Shouldn't find FPs in any of the examples you posed, since a query should only be done on a mail-from domain name, and VeriScam would only respond to a query with the 64.94.110.11 IP address if the domain name ends in .net or .com.

This is a great find!  I'm just wondering where the potential FP's would come from so that I can determine the proper scoring.  Obviously people that misspell their from domain could be tagged, but what happens when someone uses <> or how about just "John Smith", would that score on this test?  I'm of course capturing to see what I get.

Also, is this a total replacement for MAILFROM on .com and .net domains?

Thanks,

Matt

Yep, that's correct, and probably not a good thing.  I have been using an
rhsbl test, and it appears to be doing what it should--that is, query DNS
with the return address and if it comes back with 64.94.110.11, add weight
to the message.  Here is what I am using:

    VERISCAM    rhsbl    .    64.94.110.11    1    0

Yes, that's a period "." where you would normally list the rhsbl lookup
domain.  This has the effect of JunkMail doing an "A" record lookup against
your own DNS for the return address listed in the message, and if it is an
invalid domain, the DNS returns with 64.94.110.11, which causes the message
to fail the VERISCAM test and weight gets added to the message.  I've set
the weight to 1 for testing, but so far messages that have gotten flagged by
the VERISCAM test have been spam.

The result would always be the same: 64.94.110.11  so you would tag every
message as spam.  Right?

Interesting side effect of Verislime's move. Just setup a ip4r test that
goes to a bogus domain and then all the bad addresses result in an answer
    
of
  
64.94.110.11. Maybe this is how we can take advantage of this?

If i made an ip4r test of aklsjlajkdjkhskljdkjldhsjdshkhklshdkjl.com then
I'd probably be good no?
