Re: [qmailtoaster] spam blocking questions
Rajesh, Look very closely at this line in your header.. Received-SPF: fail (ns1.xx.com: SPF record at xx.com *does not designate 208.115.35.224* as permitted sender) This ip is not supposed to be an authorized sender for x.com. Run that ip against the sites I listed. Look at other abusive mail and find these ips listed in your headers and do the same and see how many are foreign with a fraud profile and get busy establishing some lite firewalls to drop their entire CDIR or setup spamdyke to block certain country codes in the /etc/spamdyke/blacklist_keywords file. Of course if you are in the US you can just uncomment the line *reject-ip-in-cc-rdns* in the spamdyke.conf file. Now if i can just keep my domain from greylisting itself I should be good.

Re: [qmailtoaster] spam blocking questions
I would take a closer look at the header and see where the orginating ip is coming from then run it against dns reports or ipcountryblocks.net to see what country it belongs to and check its fraud profile. Ill bet 99% that it is going to register on some level. If you find this to be the case then confirm against other related spam email to see if it is foreign and if so spamdyke has a configuration to specifically drop certain country codes or allow them. I am confirming this with Jake offlist.

This subject comes up on other mail server mailing lists almost weekly. Basically the bulk of them are blocked by blacklists (RBLs) or by performing reverse DNS checks. Spamassassin cannot catch them; I have many users (especially with Blackberry devices) who BCC their own messages to themselves for archiving purposes. I used to do this myself until I switched to IMAP exclusively. You *can* enable SURBL checks in Spamassassin which may score them enough to tag them as spam (and possibly delete them depending on your settings) but that's all Spamassassin can do. - Managed Qmailtoaster servers are now available Visit http://qmailtoaster.com/QMTManaged.html to order yours today!

If you know IP addresses, you can probably write a maildrop script to parse this or a very advanced Spamassassin rule, but I think it would be less resource intensive to handle it via maildrop. - Managed Qmailtoaster servers are now available Visit http://qmailtoaster.com/QMTManaged.html to order yours today!

[qmailtoaster] spam blocking questions
hi this is more related to spamassassin. 1) I sometimes receive spam mail with both the mail from and the mail to as the same email id. I need a spamassassin rule to block such emails if the same does not originate from my server. So basically i need to check if header mail from and mail to are the same and also whether the source of the email is my server ip if not then allocate a score to the email. 2) a spamassassin rule to compare the mail from and envelope sender (reply-to) and if both don't match then allocate a particular score to the email. thanks rajesh - Managed Qmailtoaster servers are now available Visit http://qmailtoaster.com/QMTManaged.html to order yours today!
