BOTNET plugin download

2009-06-08 Thread RW

The BOTNET plugin isn't covered in the CustomPlugins wiki page. When I
Googled it I found this:

http://people.ucsc.edu/~jrudd/spamassassin/Botnet.tar

but it's a bit old. Is there a later version?

That's 0.8 which is AFAIK the latest.

Yes, 0.8 is the latest, and it's ... 2 years old now? or just 1.5?
somewhere around there.

I haven't really needed to do an update, though there are some things
I want to re-work once I get some spare time (mostly, how it does DNS
lookups, to use SA internals more).

It's a SpamAssassin plugin looks at DNS configurations and attempts to
identify hosts that are probably actually clients that are sending
email directly to your server, instead of through their own mail
server.

There's a high likelihood that those senders are actually botnets and
not legitimate senders.  Thus the name of the plugin.  But, botnets
aren't its only purpose.  It's also an encouragement for email admins
to follow best practices in how they set up the DNS of their mail
servers.

That's still the right/current URL.

Just looks like people.ucsc.edu might be down right now.
