Re: SA-Update required modules

2006-08-07 Thread Nigel Frankcom
I had similar problems on CentOS 32 & 64; I ended up installing the
Net::Ident with yum instead (off the dag repo), that worked ok...

yum install perl-Net-Ident.noarch

The INET6 can be installed the same way, though I don't think it's
critical to have it in.

Without some of the body I've no idea what would block these other
than DNS rules. And if you are one of the first to be attacked they
are often ineffective.

The originating address is from another .sg computer.
d121101.ppp121.cyberway.com.sg

So network rules might not even work.

One thing I notice that might be trapped upon is that these two headers
and the "To:" do not agree. But that is not a particularly strong
spam sign.

If you are not a member of advisor.com's mailing lists you could
simply black list them. If you are you might want to generate a

be two rules and a meta rule to put them together. (I don't know

I'm running 3.1.3 with a bunch of SARE and local rules on my hosted
server, which only has 96MB of RAM and 196MB of swap. It's also
running BIND serving as authoritative for a few domains, and apache
serving static content, but no databases or other fancy stuff.

I have it configured to only spawn one child and run all scans
sequentially, as I don't really care if it takes a couple of minutes
to score a message.

It works reliably, though there's little margin for adding much else.
If there was any less memory I would not be able to run SA.

How much swap do you have? And what else is running on the server?

The problem with that is that many Distros don't release upgrades very often.
The only problem you are likely too have in this regard is spamd located in 
a non-standard place. So check dates.

It might be wise to uninstall the rpm just prior to doing the CPAN route.

Be sure to follow and install all the pre-requisite cpan modules.
There are some that just do not work, and won't build.  You can ignore
these.  But do get the network tests working if possible.

I would have sworn there used to be a domain registration rule that
said pure-numeric domains were illegal, but I'm not sure.


The RFC's actually state that a domain MUST start with a letter, and
be any letter or digit or hyphen after. So according to the RFC's
purely numberic domains are illegal.

(e.g. From RFC 1035)

 ::=  | " "

 ::=  |  "." 

 ::=  [ [  ]  ]

 ::=  |  

 ::=  | "-"

 ::=  | 

 ::= any one of the 52 alphabetic characters A through Z in
upper case and a through z in lower case

 ::= any one of the ten digits 0 through 9


Seems clear to me... And since RFC1035 is still current, I'm not sure why
purely numeric domains are considered acceptable. (Apart from I can't
think
of a really good reason apart from pedanticness to stop them).


Well, some browsers allow you to put in "google" for the address and
will self-complete to what it thinks you wants. If there is a number
only in there the browser will likely try to interpret the number
as an 32 IP address in decimal form.

All those addresses would hit network 0, though. And that is a reserved
net number.

Hostname vs DomainName

RFC1035 is still current. never superceeded. It states Domain names. RFC1123 
says hostnames... In fact RFC1035 isn't even marked as updated! (At least the 
copies I'm looking at now)

AFAICS RFC1123 only mentions hostnames, nothing about domains. A small 
semantic difference I know, but possibly an important one. I wonder what 
Cricket has to say about domain names being all digits? Possibly it comes 
under the be lenient in what you accept & rigid in what you present rule.

RFC1912 throws more wood on the fire...


 Allowable characters in a label for a host name are only ASCII
   letters, digits, and the `-' character.  Labels may not be all
   numbers, but may have a leading digit  (e.g., 3com.com).  Labels must
   end and begin only with a letter or digit.  See [RFC 1035] and [RFC
   1123].  (Labels were initially restricted in [RFC 1035] to start with
   a letter, and some older hosts still reportedly have problems with
   the relaxation in [RFC 1123].)  Note there are some Internet
   hostnames which violate this rule (411.org, 1776.com).  The presence
   of underscores in a label is allowed in [RFC 1033], except [RFC 1033]
   is informational only and was not defining a standard.  There is at
   least one popular TCP/IP implementation which currently refuses to
   talk to hosts named with underscores in them.  It must be noted that
   the language in [1035] is such that these rules are voluntary -- they
   are there for those who wish to minimize problems.  Note that the
   rules for Internet host names also apply to hosts and addresses used
   in SMTP (See RFC 821).


So even rfc1912 still thinks all digit domains are incorrect... But it 
interprets 1123 as meaning hosts & domains. But even in 1996 it was 
recognised that the registrars didn't really follow the RFC's properly... 


I still think all digit domains are probably worth a point or so.

In frustration I edited /etc/resolv.conf and removed 127.0.0.1, URI 
lookups are completing and MailScanner is blasting through the queues on 
both machines exceedingly fast now.


No idea what could have possibly changed, dnscache is normally 
bulletproof. I run it on a dozen servers as a local cache, it is a 
standard install on all my servers and all installs share the same 
config. Especially since dig worked, and still works to 127.0.0.1.


Very odd.

The latter is caused by the former, btw.  Perhaps something is over quota or
otherwise out of space?  Alternately, something like selinux restricting what

The first error happens if you can open the journal file for appending,
but doing the write actually fails (in this case, nothing was able to

Oh... I forget... a previous round of discussions about this killed off this 
idea because there is much potential for abuse.

Consider this... a 419 spammer decides to poison such a list by filling out the 
form and submitting "forged" 419 samples where they paste a 419 scam e-mail 
into the box, but use a innocent person's yahoo/hotmail/etc e-mail address.

Eventually, too many FPs and it is hard to tell the difference between the 
"real" 419 addresses and the "fake" ones which are really legit addresses of 
innocent people.

But I still think it could be done on a trust basis:

(1) submissions ONLY accepted from password-protected accounts... no option for 
anonomous submissions

(2) no data from account fed into system until X number of submissions from 
that account which match up with OTHER submitters's data

(3) data from that submitter nullified as soon as X number of submissions 
become suspect... with  (percent questioned/percent not questioned) factored 
in... knowing that if someone submits thousands of true 419 scams at some 
point, a few of these will be questioned)

Re: Spam with mail address in it

2006-08-07 Thread Rob McEwen (PowerView Systems)
> Maybe uribl could be changed to also check mail addresses, too?

Chris,

SURBL and URIBL are not intended to be used for checking against the domains of 
e-mail addresses, even when the e-mail is contained within the body of the 
message.

In spite of that, I did used to do this... but I discovered that this was a 
large source for FPs... particularly e-mails which went through many rounds of 
forwarding and left dozens of e-mail addresses in the body of the message.

However, I do think that it would be great if someone created a dns-based 
blacklist stricktly for e-mails contained within the body of the message. This 
would be handy for catching the spam that you mentioned as well as for MANY 419 
scam e-mails.

In fact, Joe Wein maintains just such a list on his web site that one can 
download and then integrate into their system. But I often find that the few 
such spams which make it past my system wouldn't have been caught if checked 
against Joe's list anyways.

I attribute this to two things:

(1) dns lists that are most successful when they use **multiple** data input 
sources, all working together

(2)  turnaround time from the intitial reports to the domain (or e-mail 
address, in this case) being listed must also be lightening fast.

(but I may be making assumptions here about Joe's list)

Perhaps sometime someone can take Joe's data and create a web site like URIBL 
were people can report e-mail addresses found in scam spam to create a more 
comprehensive list with faster turnaround?

Hello,


today we received a non-recognized spam mail which contained only
plaintext + an email address to write to.

The email was [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I wanted to see if uribl maybe
lists the domain.

The command

hostx -t TXT summerdayzz.com.multi.uribl.com

gave me:

summerdayzz.com.multi.uribl.com TXT "Blacklisted, see
http://lookup.uribl.com/?domain=summerdayzz.com";


Maybe uribl could be changed to also check mail addresses, too?

Deal with the fact that the RFCs don't support such names, and petition for a 
new RFC that accomodates their names?

Other businesses have had no issues adapting to the requirements of the RFCs, 
so why they should be singled out, I don't know.

The RFC's actually state that a domain MUST start with a letter, and
be any letter or digit or hyphen after. So according to the RFC's
purely numberic domains are illegal.

(e.g. From RFC 1035)

 ::=  | " "

 ::=  |  "." 

 ::=  [ [  ]  ]

 ::=  |  

 ::=  | "-"

 ::=  | 

 ::= any one of the 52 alphabetic characters A through Z in
upper case and a through z in lower case

 ::= any one of the ten digits 0 through 9


Seems clear to me... And since RFC1035 is still current, I'm not sure why
purely numeric domains are considered acceptable. (Apart from I can't
think
of a really good reason apart from pedanticness to stop them).

Bayes_path is misnamed, it is both a path and a filename prefix.  "/" isn't

That might be useful as a pre-test filter, such as looking to see if
MPART_ALT_DIFF fired before doing anything else. From there I can grep to
see if text/plain has any printable characters.

What's the most efficient way to grab the text/plain part?

Thanks for your lists.
This leads me onto another point, are there any lists of domains which 
NEVER send out ham?


I do block some domains such as:
management-skills-uk.co.uk
bahamasvacationdealweb.com

which i have received a lot of spam from in the past but i don't know if 
they still do send spam.


Obviously most spam comes from forged email addresses but if there was a 
list of forged domains which never send ham, i expect it would catch a 
significant proportion of spam.


I don't want to block spammy domains like hanmail.net because i do get 
some ham from them as well which i can't block.


Thanks,

All-numeric domains are popular in China because they are easier for
people to deal with than alphabetic domains. For example, 263.com is
China's second-largest ISP. You can't just assume that an all-numeric
domain is necessarily abusive, any more so than Yahoo or Fastmail.

I have a US customer with a numeric domain.

Not sure why they did that (boy, did it muck up Microsoft NT!)

Funny thing, when the spammers starting dictionary attacks, they do it
in alphabetic order, so numeric domains get hit with spam first also.

OK than let's put this in another 'political' context:
 
Caring about 'legitimate' e-mail coming from those domains would be like caring 
for the few 'legitimate' bombs dropped over Iraq, Afghanistan or Lebanon.
 
It would indeed be better to have no bombs at all

All-numeric domains are popular in China because they are easier for
people to deal with than alphabetic domains. For example, 263.com is
China's second-largest ISP. You can't just assume that an all-numeric
domain is necessarily abusive, any more so than Yahoo or Fastmail.

Re: spamd not well after crash

It would be easier to fire up CPAN and install the latest than to
try and figure it out.  You are back level 2 or 4 releases.


If you previously installed from a distro of some kind you should probably 
upgrade using the newer distro rather than CPAN directly; otherwise you can 
end up with mucked up installations since some distros move things around.




ok. i'll be doing it. but we are using vpopmail with individual
preferences for every user. does that mean that every single user has to
start from scratch?!  how do you rebuild individual databases?!
i remember asking bout that in order to be able to do black/white listing
per user and as far as i remember that was not possible?!?!?!
and what happened the the rbl lookups?!?!


Not much has changed in regards to any of this between 3.0.4 and now.  The 
major change is that there are more things in plugins, and some of them 
arean't enabled by default.  You will have to look for init.pre and any 
other *.pre files in the same general place, and see which things you want 
to uncomment.  I think some of the RBLs may qualify for this.


The user config files, if they were up to date in 3.0 and not spitting 
warnings, will probably still be OK.  There has been some added syntax 
checking, so things that were wrong but didn't get complaints before might 
get complaints now.  Same with your site-wide config files.  As always, it 
is a good idea to run --lint after the new install to see what it might 
complain about.


I don't believe either the Bayes or AWL databases have changed since around 
3.0, so I don't think you should have to do any rebuilding as the result of 
the upgrade.

Is there any meaning to "263" in Chinese?

I'd say it ALWAYS fails to deliver email, since it doesn't do that. ;)

Re: sender in blacklist_from but message is delivered to recipient

From: "Daniel Chojecki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Hello,

my conf is:
postfix-2.3.2
spamd 3.1.4
blacklist_from in sql.

The problem is that spamd delivers message even when the sender
is on blacklist_from - in logs i see - user_in_blacklist.

Any idea ?


All is normal. SpamAssassin NEVER fails to deliver email. It simply
marks it as spam. It is the job of whatever called SpamAssassin to
parse the return and filter as you wish. (I simply filter by letting
OE sort into folders. The spam folder gets checked once or twice a
day for false alarms at low scores. Otherwise it just gets trashed.)
