It showed up.  Guess nobody commented on it, but it sounds like a neat tool
if you are using SQL.

A simple solution is to employ spamd/spamc and call spamc from procmail. 
I use this with a site-wide bayes and dnsbl's in sendmail.

Spamass-milter. It sits between Sendmail and spamd and does what needs 
to be done.

NANAS

I know what NANAS is, in fact I report to it nightly, however, my question is 
at times I've seen a site mentioned that has say 20 NANAS, from where is that 
information gotten?

Hey all,

I was migrating over to SQL, and I've written a script that allows users to 
migrate their prefs into (and out of) a SQL database, including some command 
line switches for root to be able to migrate all users in at once. My code's 
not the cleanest in the world, but I'm trying.


I wrote it as a stub so my existing tools to edit prefs files would still 
work.


I don't know if I've duplicated any effort here, but would anyone be 
interested in such a script?  Should I submit it as a bug report or just 
provide a link?  Do I need to sign away anything if I wanted to "contribute" 
it to the actual SA base?


Please let me know.

I handle the security for the most part.  However, it's a decision 
that's out of my hands.  Besides which if things do go wrong I can't 
take any of the blame for it ;)


I would imagine given the choice of an Exchange front-end server vs. a

Absolutely.  But the in thing these days is shared calendars.  Yes, 
there is indeed many solutions that can be implemented in Linux but (a) 
the IT department doesn't have much Linux experience if at all, (b) the 
users of the shared calendaring system are mainly Windows users running 
Outlook anyway and (c) the email/communication systems is more of an IT 
thing than the department that I work for (we manage production systems 
rather than IT related stuff - the only reason we ended up running the 
mail system was due to the IT's lack of Linux/mail server experience so 
many years ago).

Re: Spam

2005-05-28 Thread Raymond Dijkxhoorn

Hi!


Just to keep up; pictilpict4. com is the multitrade group, who now
calls themselves omnicorporation. biz (since every domain with multitrade
in its name has been suspended).

These guys are *very* good at finding techniques to "beat" both SA
and the SpamCop parser, but they don't really seem to even try to hide (i.e.
this domain has a brand new name and address, but uses name servers in an
old "frozen" domain).

The domain in the URI: pictilpict4 .com is currently listed in 4
or 5 SURBLs.  In versions of SA where this message would be
parsed correctly, the URI gets detected.

Most people use rbldnsd to serve up a local RBL zone file.
