Windows Questions

2006-06-11 Thread Mike L
I have SpamAssassin install with Perl 5.8.8 on a W2K3 box.
SA is the latest version.

I would like to setup the following

I need to know how to setup wrongmx.pm and wrongmx.cf so that email that does not go to my spam filter first will be deleted. I also want to do this for only one domain on my server, we have 26 domains.


Any help would be appreciated as I am new to SA.

Mike

I wouldn't do that.  There's lots of legit mail that will show up at 
your lower preference MXes for no apparent reason.  Lotus Domino seems 
to do it quite often.


In any case, you'd add both files to your local config directory. 
Comment out or set the scores to zero for the WRONG_MX rule and then 
assign a score on a per domain basis for the rule.

Not really.  I have no idea how you've got your SA setup on Windows and 
you haven't asked anything specific.

Yeah, put the plugin files in your local config directory... that's the 
same directory that has you local.cf file.


If you want to only enable the WRONG_MX rule for a particular domain, 
you'll have to configure per user or domain scoring.


None of this is specific to this particular plugin.  Please seek help on 
the users lists.

I have Windows 2003 , Perl 5.8.8, Spam Assassin Latest Build
 
SpamAssassin source directory is c:\mail-spamassassin-3.12
 
Spam is getting fitlered.
 
I have an outside spam filter that has its own mx records.
 
But some spammers are sending to our mailserver directly, hence we now 
are implementing SA.
 
If I understand, your plugin will check the mx order and if it is going 
directly to the box (highest mx), it will block it as spam since it 
should have gone to the 10 then the 20 then the 30 and almost never go 
to the 50 record(directly to the box)
 
I would like to know if I need to modify local.cf http://local.cf or 
if i just place this in the same local as local.cf http://local.cf 
does it automatically work?
 
Is this a beter email?
