedefang for a couple of years now and just today
  ran across the mailscanner program. On first glance it appears that the
  2 do about the same thing. Have some of the experts here tried both of
  these and have a comparison as to how they differ? Is it worth my while
  to spend time trying to configure mailscanner?

 The biggest difference between the two is that MIMEDefang, being a milter,
 can act on a message DURING the original SMTP conversation thus allowing
 rejections, grey/black/whitelisting, and other actions to be taken before
 the entire message is even accepted.

 If you REJECT a connection while it is in progress, there's no need to
 generate a separate bounce notification after the fact, which will likely
 just clog up your outbound mail queue.  You just send a rejection to the
 connecting server, and drop the connection, effectively slamming
 the door on
 the spammer.


This brings up the mail reason I'm not using MailScanner.  Mail rejected
during the SMTP conversation goes back to the sending server.  Mail bounced
afterwards goes wherever the spammer wants it to go.  Google 'backscatter
spam'.

[Mimedefang] Spamassassin detailed score in message header

2006-11-29 Thread Tim Boyer
action_change_header(X-Spam-Score, $hits ($score) $names);

works great, and gives me the total score.  It would be great, however, if I
could get more detail, e.g.,

X-Spam-Score: 8.152 () AWL,BAYES_99 (5.38),DCC_CHECK
(2.10),DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE (0.32),DNS_FROM_RFC_POST (0.22),FORGED_RCVD_HELO
(1.23),UNDISC_RECIPS (0.01)

Is there an easy way to do this?  Or could someone point me to where it's
spelled out in excruciating detail in the docs and I missed it completely?

Thanks much,

[Mimedefang] Scoring inconsistency question

2006-11-03 Thread Tim Boyer
I've been using MIMEDefang / SpamAssassin for years.  I'm running 3.1.6 on a
Red Hat box, and 99% of the time, all is well.

Last week I added a rule to tag those annoying .gif pump-and-dump emails.
Nothing fancy:

rawbody IMG_SRC_CID /src\=(\c|c)id\:/i
score IMG_SRC_CID   2.0

Most of the time it works fine.  However, occasionally, I'll get an email that
ONLY sees that rule.  I'm using MimeDefang to rewrite the headers, and all it
shows is

X-Spam-Score: 2 (**) IMG_SRC_CID

But when I do a spamassassin --debugtest with the message, it finds all kinds
of fun things:


Content analysis details:   ( 6.6 points, 9.0 required)

 pts rule name  description
 -- 
--
 0.1 FORGED_RCVD_HELO   Received: contains a forged HELO
 1.5 RCVD_NUMERIC_HELO  Received: contains an IP address used for HELO

 1.4 HTML_10_20 BODY: Message is 10% to 20% HTML
 0.0 MIME_HTML_ONLY BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts
 2.0 IMG_SRC_CIDRAW: cid in body

The very next message is the same kind of scam, but sees everything:

X-Spam-Score: 7.967 (***)
BAYES_00,DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE,FORGED_RCVD_HELO,HTML_
00_10,HTML_MESSAGE,IMG_SRC_CID,MIME_HTML_ONLY,RCVD_NUMERIC_HELO


So what obvious mistake am I making?  Thanks for any help...

[Mimedefang] syslog: invalid level/facility

2005-02-06 Thread Tim Boyer
I'm getting the following in the log file when receiving mail:

Feb  6 21:10:32 tolstoy mimedefang-multiplexor[28288]: Slave 0
stderr:syslog: invalid level/facility: good at
/usr/local/bin/mimedefang.pl line 553

That's in the middle of the md_syslog routine.  I made sure
Unix::Syslog was installed and up to date.  It looks like it's failing
on the line

syslog($facility, %s, $msg);

This is a reinstall on a RHE3 machine - we moved machines, and went
from 2.44 to 2.49.  Syslog-ng.conf and the other configuration files
are identical to a known good working 2.44 system.

Commenting out

if ($Features{Unix::Syslog}) {
my $num_fac = convert_log_facility_to_number($facility);
syslog($num_fac, %s, $msg);
} else {
syslog($facility, %s, $msg);
}

allows the system to receive mail - but is not, I understand, an
optimal solution.

Thanks much for any assistance...

MIMEDefang itself doesn't have anything referring to Original-Content-Type,
and neither does MIME-tools.  It must be an explicit filter decision,
or something else is munging the messages.

Thanks, David - that at least narrows it down.  It's nothing I'm doing

That should do it, as long as you (a) have the client queue-runner

Hmmm, either that didn't work, or (much more likely) I'm doing it
wrong:

resend_message('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
action_bounce(SpamAssassin has identified this email

I can see it in the logs - it's bouncing, but not sending me a copy.

Alternatively, you can quarantine the message (using 
quarantine_entire_message) instead of sending it to your postmaster.

But can I quarantine _and_ bounce?

You want:

 But can I quarantine _and_ bounce?

Yes, sure.

Hmmm... apologies, but I must be doing something stupid.  Here's what
I've got:

if ($Features{SpamAssassin}) {
snip
if ($hits = $req) {
md_graphdefang_log('spam', $hits, $RelayAddr);
action_add_part($entity, text/plain, -suggest,
$report\n,
SpamAssassinReport.txt, inline);
# Add a header with original recipients, just for info
action_add_header(X-Orig-Rcpts, join(, ,
@Recipients));
foreach $recip (@Recipients) {
delete_recipient($recip);
}

resend_message_one_recipient('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
action_bounce(SpamAssassin has identified this email
as possible spam);
return ();
}

It's bouncing:

Sep 30 21:14:43 melbourne2 sm-mta[17694]: i911EUd5017694: Milter:
data, reject=554 5.7.1 SpamAssassin has identified this email as
possible spam.  Please see  http://www.denmantire.com/blocklist.html
if you think this is incorrect.

... but never remailing.

Hi Nathan,

Having just enabled this feature myself (MD v2.41/2.38 + SA 2.63), and
experienced the frustration when it didn't work, make sure that your
$SALocalTestsOnly variable is set before the SpamAssassin init routine (as
below) in your mimedefang-filter.

$SALocalTestsOnly = 0;
if ($Features{SpamAssassin}) {
spam_assassin_init()-compile_now(1) if defined(spam_assassin_init());

Also, make sure that in your sa-mimedefang.cf file, you don't have the line
skip_rbl_checks 0
as that will undo the above.

Hope this helps, or gives you somewhere to look!
There was a bit of activity on this list within the past month or two
regarding enabling this, I couldn't find any specific reference off-hand,
but give it a search if you get stuck.

Regards,
Matt

I'll also add my recent experience.  Test it, using a piece of email
you _think_ should be blocked:

su -c spamassassin --test -D defang email.test

.. and make sure your permissions on the modules are correct.

[Mimedefang] Bounce AND send a copy?

2004-09-29 Thread Tim Boyer
Is there any way for the same message to be bounced, AND send a copy to
postmaster?  Until I get comfortable with SpamAssassin, I'd like Postmaster
to take a look at what's bouncing.

It's easy to do one or the other - I've done

   add_recipient('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
   return ();

and


action_bounce(SpamAssassin has identified this email as
possible spam);
return ();

but is it possible to do both?

Thanks much,

2004-09-24 Thread Tim Boyer

 Hi,

  Why the heck would I get one score when called from MIMEDefang,
 and another
  when done 'by hand'?

 Sounds like you have two or more spamassassin config files. The one from
 spamassassin is residing in /usr/local/etc/mail/local.cf, the other is the
 mimedefang one in /docsis/etc/mimedefang/sa-mimedefang.cf. One of them
 has network tests disabled.

 Martin


That was my first guess, so a week ago I changed a score to try to track it:

score BIZ_TLD 3.141

Both the MIMEDefang and the 'by hand' examples show:

 3.1 BIZ_TLDURI: Contains an URL in the BIZ top-level domain

so they've got to be using the same config file - right?

 Because MIMEDefang doesn't do network tests unless you ask it to.
 This is in the FAQ:
