heads up: php5 security and emergency fix
Last week, a security bullet was released about security problems with php5 prior to version 5.2.7. Yesterday, a major regression testing problem was fixed in 5.2.7, with the removal of the 5.2.7 binaries, and the emergency release of 5.2.8. (so, if you tried to upgrade, or are freebsd users trying to upgrade to 5.2.7 last night, it failed) Further, 5.2.7 (and 5.2.8) included php5-pcre libraries, so removal of pcre.so in ../php/extensions.ini is necessary to remove the cli error. Last issue, for those using spamassassin sa-compile, a warning is output when compiling php5 5.2.8, requiring re2c version at least 13.4. so, bottom line: if you upgraded to 5.2.7, you need to upgrade to 5.2.8, clean the extensions.ini file, and upgrade re2c. for freebsd users, just sync your ports tree, and run: pkg_delete -f php5-pcre\* (as per /usr/ports/UPDATING) portupgrade php5 re2c you might also want to run pkgdb -F and portupgrade php5-imap php5-zlib. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO Phone: 561-999-5000, x 1259 > *| *SECNAP Network Security Corporation * Certified SNORT Integrator * King of Spam Filters, SC Magazine 2008 * Information Security Award 2008, Info Security Products Guide * CRN Magazine Top 40 Emerging Security Vendors _ This email has been scanned and certified safe by SpammerTrap(r).

Re: Twist on Day Old Bread list idea
I think this would be a good DNS based list. It could have a slightly longer TTL than most DNS lists, as it's timeline would be generally pretty predictable. This would make the DNS caching an effective and efficient way to utilize the data. I'd like to be able to implement it such as "if the nameservers of the domain aren't in my IP range, do this test".

Problem with faked return-path or something like that...!
Hi there, i hope someone can help, i surfed the whole web with no answer... We are using Communigate Pro with Spamassasin, now we have a problem with specific spammail and don't know how to solve it. The spammer sends us spam e-mails which includes as "return-path" one of our mail-adressess. So we never get the spam mail, because Spamassasin deletes that message, but we gat the "Reject" Mail from our Mail-Server to the return-path adress which is as i said always one of our adressess in this spammails. The sender of this Reject-Mail is of course our own mailerdaemon, wo we can't block that generally because we need it. So the major problem is that the spammer is using faked return-path adresses, and i really don't know how we can fix that problem.

The usefulness of SPF, DKIM and related technologies is for detecting *forgeries*. Its relation to spam checking is indirect at best, and is primarily for reliable whitelisting. If you know a domain or user does not send spam, and they prove the authenticity of their mail using one of these methods, then you can do a couple of things: whitelist any authenticated mail from that domain/user, and discard any unauthenticated mail from that domain/user. Paypal and banks are the canonical examples, to combat phishing. If the trustworthiness (from a spam perspective) of a domain is unknown (e.g. gmail, yahoo, and other freemail services), then knowing that a sender who claims to be from that domain is actually sending mail via that domain's servers is of limited usefulness. -- John Hardin KA7OHZhttp://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]FALaholic #11174 pgpk -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] key: 0xB8732E79 -- 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 --- You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered. -- Lyndon B.
