Re: russian spam with only two lines in the body

 Thus, based on my own observations, it looks like the value of rules in 
 this particular area is going to be in scoring stuff that arrives before 
 the domains show up in the various SURBLs.
 
Quite possibly, though it seems to have been selectively targeted to
some extent: at least it doesn't seem to have shotgunned the entire
'net. I'm guessing that because: 

- it was bothering a few people on the list for a fair time
- it has apparently taken longer than that to get onto the SURBLS
  so presumably hadn't hit either their honeypots or any/many who
  would report it.
- I've never seen it here. I was simply feeling bored and wrote the
  set of patterns and meta as an exercise.

Alternatively, using a meta rule that combines the above pattern as a
sub-rule with two like this:

/[a-z]{7,8}[0-9]{4}/

that match against From: and Reply-To: headers  would appear to be
fairly specific and worthy of a big score, but of course you'll have
spotted that already.


That's the pattern I'm seeing on my own spamtraps -- messages that have 
4 numeric digits in both the From: and Reply-To: addresses.


However, in re-running some of my samples against rules that may do this 
kind of thing, I'm finding that all my samples are getting sufficient 
hits from external queries that the score is high enough to force 
rejection, anyway.

IMHO, this is not entirely correct.

SA and its rules are designed to identify spam sent by mail. Not forum
spam. The important difference is, that the latter is *only* the text.

As a consequence, none of the header checks possibly apply. Which is a
very vital part of identifying spam. No DNSBLs, no forged or mangled
headers, no ratware patterns. But a valid(!) sender. The only thing left
in this case is the body.

Effectively, you are trying to use SA as a spam filter for a forum.
Which pretty much equals the situation that has come up recently a few
times: Check text entered in web-form. That is not what SA is designed
to do.

There's your problem.

The forum-to-mail gateway has generated a message you consider spam. The
spammer did not generate a mail message, and probably didn't even intend
it. It's just an additional bonus.

Hello,

You could write a Meta rule that contained two sub rules - one for matching 
The Bat! mailer, and the other matching the chat.ru link at the bottom. 
Fire a score if both rules hit. It may not be optimal, but it got rid of that 
Spam for me, and I haven't had a FP yet.

If you check out the meta that was posted on here not long ago to do with the 
Spaces Live Spam, that has a very similar concept, involving The Bat mailer 
and Spaces Live links at the bottom of the Spam.

Cheers,

If you want something that's language specific, checking for koi8-r can 
be quite effective, but if you do receive legitimate Russian mail then 
it may lead to FPs. Anyway, here's a rule to check the subject that 
would hit your example:


header		LOCAL_CHARSET_SUBJECT	Subject:raw =~ 
/\=\?(koi8-r|windows-1251|iso-2022-jp|gb2312)\?/i


There's a few other foreign character sets  thrown in there that I also 
reject - edit to suit your needs.


Looking at the rest of the mail, I have a few other custom rules that 
fire on your example:



header  LOCAL_THEBAT_MUAX-Mailer =~ /^The Bat!/

uri LOCAL_URI_RUm{https?://.{1,40}\.ru\b}
uri LOCAL_URI_CHAT_RU   m{https?://.{1,40}\.chat\.ru\b}

I score against The Bat MUA, and also against any [dot] ru domains, plus 
an additional (additive) score for [dot] chat [dot] ru  URIs. I have no 
legitimate use for these in emails (I also have a similar rule for 
Chinese domains that's very popular!)


So I have 4 or 5 custom rules that all score against your example and 
add a little to the score taking it well over the spam threshold.







RE: Russian spam

Hello,

Be careful with the character-set matching rules. I was using some of them and 
got a high rate of FP's - it was mainly because of the koi8-r charset, and 
scoring against that meant I was also scoring against perfectly legitimate 
technical resource newsletters that are in English.

it's Russian).  I get maybe 1 or 2 a week.  I wish I could block all Russian 
messages, but we are a University and could easily have Russian students.  I 
am unable to read this message and therefore have no ideas on how to block 
this.  Can anyone help me out with suggestions?

I apologize if this has been discussed in the last week.  I haven't had time 
to catch up on list messages over the last couple of days and didn't see 
anything skimming the subjects of recent threads.

Thanks,
Kris
