I've been thinking about what it would take to actually eliminate spam
or reduce it to less than 10% of what it is now. One of the problems is
the SMTP protocol itself. And a big problem with that is that mail
servers talk to each other using the same protocol as users use to talk
to servers.
I'll help - what do you need? I can give you a VPS under OpenVZ - a
Centos or Fedora 12 64 bit environment. I have bandwidth ant processing
power.

If you still need it I can make a virtual server running under OpenVZ
and you can have total control of the virtual machine.

How would you write a rule to do a DNS lookup, not of the IP address but
of the host name? I can do this in Exim but looking to do the same thing
using SA.
I have created a name based DNS list instead of just IP based. The

.hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com
A return of 127.0
For what it's worth you should make it available and then announce it. :)

I must be missing soimething but when I run sa-update it just update
3.1.8 as if 3.2.0 doesn't exist. Am I doing something wrong?
But what -x is supposed to do is not let spamc pass the message through
unchecked. It is supposed to check all the hosts and then fail if it
can't process it. The -x switch is not supposed to keep the -d switch
from using all listed hosts.

Bugzillia seems to be broken tonight.
The specs say that if you use spamc with multiple hosts then if the
first host fails it will try the other hosts. It does do this. But if
you user the -x switch then it only tries the first host.
spamc -d host1,host2 - works
spamc -x -d host1,host2
So - what's new in 3.1.2 ?
Hey - it rhymes!

The concept of sebder verification is not new. In fact it's already in

I agree. I think that ultimately a second bayesian filter that was

So - I don't know if SA is doing this but tokenizing the header names
(excluding the common ones that all headers have) is very effective.
