He posted it in the wrong thread, as well, and my MUA sorted it above
the post in which cpanel was mentioned.

Getting the quoting *and* threading wrong *and* adding no useful

I'll say.

Nix, that was my riff. And it was alternating layers of lead foil
and paraffin. Wrap, dip, and end recurse as necessary.

{^,^}   JoanneNegativeScore didn't quote the message in "the

 wrong. "Stuff" happens. His lack of sense of
 humor was painfully obvious, though. I did put
 a practical answer at the end of my riff. He
 was trying to use cpanel. I've heard of other
 inadequacies related to it. A configuration tool
 with errors is dangerous enough to fire for
 incompetence. (You know - like Norton Anti-virus.)

Not likely.  My ISP uses them as a spam filter service, and

Accuracy isn't all that bad.

I have tested our setup against postini, frontbridge, message labs,
mailscanner, GFI, Microsoft's stuff, etc.
Postini was by far the best of the ones we tested, and a close second to
the setup we are using now.
None of the others even came close. (and the ones that charge you for
mail delivery actually charged you for delivering spam!)

I don't know about legitimate, but they have a very rude staff.  When we 
first started looking at a anti-spam solution, my boss told me to contact 
them.  Their staff was extremely rude and arrogant.  I had to BEG my boss to 
let me even try a spamassassin solution.  That was several years ago, and 
Spamassassin has been running great since.

postini.com is spewing an image spam that is getting through filters.

Worse yet they are using acm.org as a relay


More specifically the first one of these spams I received was from
a Brazillian address. The next two, of a set of three, were relayed
through LISTSERV.ACM.ORG on two different lists from
exprod7mx82.postini.com - WITH "Approved-By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]". Postini
received it via SSL:
Received: from source ([63.118.7.109]) (using SSLv3) by 
exprod7mx82.postini.com

 ([64.18.6.14]) with SMTP; Mon, 31 Jul 2006 01:48:23 EDT

The source to postini appears to be a  comcast address in one
case and nucleus.com for the second of the two relayed through ACM.

Is postini even remotely legitimate?

My guess is that X-IMAPbase, X-UID, Content-Length, and X-Keywords
were added by the POP3 server at the last hop before your fetchmail.
Have you checked whether those are present it other message headers
you've received?


Re: postini.com

2006-07-31 Thread jdow

Earthlink is pretty good about reporting where things come from. And the
address IS from an acm.org machine. It is in their netblock. I've never
seen a forged Earthlink smtp Received header. It does look like the
postini results are forged or are from a hacked DNS setup.

Find a floppy disk. Format it. Move cpanel over to the floppy disk. 
Remove the floppy disk from the system. Wrap the floppy in alternating 
layers of foil, lead is best, and parafin until it is about 6" thick. 
Save it until the next full Moon. Take it to a graveyard. In a quiet

The source to postini appears to be a  comcast address in one
case and nucleus.com for the second of the two relayed through ACM.

Is postini even remotely legitimate?
{^_^}



Postini does process a huge amount of incoming and outgoing mail, and 
unless they are able to identify the spam, they will forward it, just 
like anyone else. :-\


These image spams are not easy to stop. I'm finally getting them with a 
'full' rule matching a string that is common in the base64 encoded image 
part. I'm sure the image will change friday and break my rule for next 
weekend though.

What's even funnier is that they are a commercial spam filter
service provider.

This might really damage their reputation...

Sample headers?

postini.com is spewing an image spam that is getting through filters.

Worse yet they are using acm.org as a relay


More specifically the first one of these spams I received was from
a Brazillian address. The next two, of a set of three, were relayed
through LISTSERV.ACM.ORG on two different lists from
exprod7mx82.postini.com - WITH "Approved-By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]". Postini
received it via SSL:
