[SAtalk] Rules for word-jumble spam

2004-01-10 Thread Rich Wales
I came up with a set of rules which appear to catch the new strain
of spam with a meaningless jumble of words in the body, while hope-
fully not catching any legitimate mail.  See below; comments welcome,
and (naturally) everyone is free to use these rules if you want to.

Regarding my body rule (__MPOP_HTML1):  The first line of text in the
message body, before the graphic and the nonsense text, is broken up
by meaningless HTML end tags.  For example, a line in a recent spam
that showed up as "Free Cable_ TV" looked like this in the raw HTML:

Free Cable_ TV

[SAtalk] sa-learn --rebuild for all users

2004-01-10 Thread Quinn Comendant
I'm an administrator of a spamassassin-enabled server with 250 users. I'm
upgrading from 2.55 -> 2.61 and, as suggested in the INSTALL doc, want to
use "sa-learn --import" and "sa-learn --rebuild" to update the DB_File
Bayes files for every user on the system. Each user's files are stored
in: /home/username/.spamassassin/

1. Is it possible to run sa-learn to update all DBs en masse?

2. Or should I simply upgrade to 2.61 and ignore the --import and --
rebuild instructions. I assume this will delete all user's Bayes DB files.

If you help me I THANK YOU,

Quinn

I did it by using the hex equivalent (though this was to catch
lower-case i with an acute accent in the word "penis"): 

body L_OBFU_PENIS   /\b[Pp]en\xEDs\b/

You may need to play with  the "od" command to find out what the hex
(or octal) values are that you need.

The examples you give turn out to be \xE3, \xE5, \xEF.

xfilter "spamc"

same thing you'd use for invoking spamassassin or any other kind of
filter.

If you have virtual users, you'll need to look at the AuthCourier.pm
module submitted to the courier-users mailing list.  It makes spamd work
with courier's authdaemon and properly handles homedirs for users.

   Any notion of a "delete_mail" threshold must reside within your
qmail setup and not within SpamAssassin.  SpamAssassin *only* tags
e-mail as *possible* spam; it *never* deletes it.  Any deletion of
tagged messages (note that I did not say, "spam") is up to the
delivery agent that follows SA in the delivery pipe.

   As delivered, SA *cannot* delete e-mail.  Nor, in my humble opinion,
should it.  Sooner or later you *will* get a false-positive, and if
your system is designed to delete tagged-mail then you *will* lose
that message, irretrievably, forever.

   Cheers.

There is a mention of a delete_mail_threshold. I have been trying to

there a component require that includes this function, or should it be
included by default? (SA 2.61)

   The per-user configurability capabilities of the MySQL interface
go well beyond white/black-list and "required hits".  Whilst those
are sufficient for average users, it's also possible to override
scores on a per-user basis and either raise/lower per-rule scores
or even disable specific tests.

   The latter is important for people who routinely communicate with
sites that, for whatever reason, are listed in a DNS-blacklists, and
if a site is implementing hightly-custom rules.

   Cheers.

1.  WHAT IS IT?

This program is used to compute scores for SpamAssassin rules.  It makes
use of data files generated by the suite of scripts in
spamassassin/masses.  The program outputs the generated scores in a file
titled 'perceptron.scores'.

The advantage of this program over that of the genetic algorithm (GA)
implementation in spamassassin/masses/craig_evolve.c is that while the GA
requires several hours to run on high-end machines, the perceptron
requires only about 15 seconds of CPU time on an Athlon XP 1700+ system.

This makes incremental updates and score personalization practical for the
end-user and gives developers a better idea just how useful a new rule is.
[...]

This looks interesting. I echo Sidney's follow-up:

"That's impressive. How close are the results to those of the GA? That's
actually two questions: 1) How close is the scoring that the perceptron
comes up with to the scoring that the GA comes up with? and 2) How much
difference in spam categorization results is there between using the
scores generated by the perceptron and those generated by the GA?"

This approach looks like it does a good job of mixing some of the benefits
of a the current additive scoring approach and a Neural Net. The final
neural
net that is derived is much simpler than a full-fledged net, but it has the
advnatage of being simple to understand, and maps well onto the existing
framework.

It would've been interesting to see what sorts of scores this approach
produced,
and how well they worked in practice. (There's also a question of copyright
that
would need to be resolved for this approach to gain wider use.)

Not that similar. The GA as I understand it, is using an AI technique
to optimize a linear equation - which is given by: Sum(score[i]) for
each i-th rule. This means that a rule is constrained to have the same
weight in all contexts. Let's say that a given rule is not a good
determinant
of spam when seen with rules A and B, but is a good determinant of spam when
seen with rules C and D. In the current framework, the rule would get the
same weighting in both contexts, but a trained neural network is capable of
differentiating those situations and giving a higher weightin in the (C,D)
context. Also, NN's use a non-linear function that a function that has a
sharp cutoff in the middle, thus the NN will tend to disambiguate close
calls
more sharply than a linear function would.

See above on the GA. The Bayes would still be a component in the scoring
as it is now. Bayes represents the adapative aspect of SA, and would
continue to do so.

One difficulty of a NN approach is that it wouldn't work well with new
custom rules without retraining, and for that reason it may be unsuitable
for many situations.

[SAtalk] mysql user preferences

2004-01-10 Thread Ricardo Kleemann
Hi,

If I configure SA to use mysql user preferences, does it allow for *any*
configuration option to be overriden?

For example, if I have skip_rbl_checks as 0 in local.cf (so RBL checks are
ENABLED) can I then insert a skip_rbl_checks into mysql and set it to 1 to
disable RBL for a particular user?

Thanks
ricardo

[SAtalk] problem getting full email to spamd with --virtual-config-dir

2004-01-10 Thread oj
hello,
Im using 2.61, sendmail,e spamass-milter, spamc and spamd. I have a 2 machine 
setup sendmail on one and spamd on the other.

No matter what i do i can't get the full mail/user info to spamd for use in 
virtual config dirs. The only thing i get is the local part of the mailadress %
d gives nothing.

I am using:
spamassmilter -u root -r 30 -p "${SOCKET}" -f -- -d 
spamd -x -c --virtual-config-dir="/usr/local/spamassassin/%u/spamassassin" -u 
 -a -d -m 10 -i 0.0.0.0 -A 

any clue to what i do wrong? or how i should get it to work?

regards, ove

Re: [SAtalk] own rules still not working --- maybe there's something wrong with the rules?

2004-01-10 Thread Adam D. Lopresto
My first thought would be to make sure that you're restarting spamd after
making the changes.  If you are, then make sure spamd is running as a user with
access to where you put the rule (but if you went so far as to stick it in the
global rules, that would seem to eliminate that).

[SAtalk] Trying to filter the blue pills beginning with V

2004-01-10 Thread Kai Poppe/Redaktion SDCE
Hello List
(hope that message gets through the list filter anyways *g*)

I tried to create a rule to filter occurences of the word for the blue
little pills beginning with V, that contained unsual letters for i and a
(like ã,å,ï aso...) but unfortunately only the word containing "normal"
letters is recognized, the others not.
I inserted the letters into the .cf using MC on my linux-bash. do i need to
use another /\b(?:windows)\*argh\*\b/i editor ?

Would be happy for any suggestions

Thanks

The original mbox had only 4 messages in it.

I ran some more through last night >100 and Pyzor failed to report 12% of
them.

[SAtalk] own rules still not working --- maybe there's something wrong with the rules?

2004-01-10 Thread Stefan Urbat
Watch out for following rule, as mentioned working fine with direct
invocation of the spamassassin script, but even after putting it in the
/usr/share/spamassassin 20_head_tests.cf and 50_scores.cf files (did so
for pure desparation and testing; I know, that this is a no-no) it is
consequently ignored by spamd (adding 3.100 3.100 3.100 in the score line
doesn't change anything, before the From =~ I put in a tab instead of
space, also without any effect):

header FROM_HAS_UNDERSCORE_IN   From =~ /_.{1,2}\@/
describe FROM_HAS_UNDERSCORE_IN From: local part contains a spam
positioned underscore character

score FROM_HAS_UNDERSCORE_IN 3.1

Any kind of help is highly appreciated...

Hi Folks

I'm getting emails caught by SA 1.61 on the following rules. Not sure why as
I sent it myself from MS Office Outlook
2003
(11.5608.5606)

 3.3 FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK Forged mail pretending to be from MS Outlook
 0.9 MISSING_OUTLOOK_NAME Message looks like Outlook, but isn't

Any ideas?
