[qmailtoaster] Whitelisting in SpamAssassin

2012-08-30 Thread Casey James Price 

Hi all,

One of my customers is having an issue with emails being incorrectly 
classified as spam by SpamAssassin. They are using a 3rd party site with 
a form to handle registrations from customers. The form is configured to 
send the mail to a specific user on their domain (in this case lets call 
that a...@example.com)...the form is also setup so that the From and 
reply-to addresses point to whatever email addresss the user filling out 
the form inputs.


I can see in my spamdyke logs that those messages are originating from 
skyride.digiknows.com, so I went ahead and tried whitelisting that 
address in spamdyke for the whitelist_senders list, but where I'm having 
problems is that spamassassin is still classifying the mail as spam. I 
tried whitelist_from *@skyride.digiknows.com as well as 
whitelist_from_rcvd (not sure if I fully understand how this one works 
though).


Running the latest release of QMT/QTP.

Here is a snippet from my local.cf

hi,

we also had a similar issue where our website was on server A and
qmailtoaster ie email service for the same website was on server B.

the issue is that the email form generally connects the smtp server on the
same machine ie server A for sending out emails which is the problem
because qmail toaster starts applying spamassassin rules to it.

what you need to do is -- in your email form put the ip address of your
server B ie the actual email server, carry out smtp authentication and
then send the email. make sure that you connect on the submission port ie
port 587 in the stock qmail toaster for this purpose so that spamassassin
would not be used at all once you authenticate.


 sample 

";
$to = "test1";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
$port = "587";
$host = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
$username = "visi...@youremailid.com";
$password = "x";

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
  'To' => $to,
'Date' => $dt,
  'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
  array ('host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
  echo("" . $mail->getMessage() . "");
 } else {
  echo("Message successfully sent!");
 }
?>


 sample 


give this a try. if you still face any issues let me know.

If you are adding the whitelist rules on a user by user case, you need 
to add the flag "allow_user_rules 1" to your local.cf.  I store all my 
user specific rules in MySQL for spamassassin and I use whitelist_from. 
The whitelist_from never worked until I added the allow_user_rules 1 in 
the local.cf.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Whitelisting in SpamAssassin

2012-09-04 Thread Helmut Fritz 
I use exactly this format in my local.cf and it works.

whitelist_from *@anbtx.com

I also have some users where I:

whitelist_to n...@domain.com

and a couple of domains where I am backup MX:

all_spam_to *@domain.com

all of these work fine for me, I do not have the allow_user_rules 1 that
Gilbert has, but I am running a system wide spamassasin and not per user.

Make sure you restart the processes after you add the rules - at least I do.
I just stop and restart the whole qmail system with qmailctl.

Hope that helps.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Whitelisting in SpamAssassin

2012-09-04 Thread Casey James Price 

Thanks Gilbert.

The main thing that separates my current configuration from most of QMT 
users is the fact that my company is using 3 different QMT "Gateway" 
hosts (these boxes are basically just running the core components of QMT 
+ Spamydke, and then with the help of smtproutes, pass the traffic to 
the QMT spamassassin box, and from there it goes to either a legacy 
Solaris QMR install, or bypasses SA1 altogether and goes to an 
up-to-date standard QMT server).


I'm working on consolidating the roles of the servers so that the 
gateway boxes also run SA, and then are passed off to a mailbox server, 
however for the time being my SpamAssassin server doesn't contain any of 
the users or mailboxes and strictly receives whatever the gateways allow 
and pass to it, and then it uses sa & simscan to filter that mail before 
it is handed off to its final destination.


Sowith all of that in mind, anyone have any further recommendations?

Thanks everyone!
