Re: Spamassassin detect my mails as spam

Hello RW,

Am 2012-02-24 14:00:11, hacktest Du folgendes herunter:
 As far as positive scoring rules are concerned, Spamassassin should only
 care about the reverse dns of the last external relay, and
 mail.tamay-dogan.net has impeccable dns.

Right, and it was a problem with spamassassin on listz.debian.org  and
the listadmins had changed something and since arround 2 years it  works
again.

 You haven't quoted any rules that are firing inappropriately. Do you
 have any evidence that this is anything to do with Spamassassin or
 reverse dns?

...because it is NOT my spamassassin which reject MY mails.

There is something in spamassassin which does recursive rDNS lookups  on
all Received: headers

 RDNS_NONE shouldn't fire on a private IP address unless you've done
 something a bit challenging.

Right, but I use courier, fetchmail,  procmail  and  spamassassin  since
more then 10 years  and  it  works  perfectly.  Only  some  domains/MTAs
sending mails are weird...

Can it be, that there are MX records, which point sometimes to a private
IP address which confuse spamassassin?

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

Re: Spamassassin detect my mails as spam

2012-02-25 Thread Michelle Konzack
Hello Bowie Bailey,

Am 2012-02-24 12:42:02, hacktest Du folgendes herunter:
 Why not?  It doesn't have to be specific.  public41.tamay-dogan.net
 would work fine.  What is the downside of having a rDNS entry?

...because my ISP @office (Alice) offer only  fixed  IP  (85.182.220.41)
with only but no rDNS, exactly, I have only

e182220041.adsl.alicedsl.de.

which interferer with my network.

 Why are they rejected?  Do you have any bounces with specific information?

My mail server mail.tamay-dogan.net send me  an  error  message  back,
that the receiving MTA can not  resolv  work1.intranet.tamay-dogan.net
which is the first Received: header.

  Is there a was to solv this?
 That would depend entirely on what the actual problem is.

The question is:  WHY does the receiving MTA check the sending computer?
Probably it will be in nearly all enterprises on a private IP range  and
not equiped with a public IP.

  Note: I see, not all spamassassin setups rejecting my mails including
  my own one if it receive mails from others and same setup.
 
 I'm not sure I understand this statement.  Are you saying your SA server
 has the same behavior you are complaining about or not?

Some years ago it had,  but  since  the  upgrade  to  Debian/Lenny,  the
problem was gone silently.  It was only a dist-upgrade and  nothing  has
changed in the configuration, exept a new version of spamassassin

 Most tests in SA should not look beyond the first untrusted server. 
 That would be mail.tamay-dogan.net in the case of your outgoing mail. 
 Anything prior to that should be irrelevant -- particularly if they have
 private IP addresses.

This is, why I am puzzeling arround.  I like to find out, which part  of
spamassassin trigger this error.

I get the same error, if I send E-Mails using my  freenet.de  account,
exactly, I add an esmtproute to copurier-mta which use mail.freenet.de
as authenticated SMTP relay and use my email linux4michelleOfreenet.de
and normaly it just work, but the MTAs rejecting my  own  mails,  reject
even the freenet mails.

So, the error is not on my end, but on the receiving MTA which  make  it
very hard to debug things.

I have  already  send  those  enterprises  mails  from  my  squirrelmail
interface and was nicely received by the offending MTA...  unfortunately
the admins of the Mailsystems have absolutely no clue!  They are even to
sick to check there mail logs (IF they exist)

Re: Spamassassin detect my mails as spam

2012-02-25 Thread Michelle Konzack
Hello Joe Sniderman,

Am 2012-02-24 18:45:52, hacktest Du folgendes herunter:
c)  Public mail server mail.tamay-dogan.net (78.47.247.21)
d)  Receiving mail server
 So far, so good.
  If now d) is runing spamassassin, thaen my messages are to 90% rejected.
 Strange. What tests are firing?

I get only a MAILER-DAEMON message from mail.tamay-dogan.net that  the
receiving MTA say, it can not resolv work1.intranet1.tamay-dogan.net.

Since samba.intranet.tamay-dogan.net is in the same time my MASTER DNS
and even for my private network/ subdomain  intranet1.tamay-dogan.net,
I was first thinking, my three NS

dns1.tamay-dogan.net
dns2.tamay-dogan.net
dns3.tamay-dogan.net

are accidently serving my private IPs to the public, but this is not the
case:

[ command 'dig work1.intranet1.tamay-dogan.net' ]---
work1.intranet1.tamay-dogan.net. 3600 IN A  192.168.0.13
intranet1.tamay-dogan.net. 3600 IN  NS  dns1.tamay-dogan.net.
intranet1.tamay-dogan.net. 3600 IN  NS  dns.intranet1.tamay-dogan.net.
intranet1.tamay-dogan.net. 3600 IN  NS  dns2.tamay-dogan.net.
intranet1.tamay-dogan.net. 3600 IN  NS  dns3.tamay-dogan.net.
dns.intranet1.tamay-dogan.net. 3600 IN  A   192.168.0.11
dns1.tamay-dogan.net.   3600IN  A   78.47.104.44
dns2.tamay-dogan.net.   3600IN  A   217.147.94.23
dns3.tamay-dogan.net.   3600IN  A   78.47.247.21


[ command 'dig work1.intranet1.tamay-dogan.net @dns1.tamay-dogan.net' ]--


Which mean, the subdomain intranet1.tamay-dogan.net is NOT exposed  to
the world even my internet NS has pointers to dns1, dns2 and dns3.

But this has something to do with the views, because I  have  more  then
one intranet and all are using my public NS to update there records.

  Is there a was to solv this?
 Probably. First step is to find out what is causing it.

... and my brain stay smoking!

  Note:  I see, not all spamassassin setups rejecting my mails including
 my own one if it receive mails from others and same setup.
 
 I'm not following..  Are you saying your SA setup is one of the setups
 that does reject your mails, or are you saying your SA setup is one of
 the setups that does not reject your mails?

It does not reject MY mails, but sometimes it reject incoming mails  for
the same reason, like my mails are rejected by some other MTAs.

 FWIW, it looks as though the SA instance that apache is using in front
 of the mailing list is *not* tagging your posts as spam:
 
 X-ASF-Spam-Status: No, hits=-0.7 required=10.0
   tests=RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW,SPF_PASS

Right.

Unfortunately some bigger Enterprises are rejecting my mails. However,
they have fortunately good admins which whitelisted my domain but  where
not able to find out, what the reject trigered.  They only use  like  me
spamassassin as filter.

Re: spam skating through

2012-02-25 Thread Jonathan Nichols
 
 This sagrey plugin sounds great, I'm giving it a try now. Thanks for
 the info. 
 
 I'd be wary about that. Personally, the  FPs I've had in the past have
 overwhelmingly  first contact.

I've been giving it a whirl and adjusted the score down a little bit..

So far, it's been doing great, and the level of spam slipping through untagged 
has dropped significantly. On the other hand, I have fewer users these days to 
advise to check their quarantine folder too. :-) Users can get a digest of 
emails in the quarantine folder, and nobody has reported any FPs yet. 

I'm a happy camper. Thanks everyone!

So there's no reason to think this has anything to do with Spamassassin.

I think that this is pretty conclusive that it's nothing to do with
Spamassassin. It doesn't look anything like what I'd  expect for a
Spamassassin-based rejection. I looks like some basic MTA check. 

Another thing is that it's failing to find an A-record, so nothing to
do with rDNS either.

Have you checked to see if you are  sending mail with
an  @work1.intranet1.tamay-dogan.net address in the smtp envelope.
