Re: Making EFA more strict

Rather than change the scores, I'd try to find out why the system wasn't marking them as spam in the first place. When I first had my installation running, a lot of my blacklist/spamlist checks weren't actually running because of how my DNS server was configured. Like you, a lot of spam game through...

Re: Search mails with specific rule applyed

the kam.cf does seem to generate a lot of false positives. There are number of posts about this. Like this one for example: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1388

Re: Is this correct ?

(Catching up on old posts after having been away for a while) My thought is to leave the scanning of outgoing mail on. Why? If someone inside the organization has their computer infected with junk and that junk is being email out, I want to know about it. If I could *absolutely* trust the internal u...

Re: Backup whitelists etc

Sean,

What is the purpose for this backup file? Is it supposed to include all the local configuration files?

If so, then could you include /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf?

Re: About DKIM

My understanding is dkim only provides additional verification that the mail is authentic and should be trusted. Unlike spf, dkim is just another bit of information that allows you to decide if the message is spam or not. spf allows you to either do nothing, accept the mail from "invalid" ...

Re: About DKIM

What do you mean, " this cut other servers that send mail with my domain"?

Which servers stop receiving your mail sent from the other servers after enabling dkim? Your efa servers, or other people's servers?

duplicate subject lines causing yahoo mail rejection

I've found a bug in mailscanner I believe. One of the users was having his mail rejected from yahoo with the following error #5.0.0 smtp; 554 Message not allowed - Headers are not RFC compliant[291]> #SMTP# I had to "solve" the problem by routing the mail directly, rather than through the ...

Re: need some help for a bash script ...

Eeek. That's a bit ugly, reading your output and rewriting it at the same time in multiple passes.

I'm pretty sure there is a way we can use sed to do it in one pass using some of sed's more advanced options. I'll see if I can puzzle out the syntax required.

Re: Handling Spammy IP Addresses / Address Blocks

In the meantime, another possible way might be to use fail2ban to monitor the mail log to watch for those frequent abusers and then have it configure iptables to block/allow/rate limit those IPs on the fly.
