Title: To bounce or not to bounce
Hi
Guys,
How
many of you use sorbs.net without too much trouble? I'm just testing
it at the moment and have had excellent results, but have had two complains
about FPs.
the
two complains we're about softwareobjectives.com.au and
bigpond.net.au
so I'm guessing that spamhaus is a thing which you can plug into
spamassassin and mark as spam incoming? or how would I completely block
those IP addresses with firewall or some kind of deny rules that's what
we need around here. complete and utter shutdown... :)thanks for the
crap. stupid outhouse sent before i was ready. sorry, ignore last message.

Hi All,
I've figured out how to use DNSBL with sendmail and am very pleased, apart
from being burnt by this page (ie i use www.orbz.org as a blacklist and our

my question is, i read in the archives that if you have too many of these
DNS lookups then
We have a number of hosts spamming us using the mailing to a wrong address
which doesn't exist but crafting the reply to address as someone else so
they receive a bounce message and open it and it's spam.
I've tried blocking about 10-15 hosts with iptables and that shuts them up
for a while but
Hi All,
Outlook 2003 comes up with FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK. obviously i can change the

Hi All,
I had a strange thing last night. my spam assassin stop processing
messages. sendmail was still receiving. i stopped and restarted
MailScanner (which is what i use) once and it complained about address in
use. i then stopped it and saw that sendmail was still running and did a
killall
Now you've got me interested. how did you get those stats?

Yers, they started to charge for it. i ran the beta for a long time and was
very happy with it, but i needed to do something with the server, not on
everyone's outlook.
looks like anti-spam software will go the way of the virus with signatures
updates and anti-spam build into anti-virus
Ah.sadly we have winblows here and outhouse so spam will get modified as
i forward it. i do have several unused mailboxes which fill with spam quite
a bit and i tried to submit a mailbox full which i checked to be all spam to
razor and it seemed to work, with a few perl errors here and there
I have a very good working razor/spam assassin or 4 to be exact. i want to
make a mailbox which i can simply forward spam to from any mail client and
it will report to razor automatically.
1. i'll be calling it something very hard to guess for spammers to send to.

Yes i also found this 'Smart Gateway' rather entertaining. i hope he
didn't just write an article but took out a patent on this new invention of
his. even in 2002 NAT/port forwarding has been used for centuries before
then. :)One shudders to think what massive breakthrough's hes made in
his

true the world over).perhaps this was an experiment come from Dr

out of interest i wondering the same thing. mine was set to a default of
2.06 for a positive spam on RAZOR2_CHECK but some spam identified by that
was still slipping through. i bumped my up to 3.06 to see what it did for a
day. the joy of our setup is that even though it may mark it as spam it
i use MailScanner so may be different, but i believe if you installed under
root you'll find a /root/.razor/ directory which is where my log file
lives..
doesn't say much but it tells me that it's working (as it checks each
message).
what i do what to know is how one logs all spamassassin
i could hazard a guess and say that 127.0.0.1 is in your whitelist? this
baffled me for a while and no matter how much testing i did from the command
line with a peice of spam i coulnd't get it to register.
i tried from external and it worked fine. only found this out a few days
later and went
Hi All,
I've got a working sendmail gateway for exchange server and if a message
that has been marked as Spam attempts to get delivered and fails it
generates a bounce.
my question is, because most spam is a fake return address, is it possible
to tell sendmail to not bother to bounce anything
Hi All,
I tried to get amavis-new going with spamassassin but got a little bogged
down when it came to reconfiguring sendmail (call me lazy or dumb or
whatever). i tried MailScanner and it was _absolutly_ brilliant. all i had
to do what basically untar and run ./install.sh
it did all the good
you can turn on log all spam in your spamassassin tho. and you'll see stuff
in your /var/log/maillog
that's not too bad...
