RE: optional score in local.cf is not working

2006-11-29 Thread Leon Kolchinsky
Hi,

I thought I was wrong and amavis restart didn't really helped there, but 
there is an update for this problem I had with configuration in local.cf not 
catching.

It seems that only when I do /etc/init.d/amavis restart, all configs in 
local.cf are coming intact.

I've used to an old version of amavis and SA on Suse, where you would only do 
changes to local.cf and spamd restart.

1) So, my question is - Is this a normal behavior? 
2) For every change in local.cf should I do now only amavis restart and no 
spamd restart?

Leon

As far as I am aware any setting changes in the local.cf need a
restart of spamd. Whether or not amavis does this for you I don't
know. I do recall someone recently mentioning that the Amavis doesn't
give enough time and/or wait for the return from spamd. Though this
may not be at all related to your issue.

For a simple test. Make a change and manually restart spamassassin,
then undo the change, restart just amavis and see if amavis picks it
up?

Re: Updated to SA 3.1.3 to get sa-update... But:

2006-11-29 Thread Jeremy Fairbrass
Why does your rule not work? It looks good to me, if you're trying to detect 
a subject consisting of (for example): hi it's John or something. Can you 
give some exact samples of subject lines you're trying to flag?

If this string (hi it's ) is the only thing in those subject fields - 
nothing else at all - then it might be wise to anchor your regex to the 
start and end of the field using ^ and $ as follows:

headerHI_ITS_NAME   Subject =~ /^hi it's +[a-z]+$/i

...That way, you avoid potential false positives.

Cheers,

 1) So, my question is - Is this a normal behavior? 
   
Yes. Because amavisd-new uses the API, restarting spamd should have no
affect on it. I don't know why your old version ever used spamd, as it's
highly inefficient for a perl application to do so instead of calling
Mail::SpamAssassin.
 2) For every change in local.cf should I do now only amavis restart and no 
 spamd restart?
   
Yes.. and you should also change your system to not run spamd anymore.

Amavisd-new does not use spamd, so running it is a waste of memory.



sa-update installation

2006-11-29 Thread Odhiambo Washington

Hello List,

I have successfully (I hope) installed and run sa-update, and
I see that it installed files in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/

In my FreeBSD box, I am used to the rules being in 
/usr/local/share/spamassassin and /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin.

Do I just go out for a cold beer and hope that SA will be reading
these rules as well?

What happens when I run sa-update? Does it update the rules files in
/usr/local/share/spamassassin or what?

Yes. Under the subject [Fwd: Your email message was blocked]

but they didn't talk about anything other than why the message was
kicked back.

The big question is should we continue to allow [EMAIL PROTECTED]

notification.

I personally vote for the removal of this user until they learn to

not respond to messages with Precedence: bulk or list.






effectivity with local tests only [auf Viren überprüft]

2006-11-29 Thread Hans Moser

Hi!

My environment is a bit weired.
I get all my Mails from my ISP's relay. So I disabled AWL.
I have no direct internet access. I can use HTTP over a proxy cascade
and SMTP with the relay host. No external DNS.

So I'm stuck with static rules and bayes. I trained SA with 1600 spam
mails and 220 ham mails.
After that I took one of the spams and invoke

# spamassassin --test-mode  spammail

[...]

Bayes ist nearly 100% certain that it is spam. It is spam, but the score
ist only 3,5.

Can you advice my something to adjust to get spam to the right score?

Set score of bayes up?
Lower score for spam?

Razor, Pyzor and DCC need direct internet access. If there is no other
way, I'll try to work this out with my ISP, but this will be hard work...

RE: optional score in local.cf is not working

2006-11-29 Thread Leon Kolchinsky
Hi,

OK.
I did some manual tests and indeed changes in local.cf only catching then I 
restart amavis.

# /etc/init.d/amavis restart
Shutting down virus-scanner (amavisd-new):Daemon [9905] terminated by SIGTERM

  done
Starting virus-scanner (amavisd-new):   
  done

When I restart only spamd no change in local.cf is catching.


I don’t really understand why?

Mark Martinec said that amavisd-new can't call spamd 

So, let me get this straight:
-
This is how I see the work of amavis+spamd+clamd:

1. As I see it amavis talk to spamd (spamassassin) and clamd (ClamAV) via 
appropriate sockets or TCP ports.
In my case - 
To clamd via /var/lib/clamav/clamd-socket (I can see it in amavisd.conf)
To spamd ? (I don't know how to check it)

2. Any configuration change I make to clamd and spamd take power only when I 
restart the deamons themselves.

3. But according to Matt Kettler response and my testings, any change to 
local.cf require amavis restart.

# /etc/init.d/amavis restart
Shutting down virus-scanner (amavisd-new):Daemon [9905] terminated by SIGTERM

  done
Starting virus-scanner (amavisd-new):   
  done


What is going on?
Where I can validate config options of amavis to make sure the way it works?



P.S.:


This is taken from /etc/init.d/amavis:
--
AMAVISD_BIN=/usr/sbin/amavisd
AMAVIS_MILTER_BIN=/usr/sbin/amavis-milter
echo -n Starting virus-scanner (amavisd-new):

Wich docs did you read?

The stuff at the link above lets you use p0f data on one machine even if p0f is 
running at another machine. I belive the other plugin that someone links to 
also has the ability to use p0f data on another machine.

this is how our setup looks:

The three relevant machines are
Monty: our firewall (OpenBSD)
Oliver: our statistics machine (FreeBSD)
Chip: our mail gateway (FreeBSD)

Monty runs p0f on the Internet interface using the p0f.udpsend script to 
forward the p0f data to Oliver.

Oliver uses the p0f.udplog script to collect the p0f data and insert it into a 
MySQL database.

Chip uses SpamAssassin, wich uses my p0f SpamAssassin plugin to get p0f data 
from Oliver.

Odd behaviour (?) of my Qmail / Qmail Scanner / SpamAssassin 3.1.3 Setup?

2006-11-29 Thread Adam Wilbraham
Hi,

I've got a bit of an odd situation whereby some obvious spam seems to
be slipping through the net of our setup. A prime example would be a
Re: hi spam which has just come through, an obvious looking spam
containing the text Hi and a drugs gif. Looking at the headers after
qmail scanner has pushed it through spamc, it gives the following key things:

--

--

As you can see, its only been given a score of 2.6. If I then log into the 
mailserver and run spamassassin on the message in my inbox, spamassassin 
scores it higher than that and marks it up as spam:

---
Content preview:  Hi Hi [...]

 2.6 RCVD_IN_DSBL   RBL: Received via a relay in list.dsbl.org
[http://dsbl.org/listing?88.229.73.122]
---

One of the key things for me is that this time the bayes probability is 
much higher, but this seems to happen with any spam that arrives in my 
inbox - it will come through with a lower score, but if I manually invoke SA 
on the message manually it will report back with a higher score thats picked 
up by more rules.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to what I might need to look into to 
rectify this behaviour? I was running 3.1.0 until yesterday when I upgraded 
to 3.1.3 to take advantage of sa-update, so my rulesets should not be the 
problem.

Many thanks in advance for any help provided.

when you run spamassassin it is running as the current user.  who are 
you logged in as?  When qmail-scanner runs spamc it is most likely 
running as a different user (maybe qscand?)  Different users will 
provide different results depending on the configuration.  Also, 
scanning a message at a later time may produce different results due to 
the message being listed in some RBL or razor,dcc,etc.

It sounds like you have the spamd bayes database, and then you have the 
database for whatever user you're actually running the test from.   I 
ran into this problem as well - it's a known issue, and I wish the SA 
folks would come up with a way to run, as root, sa-learn for a NON-ROOT 
bayes database.   Vpopmail directories aren't readable by spamd.


One possible fix is to look in /root/.spamassassin and check the bayes 
information there against /home/spamd/.spamassassin (or whatever the 
home directory is for the user that's running spamd for Qmail Scanner)

Moving to folder based upon spamassassin score

2006-11-29 Thread John W Mickevich
Hi all,

 

I have what is probably a simple question.  I know I have seen instructions
on this before, but cannot locate them and was hoping someone could point me
in the right direction.

 

I am using spamassassin with sendmail and am using .procmailrc to direct my
incoming email to be sent to spamassassin for scoring.

 

What I want to do is move email tagged as spam to a specific linux folder,
but I want it to be based upon the spamassassin score - not just the fact
that spamassassin tagged it as spam.

 

I am sure I need a .procmailrc entry, but I don't know what it would be.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

I am running SA 3.0.6-1 under Fedora Core 4 (2.6.17-1.2142_FC4).

 

And I just got this spam.  It's so obviously spam, how could it be scored
0.0?

 

Besides the updates, I've also installed:

70_sare_adult.cf

70_sare_specific.cf

70_sare_stocks.cf

 

Is there some other rule set I should be including?

 

Thanks!

 

Jon

 It sounds like you have the spamd bayes database, and then you have
 the database for whatever user you're actually running the test
 from.   I ran into this problem as well - it's a known issue, and I
 wish the SA folks would come up with a way to run, as root, sa-learn
 for a NON-ROOT bayes database.   Vpopmail directories aren't readable
 by spamd.

I'm not running vpopmail on this server. spamd is running as qscand,
however I've got my /etc/spamassasin/local.cf set to use a site wide
bayes database. I also have auto_whitelist configured, and I'm
wondering if this is such a good idea:

bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes
bayes_file_mode0770
auto_whitelist_path/etc/mail/spamassassin/auto-whitelist
auto_whitelist_file_mode   0770
use_bayes  1
bayes_auto_learn   1

I have a script that runs every night that sa-learn's data from each
users SpamTrain folder into this site wide database. Now I seriously
hope that spamd isn't reading its bayes data from qscands home, as this
data hasn't been touched for 2 years:

ls -alh ~/qscand/.spamassassin
drwxr-xr-x 2 qscand qscand 4.0K 2004-07-07 11:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 qscand root   4.0K 2006-07-26 11:28 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 qscand qscand 1.5K 2006-07-06 09:53 user_prefs

Maybe I should delete that and symlink in the files to the sitewide
bayes, just in case?

When I ran spamassassin on the item of spam I referred to earlier,  it
was using my own user account. I don't even have any data in
my .spamassassin folder, so I can only assume that it was using the
site wide bayes for its checks then. Or could my bayes data be
completely messed up, and spamassassin was doing a better job of
identifying spam under my user account with no bayes data at all? 

Once again many thanks for the suggestions and help...

Leon Kolchinsky wrote:
 
 So, let me get this straight:
 -
 This is how I see the work of amavis+spamd+clamd:
 
 1. As I see it amavis talk to spamd (spamassassin) and clamd (ClamAV)
 via appropriate sockets or TCP ports. 
 In my case -
 To clamd via /var/lib/clamav/clamd-socket (I can see it in
 amavisd.conf) 
 To spamd ? (I don't know how to check it)

Not quite.  Amavisd does not talk to spamd.  Amavisd has the SpamAssassin
code built into it.

 2. Any configuration change I make to clamd and spamd take power only
 when I restart the deamons themselves. 

If you were using spamd, you would need to restart it to apply the changes.
But since you are using Amavisd to run SpamAssassin, this is not necessary.

 3. But according to Matt Kettler response and my testings, any change
 to local.cf require amavis restart. 

When you restart Amavisd, it reads the local.cf file and uses that to
initialize its internal copy of SpamAssassin.

 # /etc/init.d/amavis restart
 Shutting down virus-scanner (amavisd-new):Daemon [9905] terminated by
  
 SIGTERM done 
 Starting virus-scanner (amavisd-new):
 done 
 
 
 What is going on?
 Where I can validate config options of amavis to make sure the way it
 works? 

You can shutdown spamd, you don't need it.

To sum it up, there are three ways to use SpamAssassin:

1) The spamassassin executable -- This loads everything each time you call
   it.  It is inefficient, but it is useful for simple scripts and for
   testing.
2) The spamd daemon -- This loads everything once and then scans messages
   passed to it by spamc.  This is much more efficient since it only has to
   load the Perl interpreter and all of the rulesets and plugins once.
3) The Mail::SpamAssassin Perl API -- This allows the SpamAssassin code to
   be called directly by another Perl program.  This is how Amavisd runs.
   It gets a message, calls the SpamAssassin routines, marks up the message,
   and sends it along.  It still only loads everything once, but it is being
   loaded into Amavisd instead of spamd.

 I know you can use sa-update to download the new sa-rules as they become

 releases.

   
Nope. Well, maybe via SVN, but that's about it.

The primary reason being that the standard rulesets are a bit specific
as to what rules works with what version. sa-update makes some version
checks and will, in theory, only download rules appropriate to your
version of SA.

If you're running a version that's old enough to not have sa-update, you
really should upgrade all of spamassassin before looking for better
rules. The code itself is quite critical to accuracy as improvements are
constantly made to various parts such as mime and URI parsers to deal
with spammer's tricks. Rules alone can't be a complete solution.

SA knows about the directories used by sa-update and will automatically use
the correct rules.

To be more specific, it checks /var/lib/spamassassin first.  If it finds
rules there, it uses them.  Otherwise, it goes to /usr/share/spamassassin.

I think the problem is the '*.*' at the end.  It is trying to run sa-learn

Hi Stas,


I am betting that the envelope-sender is the user that is in the whitelist 
and you are looking at the from address and thinking that the from address 
is not in the whitelist. 
We have run into a fair amount of the above situation on our system. I think it 
might be a good idea to make USER_IN_WHITELIST have a score of ~ -15 instead of 
~100.

Hi Stas,


I am betting that the envelope-sender is the user that is in the whitelist and you are looking at the from address and thinking that the from address is not in the whitelist. 
We have run into a fair amount of the above situation on our system. I think it might be a good idea to make USER_IN_WHITELIST have a score of ~ -15 instead of ~100.

Hi Steven,

On Wed, Nov 29, 2006 at 07:56:18AM -0600, Steven Stern told us:
 after sa-update runs, restart spamassassin and it will use the new rules
 in /var/lib/spamassassin.

 I have this as a cron job:

 30 3 * * *  sa-update  spamassassin --lint  /etc/init.d/spamassassin

I think you don't need the lint here, as sa-update internally does
this for each channel it gets updates for (at least this is what
the source tells me ;-) )


Kind regards,

The defaults are already quite high, and don't forget that more points

every word matched, but requiring that at least two words are found. 
Since most of the drug spams have several words, you are usually over 10

I mean I wouldn't add 10 points just because someone typed the V word in

Re: Why no bayes? [FIXED]

2006-11-29 Thread Dave Augustus
YMMV- I am not sure the *proper* way to do this (but I am glad there is
no registry- :) ).

Here ya go!

find /usr/lib/per5 -name SpamAssassin.pm

I have deleted mine but you should have 2 listings:

/usr/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm

The site-perl is, I believe, is the location where cpan installs. I can
confirm this by doing the following

find where the rpm installs to:
rpm -q spamassassin -l|grep SpamAssassin.pm

result:
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm


The location should be one of those 2 entries and THAT is the one you
want to keep. 

I then, for safety's sake, moved the non-rpm version, located at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.8.5/Mail

mv /usr/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.8.5/Mail /root/spamassassin_Mail

Finally, running /usr/sbin/amavisd -d bayes debug-sa as user amavis
and should so no errors about version mismatches. There may be other
errors particular to your installation. I got some based on specific
rules not having something but nothing about entire CF files not being
used.

If there is a better PERL way of doing this, I would appreciate anything
offered in that regard.

BTW- I think that this happened because a yum dependancy wasn't
available via yum so I used CPAN(site-perl) to meet the dependancy.
Later, yum got the dependancy and installed it into vendor-perl.


Hope it helps!

Is it possible to make different tag for a different score/classes, for

high: [SPAM!!!]  if score  50

Depends on how you're calling SpamAssassin and whether SA is doing the 
markup or the calling program is.


I don't think SA has this functionality itself, but if you're calling it 
with a program like MIMEDefang or Amavisd-new, you have a lot more 
flexibility.


With MIMEDefang, for instance, you would do something like this in 
filter_end after calling SpamAssassin.  ($hits is the message's score, 
$req is the spam threshold)


if ($hits = 50) {
action_change_header(Subject, [SPAM!!!] $Subject);
}
elsif ($hits = 20) {
action_change_header(Subject, [SPAM!!] $Subject);

Number of email addresses in whitelist_from

SA version is 3.1.7 on Linux.

In a user's prefs file, is there an upper limit/maximum number of email

RE: optional score in local.cf is not working

2006-11-29 Thread Dan Horne
As has been stated multiple times, Amavisd-new does NOT use spamd.  Just
try out this little test, m'kay?  Stop spamd.  Don't restart it, just
stop it.  Now see if amavisd is still scanning for spam.  What's that?
It is?  Whodathunkit!  That's why you need to restart amavisd to reload
changed config files.

You should stop spamd from starting automatically, as it is just a waste
of resources since you are using amavisd-new.

 Hi,
 
 OK.
 I did some manual tests and indeed changes in local.cf only 
 catching then I restart amavis.
 
 # /etc/init.d/amavis restart
 Shutting down virus-scanner (amavisd-new):Daemon [9905] 
 terminated by SIGTERM

 Starting virus-scanner (amavisd-new): 
 done
 
 When I restart only spamd no change in local.cf is catching.
 
 
 I don't really understand why?
 
 Mark Martinec said that amavisd-new can't call spamd 
 
 So, let me get this straight:
 -
 This is how I see the work of amavis+spamd+clamd:
 
 1. As I see it amavis talk to spamd (spamassassin) and clamd 
 (ClamAV) via appropriate sockets or TCP ports.
 In my case -
 To clamd via /var/lib/clamav/clamd-socket (I can see it in 
 amavisd.conf) To spamd ? (I don't know how to check it)
 
 2. Any configuration change I make to clamd and spamd take 
 power only when I restart the deamons themselves.
 
 3. But according to Matt Kettler response and my testings, 
 any change to local.cf require amavis restart.
 
 # /etc/init.d/amavis restart
 Shutting down virus-scanner (amavisd-new):Daemon [9905] 
 terminated by SIGTERM
   
 done
 Starting virus-scanner (amavisd-new): 
 done
 
 
 What is going on?
 Where I can validate config options of amavis to make sure 
 the way it works?
 
 
 
 P.S.:
 
 
 This is taken from /etc/init.d/amavis:

 It seems that only when I do /etc/init.d/amavis restart, all

 I've used to an old version of amavis and SA on Suse, where 
 you would only do changes to local.cf and spamd restart.
 
 1) So, my question is - Is this a normal behavior? 
 2) For every change in local.cf should I do now only amavis

2006-11-29 Thread Bret Miller
 Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to write a rule for
 HTML source code contained in an email. I am getting many of
 these Buy This Stock emails and I am finding that the
 pictures contained in them all have a portion of a line of
 source that says...

 src=cid:

 Thanks in advance for any help anyone may be able to provide.

So does every message sent from Outlook that includes an image. I'd
suspect that you'd end up rejecting a lot of legitimate e-mail, unless
no one that sends you e-mail uses Outlook or Outlook Express...

Bret

no one that sends you e-mail uses Outlook or Outlook Express...


Actually, I believe any email with embedded* images, regardless of the 
sending software, will contain that fragment.  cid: is the protocol for 
identifying a resource in another MIME part of the same document.


I've got one in my inbox right now that was sent from Thunderbird.


*Embedded meaning that they appear inline in the message body and the 
data is included in the message, not retrieved from a remote server.

Re: SA Rule

2006-11-29 Thread Loren Wilton

for mangled viagra and other stuff ..is there any simple rule??
such as following text...


Mangled rules are never simple rules.  The SARE rules contain a lot of 
these, as does the antidrug stuff in SA itself.  It may be that these 
specific cases aren't caught though.

Re: HTML Source Rule

2006-11-29 Thread Loren Wilton

This Stock emails and I am finding that the pictures contained in
them all have a portion of a line of source that says...

src=cid:


*ANY* inline image of any sort is going to contain that tag.  That is what 
links to the other mime section containing the image.


There are quite a number of rules for image stock spams.  The ImageInfo and 
FuzzyOCR plugins also help quite a lot in these cases, as do many SARE rules 
and the network rules.

Re: Stock Spam

2006-11-29 Thread Loren Wilton

I am recieving lot of stock related spam mails which spam assassin is not
able catch as spam. I have added Sare_stcok.cf file. I cant use imageinfo,
fuzzy ocr as iam using 2.6o ver of spam assassin i think. I have enclosed
the undecoded letter mail of one kind below. Can you plz help me to make
this kind of mails as spam.


Image spams are hard to catch using normal header and body rules, especially 
when they don't have any urls in the body.  Enabling network tests and 
installing the patch for the URIBL will probably help some.

So does every message sent from Outlook that includes an image. I'd

rack up a score of over 7.0 from those rules alone.

I've been fighting with sa-learn all day and need some help here.

I'm using fetchmail to pull spam messages from a remote IMAP server and

download the first message and feed it to sa-learn. Sa-learn will process 
cleanly right through until the end of the expire process then will hang for 
300 seconds, give an error that fetchmail has timed out, proceed to profile the 
one message it has received and then terminate.

This is a new installation, clean empty databases and I'm at a loss right now. 
Packet scans show no requests to/from the IMAP server during the 300 second 
hang time. I've attached a transcript of the output (-D used).

Anyone have any ideas?

 Any reason NOT to assign 10 points to fuzzy ocr tripped words?

 I mean I wouldn't add 10 points just because someone typed the V word
 in an e-mail to me, but I can't think of an instance where I'd expect
 a GIF message with it in it.

You -do- understand that the 'fuzzy' part of FuzzyOCR means that it
does inexact matching on the characters that it pulls out of an
image. So for example, a college newsletter that I received which
had a school logo image fired on FuzzyOCR claiming to match company.

I've also seen it fire on things such as an airline ticket confirmation
notice, a religious newsletter, and a technical bulletin. Just one
word for each, which with the default score wasn't enough to tag
as spam but with a score of 10 a guaranteed FP.

It sounds like you have the spamd bayes database, and then you have

wish the SA folks would come up with a way to run, as root, sa-learn
for a NON-ROOT bayes database.   Vpopmail directories aren't readable
by spamd.



I'm not running vpopmail on this server. spamd is running as qscand,
however I've got my /etc/spamassasin/local.cf set to use a site wide
bayes database. I also have auto_whitelist configured, and I'm
wondering if this is such a good idea:

bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes
bayes_file_mode0770
auto_whitelist_path/etc/mail/spamassassin/auto-whitelist
auto_whitelist_file_mode   0770
use_bayes  1
bayes_auto_learn   1

I have a script that runs every night that sa-learn's data from each
users SpamTrain folder into this site wide database. Now I seriously
hope that spamd isn't reading its bayes data from qscands home, as this
data hasn't been touched for 2 years:

ls -alh ~/qscand/.spamassassin
drwxr-xr-x 2 qscand qscand 4.0K 2004-07-07 11:01 .

-rw-r--r-- 1 qscand qscand 1.5K 2006-07-06 09:53 user_prefs

Maybe I should delete that and symlink in the files to the sitewide
bayes, just in case?

When I ran spamassassin on the item of spam I referred to earlier,  it
was using my own user account. I don't even have any data in
my .spamassassin folder, so I can only assume that it was using the
site wide bayes for its checks then. Or could my bayes data be
completely messed up, and spamassassin was doing a better job of
identifying spam under my user account with no bayes data at all? 


Once again many thanks for the suggestions and help...

Wilb
  


If you're running it as yourself, and spamassassin isn't running as your 
username, then it's probably not working. 

Check /home/spamd (or whatever user spamassassin runs as).   See if 
there's a bayes database in there.  Also check YOUR home directory, and 
see if you have bayes files.  (locate -i bayes_journal works well for 
this sort of thing)
