Detecting Quishing

Here's a tricky one... Does anyone know of a plugin or method for detecting QR codes in emails and if they are malicious or not (i guess the URL needs to be extracted and checked against the known phish/scam sites). There is software that can read the QRcodes like zbarimg (in zbar-tools package in D...

Re: EFA(5)/Debian

So... Where to start... After a few false starts and some late nights I have what I think is a good foundation. I tried and failed with MailScanner - I don't think the problem is with MailScanner itself, but a lack of stability in perl modules, and perhaps MailScanner has kind of been superseded as ...

Not much help, but DKIM shouldn't be looking at anything except the headers...
Is it the opendkim milter or is it MailScanner/spamassassin that's killing the message?
I guess if you're seeing it in Mailwatch, then it's not the milter because that would kill the message before it hits MailScanner...

Re: EFA(5)/Debian

Jumpstarting this necro-thread. Long story short, I'm working on a Debian 12 based build. It's a bit rough around the edges at the moment, but I'm just about ready to move it from the lab onto an external test server once I resolve a clamav issue. There's no MailWatch yet, and it's also missing a bu...

MailWatch UI tweak

You know what would be great?
A tweak to MailWatch to show not only the load averages and disk space, but the memory consumption and disk queues...

Re: Rocky Linux 8

Just one more thing - These kind of projects are run by people on a voluntary basis - no-one is getting rich from something that no-one pays for. We all have day jobs, some of us run our own businesses and this is all in everyone's spare time, or whatever is shared by people making changes for their...

Re: Rocky Linux 8

I tried it on Stream 9 and it broke spectacularly... So I'm going to say no. I've been getting pretty annoyed with a bunch of broken stuff in the redhat stack - just simple stuff like adding users to the OS on a clean install throws up error that have persisted for years. I've been using Debian 12 f...

Re: Future of eFa on RedHat-like systems

I like the RedHat ecosystem, however I've been using Debian 12 for a project lately, and I'm kind of liking it... Thinking I might have a stab at recreating things on Debian to see what roadblocks I come up against at some stage in the future. I'm pretty sure the eFa build scripts can be tweaked to ...

Re: efa in the cloud

Sorry to resurrect this necro-thread, but I'm going through some sizing exercises at the moment. I guess it's going to depend mostly on the number of MailScanner threads you elect to run and your users appetite for delays if mail starts backing up. I'd start by looking at the actual load on your pro...

Install eFa using sudo

Good security practice means not logging in directly as root, which means that the installer for eFa won't run as the standard command. It's simple to get it to work though rather than switching to the root account or having to force a root password change in order to switch using su... sudo curl -s...

Hello from beyond the grave

Hello All, Well, it's been a while since I've been actively involved in a mail security forum... I hope that I can provide some value here. I once had a mildly successful email security platform (and community/forum) based on a virtual appliance that first saw the light of day back in 2005, so almos...
