Testing meta rule
Title: Testing meta rule I am requesting someone to please send me an email from the SA users list with a normal geocities conversation in the body of the message. I have created two rules, and I want to make sure all geocities emails are tagged as spam, while at the same time, allowing SA users messages to be allowed without spam tagging. Thanks Casey
Recurring abuser
Title: Recurring abuser My MailScanner boxes are still getting drilled with the Sober.Virus and spam (none which have made it through) from a single IP address. I did a lookup on dnsstuff.com for the address {66.243.13.178} but made no headway on what to do about this. What steps do I need to do in order to get this to stop? I haven't seen a degridation in mail processing, but seeing over 150 Sober infected emails, and countless spam each day is a bit annoying.

RE: New Spammer?
Matt, You are right, these are viruses being sent. I have been working with SA for about 6 months now, and I must say...originally I was confused about the 'features' of SA, but have since learned that SA has nothing to do with viruses. I probably eluded to the idea that I was worried SA wasn't scoring high enough; hence, making everything think that I felt SA should give a higher score b/c of the virus attached, but that is not what I was getting at. You are also right that I need to send an email out to the users, and let them know about the virus outbreak. No message has made it through without being tagged, so the servers are working as they should. I mainly sent out the email to see if others were seeing an influx also. Thanks for the information. As always, if it were not for this active mailing list, I would not be as knowledgeable as I am now...but I would still be considered a "novice," much like what you and Julian have been discussing on the MailScanner list.

It's official policy is to EXPLICITLY not care about virus emails. No effort is made to try to catch them, because doing so would dilute the scores of the spam ruleset. No effort is made to try to avoid tagging them either. They're just removed from the corpus and handled by the developers as if they don't exist. >I start tagging spam, at 3.5 so each message has been tagged, but still >sent through. Any one else seeing these emails? I see plenty of viruses, and never give them a mind. My selective greylisting helps, but so far this morning my mailscanner still got 20 of them. There was also a steep burst last Weds, 18 of them, which then leveled off through the rest of the day. *shrug*.. tell your users in a broadcast email that there is a virus outbreak, but to not be concerned unless they have a message that looks like a virus and isn't tagged. You might also want to include some standard educational notes about viruses and their auto-sending, auto-forging habits.

New Spammer?
Title: New Spammer? This morning we have been getting drilled by spam/virus emails. 40 so far. Been getting a lot of phone calls from across the company about these emails. At least my mailscanner boxes are stripping the files, and tagging it as spam, but what worries me, is the low scores these messages are receiving.

RE: Spamd / RDJ
Thanks to everyone who was willing to take the time to respond, and educate me on this issue. Michele, thanks for posting the SA_RULE for the config file. This has fixed my problem. -Original Message- From: Michele Neylon :: Blacknight.ie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 5:21 PM To: Chris Thielen Cc: SpamAssassin Users; Casey King Subject: Re: Spamd / RDJ Chris Thielen wrote: > > Hi Casey, > > Larry and Dhawal are correct, you shouldn't be restarting spamd if you > don't use it (spamassassin --lint does NOT require spamd).

The way to get MS working with RDJ is to make a minor change to the script Change the line starting: SA_RESTART= to read: SA_RESTART="/etc/init.d/MailScanner restart"; # Command used to restart spamd HTH Michele -- Mr Michele Neylon Blacknight Solutions Quality Business Hosting & Colocation http://www.blacknight.ie/ Tel. 1850 927 280 Intl. +353 (0) 59 9183072 Direct Dial: +353 (0)59 9183090 Fax. +353 (0) 59 9164239
Spamd / RDJ
Because RDJ –lints SA, I have tried to create a cron job that would stop Spamd from running. I do not want it using up so much memory since MailScanner calls SA on its own. My crontab looks like this: - SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ # run-parts 01 * * * * run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * run-parts /etc/cron.monthly # shut down spamassassin after rulesdejour does an update 30 * * * * root /etc/init.d/spamassassin stop - From what I “believe” I had set, is for spamassassin to be shut down every 30 minutes. In /etc/cron.daily is my update_spamassassin_rules. --- #!/bin/bash [ -x /etc/mail/spamassassin/RulesDuJour/rules_du_jour ] || exit 0 exec /etc/mail/spamassassin/RulesDuJour/rules_du_jour /etc/init.d/spamassassin stop exit 0 Seeing the cron job was not working, I added the /etc/init.d/spamassassin stop to the file hoping it would stop SA after RDJ finished. This has been no help. Does anyone have another idea of what I can do to shutdown SA after RDJ lints SA? I am getting tired of stopping SA from the command line.
RE: RDJ Blacklist
I think I now see the problem. The url to retrieve the blacklist-uri has been changed, and this is reflected in version 1.24. I also see there is a change form random.cf. The interesting thing I am not sure of….is why System B does not reflect the changes of version 1.24, but was till downloading the current version of blacklist-uri.cf -Original Message- From: Casey King [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 9:29 AM To: SpamAssassin Users Subject: RDJ Blacklist While checking RDJ on my systems.

I have installed SA 3.0.4 on two identical machines. Both machines are running CentOS4.1. Other software loaded would include: Sendmail 8-13.4-1 (from src rpm) Clamav 0-86 (tar file) MailScanner 4.44.1-1 (tar) MailWatch 1.0.1 (tar) phpMyAdmin 2.6.3-pl1 (tar) Webmin 1.210 (tar) Both machines run smooth, but when I was trying to figure out what is getting AutoWhite listed, I found that "box2" did not have: /root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist /root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.mutex "box1" does have: /root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist "Box1" and "Box2" are being built to replace a MailScanner system already in use. Upon review of this system, I can see I will run into issues if I cannot check what is being auto-whitelisted. I do find it strange that I installed SA the same way on both machines and have different results. I tried to uninstall SA from "Box 2" by using this command: rpm -e spamassassin I am not sure if this is the best way to uninstall SA, but I do not know of another. I then reinstalled it two ways: 1. rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4.tar.gz cd to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 These three files are in this directory perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4-1.i386.rpm spamassassin-tools-3.0.4-1.i386.rpm spamassassin-3.0.4-1.i386.rpm I installed the files (first my moving the tools rpm to another directory and then moving it back and installing it separately) 2. Through untar, I cd to the Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4 directory and installed via the INSTALL file instructions. Both ways to install were successful, but I was still unable to see any of the files I was looking for.
