Re: [newbie] spam
From: Martin Hardie [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi All
I have been getting a load of mail with docs attached such as:
xx.pif
It is prompting me to consider some spam filter like spamassassin but i
have
no idea where to start
any suggestions?
Martin, for that kind of spam you need to consider a compound approach.
I'm happy with a simple postfix-procmail-nk-vir-SpamAssassin path.
Most want more AV protection and use ClamAV instead. I made the mistake
of learning at least some of the procmail syntax so that's easier for me
than setting Amavis and ClamAV with SpamAssassin.
Some things to remember.
1) SpamAssassin is not a filter. It is a spam scoring tool and annotating
tool. You use something following SpamAssassin to dispatch the spam to
/dev/null, a special spam folder, or a combination of those tricks.
2) ClamAV and nk-vir are at different ends of a spectrum of virus diverter
engines. I don't know ClamAV very well. But nk-vir diverts spam to a spam
storage place, on the linux machines. I check it there with the simple
command line utility, mail. It is WAY too dumb to infect me with anything
other than a social engineering virus.
3) None of the above tools works without some form of wrapper and dispatch
engine, procmail, milters, Amavis, or the like. Budget a day or so to get
it working. (It is worth it. Once it's working your life becomes ever so
much easier.)
4) All of the above feature false positives. Given that Murphy was an
optimist there will be false positives that include your job offer from
Google or something else equally critical to your future. Budget a little
time, 10-15 minutes at the outside, to scan at least the titles of the
spams and viruses to make sure nothing critical got into your dumpster.
5) With SpamAssassin there is a phenomenon called add on rule sets. There
are many publicly available rule sets. IMAO the best is at the SARE,
SpamAssassin Rules Emporium. Visit it. Install the rule sets. Watch the
spam tagging accuracy climb dramatically.
6) With SpamAssassin you MUST train the Bayes filter on YOUR mail mix.
Collect at least 200 (1000 preferred) each of spams and hams that you
have personally vetted. Feed them to SpamAssassin's salearn tool.
Bayes will kick in nicely.
7) Personal prejudices re SA: Turn off automatic Bayes training and
automatic whitelisting, at least until Bayes is well trained and you
have achieved high accuracy spam filtering. I've watched many newbies
experience munged Bayes databases and whitelists (which are miss named
anyway) due to false training via the automatic training features on
newly installed SpamAssassins. The SpamAssassin WIKI is a help. Sadly
it could all be better documented. (If you actually LIKE writing
documentation and fighting spam the SA developers would welcome you with
open arms! And if you know someone who wants to employ a perl expert
who happens to like fighting spam, Duncan, the chief SA developer, needs
some summer employment. ANYTHING that we all can do to support this team
is worthwhile.)
8) If you experience difficulties the SpamAssassin users mailing list
at Apache.org is well worth your time and effort.

I decided to install 10.1 yesterday and I started a Hard Disk install. Everything went fine. All the packages and all got installed correctly, just that it didn't allow me to configure the internet connection after the installation. I selected Modem connection. The installation detected the modem properly. I clicked next and it gave a similar perl error. I then finished the installation, rebooted the pc in runlevel 3. I logged in as a user and hit startx. The KDE splash showed up. But then suddenly the Welcome window popped up. This is the window that pops up when KDE starts. Though, at that moment, all I could see in that window was the check box at the bottom that says Show this windows when KDE starts or something and the close button. Not to mention, I couldn't click either. The splash screen meanwhile, was stuck on the 2nd thing ermmm, I don't remember what it is! But anyways. So I killed X and hit startx again. This time, KDE started properly, but I didn't get the First time wizard. Now in KDE, things work fine, but I can't restore windows once I maximize them. Anyways that doesn't matter. The problem is with the internet connection. I started KPPP and manually configured the modem and the rest of the settings. KPPP connected fine, but I'm unable to send or receive any data on the line. No browser works. Gaim, Kopete... neither manages to connect to the internet and urpmi can't find the servers either. The modem works fine in Windows XP and so it did in Mandrake 10.0. I've downloaded the ISOs for 10.1 from the internet and verified the MD5SUM. I extracted all the files from the ISOs to a folder and installed from the HDD. I booted off the first CD. Any idea about what's wrong? Thank you.

[newbie] Bandwidth limiting...
Hi, I have LAN n/w here. The internet connection comes off a computer running Mandrake 10. The connection is via PPPoE on eth0. eth1 connects to the rest of the clients (10 of them) running Windows 98 (wish i could burn them down) via a switch. So there's the whole setup of the network. I give internet access to these pcs via ipkungfu. Now, is there any way via which I can limit the bandwidth used by each pc? I have a 256kbps connection and i'd like to limit the individual bandwidth for each client to say, something like 20kbps. Is it possible? If yes, how? What software and where do I get it? Any documentation? Thank you. Mrugesh Registered Linux User #375243 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

You should be able to go into /etc/lilo.conf and create an option for Windows like this: other=/dev/hda2 label=windows table=/dev/hda Run lilo and then you should get the option to boot into Windows on next boot. Actually that seems to be exactly what I've done, but it still has the /boot partition (former C:) as the active primary partition, according to my partition table. Linux doesn't care, but Windows runs into the blinking cursor on a black screen problem when I try to choose it from Lilo. Is there (or rather, what is) a way to set the active 'bit' on your primary partition? That might save me the entire reinstall, which would be nice...

[newbie] Kmail question
I asked this in the kdepim-users list but no reply yet, possibly someone here can assist me, below is what I sent: When forwarding a message either in-line or as an attachment, the full headers are sometimes shown and sometimes not, most times not. Since I mostly use this to forward phishing msgs to certain addresses, its important that the full headers are shown. I've gone through the composer settings for Kmail and haven't been able to get this to work yet. If I remember correctly in the previous version I was running this wasn't a problem as the full headers were always shown in the attachment. Can someone enlighten me on what changes I need to make to get this to work correctly.

If you boot from the CD, you should be able to get to a command line interface and then run fdisk. You can make partitions active and inactive there. However, you can only have one active primary partition. If, during the original disk partitioning, you created two primary partitions and two logical drives, C and D, if you make D active, then C will become inactive and Windows may reissue the drive letters which will make the D logical drive the C logical drive and mess up all your drive letters from the original install. If this is the case, you are going to have to bite the bullet and remove the second primary partition, reduce the size of the primary partition to just the C drive size and then create an extended partition for the D and other logical drives on the disk. If this doesn't happen, then it doesn't matter if the C logical drive is hidden or not since it will be a Linux drive and not really readable under Win2k anyway. -- Bryan Phinney Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I don't have an answer for your question, but I noticed something else strange about e-mail forwarding in the kmail in 10.1. In the past, if you forwarded a message with an attachment, the attachment would be part of the forwarded message, not so in 10.1. Maybe forwarding is completely broken in 10.1 -- /g Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
