This will also catch things like "foo.exe- blah blah" and "foo.exe!!!

Wouldn't it be better if
- the uri parser removes such trailing "punctuation"?
- the uri parser checks two variants: "full" uri and the uri without the

Neither does the original... *shrug*

Jason, while your remark is entirely valid, you missed my point. :)  My
intention was to show a better way of writing such REs, focusing on what
one actually wants to match, getting rid of all the unnecessary junk in
the originally posted RE, and writing comprehensible, maintainable,
easy-to-grasp REs. It requires merely a quick glimpse at the above RE to
understand what its purpose is.

Btw, in case you didn't notice, I didn't actually modify the original RE
other than removing the unnecessary leading part. :)

Cool. 

I get the same effect by running a private DNS service on my SA host.
Its prime use is to centralise host naming for my LAN and to act as a
local DNS cache. It forwards name requests it can't satisfy to
(currently) three external DNS servers, so I think it achieves the same
DNS resilience as your script as well as speeding up access to
frequently accessed blacklisting sites.

if 1s timeout in resolv.conf (and thus 1s timeout for each dead DNS server)
causes this problem, it's time to upgrade your machine...

Nice tip, but there's no option that will "back off" from a dead DNS.
Of course timeout/attempts and rotate will help a bit.

  


You missed it - there is:

nc -w 0 -z $ns 53 | cut -d \  -f 3 | sed -e 's/^.*$/nameserver \0/' >> 
/etc/resolv.conf


This only creates a line IF the nameserver is working. The idea is that 
it automatically culls out the dead servers.

I think that proper timeout and setting those two should cause maximum
"timeout" timeout per one dead server, e.g. 1-2 seconds, which should be OK.

I have also asked if there are problems with nameservers and my main point
wa if something couldn't be there. We have 4 DNS servers behind L3 switch
that monitors DNS servers...

The problem is that there's so many DNS calls that if the first 
nameserver in the list isn't working then it's just too slow and email 
backs up, fills memory, things time out, and it isn't pretty. My name 
servers are generally reliable but if I need to reboot a server or 
something crashes I need everything to switch over automatically. So I 
run 3 caching name servers in my main cluster because I'm a redundancy 
freak and triple redundancy works. I'm not that into rotating because 
the caching works best for speed if they are al hitting one nameserver 
first. The others just sit there unless they are needed.


I'm using OpenVZ for everything now so running some extra caching name 
servers is easy to do.





RE: Handy script for generating /etc/resolv.conf

So what happens if you run a local nameserver in caching mode? You may find 
this reduces the DNS related query time (and for that matter overall SA 
processing) dramitcally).

Traffic from UltraDNS.net PTRs has been suspect, but I never really 
looked at them until today.


The following stats are from one of two equal preference secondary 
MXs, where there are 3 equal preference primary MXs active. The 
quality of the secondary traffic is extremely low.  The overwhelming 
majority of legit traffic goes through the primary MXs, with a 
trickle through the secondary MXs.

Our postfix smptd_hard_error_limit is 2, where hard_error is a 5xx

Install a "maildrop" or "procmail" rule for it and do something like

:0
* TO_()
|/uar/bin/sa-learn --spam -

Maybe use the additional option "--no-sync" too.

Dear All,

what does the different scores mean in this example:

the TFM is a good reading!

$ man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
also available on the web:
http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html

Search for:
score SYMBOLIC_TEST_NAME n.nn [ n.nn n.nn n.nn ]

In short, the four scores are
1- no Bayes, no net
2- no Bayes
3- no net
4- both Bayes and net (are enabled)

Re: Updating rules with old version of spamassassin

Hi Martin,

thank you for the info. 


So what I can see, Spamassassin is merely a perl module used by amavisd,
right? If I install the new version, it will just replace the old module and
add some little gadgets like sa-update? 


you should upgrade both spamassassin and amavisd-new. at least, make 
sure the versions are compatible.




Or could I use the sa-update script from a new version with my old
spamassassin installation?


better upgrade SA.
