Re: [spamdyke-users] Spam Stats

Sergio, Eric,

It's nothing really worth worldwide attention. It's a simple php
script that collects data from various sources and aggregates them.
Here is the relevant part:

 $res = sprintf( Antispam Statistics for:  .date('d/m/Y', 
time()-86400).
 \n\n.
  Good : % 6d = %6.2f %%\n.
Unsure : % 6d = %6.2f %%\n.
 Virus : % 6d = %6.2f %%\n.
 BAD Sender: % 6d = %6.2f %%\n.
 BAD  Rcpt : % 6d = %6.2f %%\n.
 Pure SPAM : % 6d = %6.2f %%\n.
   SPAMMER : % 6d = %6.2f %%\n%s.
 --\n.
 Total : % 6d = 100.00 %%\n\n,
 $pure_good,  100.0 * $pure_good / $total_mails,
 $unsure, 100.0 * $unsure / $total_mails,
 $virus,  100.0 * $virus / $total_mails,
 $pure_spam,  100.0 * $pure_spam / $total_mails,
 $bad_sender, 100.0 * $bad_sender / $total_mails,
 $bad_rcpt,   100.0 * $bad_rcpt / $total_mails,
 $intrusion,  100.0 * $intrusion / $total_mails,
 $spamdyke,
 $total_mails );

It's not based on any other statistics script, as it need to serve only
my own purposes.  Virus stats are collected through clamav, bad_sender/rcpt
are chkuser GREPs, and so on.

Mirko,

That answers the 'pretty formatting' part, but the meat of the sandwich 
is collecting the stats. I'm afraid that Virus stats are collected 
through clamav, bad_sender/rcpt are chkuser GREPs, and so on leaves us 
hanging. :(

The data collection code is what I'm most interested in. Are the stats 
gathered continually and stored, or are they gathered dynamically on 
demand? This is the code I'm most interested in. The $spamdyke part is 
particularly mysterious. If it's a bit disjointed that's ok. I'm sure 
that we can work with it.

Thanks again.

You can collect data in a various amount of ways.  For continuous collection
I suggest to use collectd package, altough for spam/mail statistics I'm afraid
you'll have to write your own plugins.
To count the entries in a daily rotated log file a simple

grep VIRUS FOUND clamav/current.1 | wc -l

is enough.  The same applies to other patterns in the log file.

The data collection code is what I'm most interested in. Are the stats
gathered continually and stored, or are they gathered dynamically on

Since they are a daily statistic, they are collected after logfile rotation
and stored/processed.

Re: [spamdyke-users] Spam Stats

2009-09-03 Thread Sebastian Grewe
Hey list,

I just looked at those stats and compared the output to what I am having
on our boxes and I started wondering:

When I check the log files, Spamdyke logs the following

FILTER_RBL_MATCH : When listed in the RDNS
DENIED_RBL_MATCH : For each recipient address in the mail

So basically it will result in 1 FILTER match but 1 DENIED match for
each mail address.

Doesn't that mean that using the DENIED match will not result in the
actual denied mails but rather in a much higher number? I am currently
looking for both FILTER_ and DENIED_ flags and sum those up to find out
how many mails I rejected - but I am guessing here that looking for
FILTER_ alone would make more sense.

Here my output, wrote the script today - Mirkos' output inspired me :)
It's tailored to work for our environment though.

I don't have any FILTER_RBL messages. I'm using log-level=2.
What log level are you using?

I think that it's appropriate to count each recipient as a separate 
email. If the message came from a qmail server, it would be that way 
anyhow. And after all, that's how many messages end up being delivered.

Hey Eric,

Yeah, my log level is higher - didn't think about that.

I was more thinking about a statistic for the incoming connection. If
you look at it as a mail counter for mails being delivered, yeah, DENIED
makes way more sense.

I will just keep the counters like they are now, they still give me a
pretty good idea of what's going on.

Thanks Eric, as fast as usual!

I think you're misunderstanding the keywords feature.  spamdyke does not 
examine message content, so it cannot stop messages that contain 
Viagra or any other specific words.

When spamdyke searches for keywords, it looks for those keywords in the 
remote server's rDNS name.  The purpose of the feature is to block 
messages from infected PCs on home cable modems.  Most cable providers 
use a predictable naming scheme for their rDNS names, such as 
11-22-33-44.dynamic.example.com.  If spamdyke finds a configured 
keyword AND the IP address in the rDNS name, it will block the 
connection.  That's all.

On my server, 30%-50% of all connections are blocked by this filter 
every day.  I use a short list of simple keywords like dynamic, 
cable, etc to great effect.

Re: [spamdyke-users] Spam Stats

2009-09-02 Thread Sam Clippinger
Actually, the keyword filter doesn't match that way.  In order for a 
keyword to match, it must be surrounded by non-alphanumeric characters 
(dots or dashes).  This is because I don't want the keyword dynamic to 
be found in a name like 11-22-33-44.nondynamic.example.com, that just 
isn't fair.

Unfortunately this also means more entries in the keywords file.

 dial will already match dialin, dialpool and dialup, so there's
 no need to include those three, just dial. Same with a few of the others.

No, it will always be like that, until the Internet (or its users) grows up.

Our typical figures are between 95% and 97% being denied.

It doesn't make me sad though. It makes me MAD. Furious, in fact. Most of
what we get comes from end-users in China, Eastern Europe and South America
who have allowed their machines to become zombied.

It appears as if the blacklist_keywords can capture a lot of Spam.  So far
we have nothing in that file.  We are worried about the refusal of emails
which may be genuine.  So while we might want to blacklist Viagra, we would
not want to blacklist an email from a medical person, for example, which
might refer to Viagra (I'm not even sure that this email will make it to the
list having mentioned that word!).

Do people have tried and tested contents of that file which they can advise

Re: [spamdyke-users] Spam Stats

2009-09-01 Thread David Mitchell
Just a suggestion, but I'm thinking that you could optimise this a bit.
dial will already match dialin, dialpool and dialup, so there's
no need to include those three, just dial. Same with a few of the others.

Cheers,
Dave

 I think you're misunderstanding the keywords feature.  spamdyke does not
 examine message content, so it cannot stop messages that contain
 Viagra or any other specific words.

 When spamdyke searches for keywords, it looks for those keywords in the
 remote server's rDNS name.  The purpose of the feature is to block
 messages from infected PCs on home cable modems.  Most cable providers
 use a predictable naming scheme for their rDNS names, such as
 11-22-33-44.dynamic.example.com.  If spamdyke finds a configured
 keyword AND the IP address in the rDNS name, it will block the
 connection.  That's all.

 On my server, 30%-50% of all connections are blocked by this filter
 every day.  I use a short list of simple keywords like dynamic,
 cable, etc to great effect.
