Actually, we can do better than that. Check out Jennifer's Backhair set. http://www.emtinc.net/spamhammers.htm It'll find invalid HTML tags used to break up words, and give a message points simply for having them (so your message would have triggered BACKHAIR_22 even though the word it's breakin

I'd probably use something like (untested, but it should work) uri LOCAL_RID /\?rid=\d/ describe LOCAL_RID Has a possible remove id scoreLOCAL_RID 0.01 and then adjust based on whether or not it's doing what you want. You could be more specific (for instance, limiting it to com|net|org|

The problem is that gpg/pgp aren't very well supported. Getting people to add a few header lines is pretty easy (I've considered it a few times, but never got around to it), but getting people to sign their mail is much harder. After all, that's the reason we aren't all using pgp and gpg already.

Re: [SAtalk] Question re RBL and Rules

2004-01-12 Thread Adam D. Lopresto
That's all you need to do. SpamAssassin doesn't actually run any tests that have a score of 0, so the test was all set up and ready to be run, but disabled (by the zero score). Changing that is all you need to do to enable it. On Mon, 12 Jan 2004, Ed Greenberg wrote: > I found in the rules that

Re: [SAtalk] own rules still not working --- maybe there's something wrong with the rules?

2004-01-10 Thread Adam D. Lopresto
My first thought would be to make sure that you're restarting spamd after making the changes. If you are, then make sure spamd is running as a user with access to where you put the rule (but if you went so far as to stick it in the global rules, that would seem to eliminate that). On Sat, 10 Jan

Are you running spamd as yourself, or as another user (nobody, or root, or whatever)? It sounds quite likely that the user your running spamd as doesn't have a ~/.razor/ set up, but your own user does. On Mon, 8 Dec 2003, Mark Norton wrote: > Any reason why I would get razor results against spam

No. I guess I didn't convey my meaning very well. My situation: I have a box called postal receives all incoming mail for a few domains, runs SpamAssassin on it, and then sends it on to the real mailserver for intended domain. The problem is that postal can't know what users are valid on the act
