[SAtalk] Comments on CBL DNSBL (cbl.abuseat.org)
Hi, Does anyone have any comments on the quality of the cbl.abuseat.org DNSBL? I noticed that it isn't used in SpamAssassin, but it is one of the black lists checked by spamcop. Is anyone else using this list? The purpose of the CBL is to list open proxies (of all types) which have been detected through spam traps. Any comments about the use of this list would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Robert -- Robert James Kaes--- Flarenet Inc. ---(519) 426-3782 http://www.flarenet.com/consulting/ * Putting the Service Back in Internet Service Provider * pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm currently logging any hits to see if it's worth adding to my per user DNSBLs that I use to reject mail to the people who get the most spam. The ones at http://abuse.easynet.nl are also well worth a look. Does anyone know why SpamAssassin only used the dynablock.easynet.nl list, and not any of the other *.easynet.nl lists? Are those *.easynet.nl lists composites or duplicates of other lists already in SpamAssassin? -- Robert -- Robert James Kaes--- Flarenet Inc. ---(519) 426-3782 http://www.flarenet.com/consulting/ * Putting the Service Back in Internet Service Provider * pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [SAtalk] passing user: in qmail scripts

Any fellow qmail users up against this?? If you look in the qmail-command man page you will see that the RECIPIENT environment variable is set to the expanded email address for the user. I have a script I run from the .qmail file that takes this information to determine which SQL user prefs to use. You can find the script at: http://www.flarenet.com/consulting/software/spamassassin/spamassassin.sh It should hopefully be commented enough to follow. If you go up one directory in the path above you will find additional information. (The key lines are the recipient comment though.) I hope this helps. -- Robert -- Robert James Kaes--- Flarenet Inc. ---(519) 426-3782 http://www.flarenet.com/consulting/ * Putting the Service Back in Internet Service Provider * pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [SAtalk] Spam Rejection Message

The only other way I know of dealing with this at the MDA level is to route rejected email to /dev/null, which would mean that legit email caught by SA (there has been some) would be lost without any notification of the sender, which isn't acceptable. I know of no way to use SA at the MTA level with qmail, and don't use Postfix. :-/ What I've done to use SA with qmail is to put in the .qmail file something like: |/usr/local/bin/spamassassin.sh Where spamassassin.sh is shell script which calls spamc and then checks to see if the message was tagged as spam. If so is calls something like this to bounce the message: if [[ $message_score -ge $spam_limit ]]; then exec bouncesaying Your Email was Rejected by out SPAM filters. fi Otherwise it delivers the message using the maildir command and exits with a return value of 0. If you'd like I can post my script. It also does a bunch of other things like pull the spam_limit from a SQL database, and also handle the forwarding of email to a remote address. -- Robert -- -- Robert James Kaes--- Flarenet Inc. ---(519) 426-3782 http://www.flarenet.com/ * Putting the Service Back in Internet Service Provider * -- msg11518/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
[SAtalk] Understanding the Spam Phrase Scores
Hi, Could someone please explain to me how the scoring works for the spam phrases rule? For example, why does the phrase orders more have a score of 330, while the phrase from our has a score of 8294? What do those scores signify, and how does one know what score to set for a new phrase? Thanks for any insight you can provide. -- Robert -- -- Robert James Kaes--- Flarenet Inc. ---(519) 426-3782 http://www.flarenet.com/ * Putting the Service Back in Internet Service Provider * -- --- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
