RE: Howto automatically remove spam instead of maked it as [SPAM]

Or, easier and faster, use the milter-regex (if you are using sendmail as you MTA). You can then build a regex to drop beyond a certain level. Or, if you're feeling braver, you can use the patches at the following page to set discard ranges directly on the spamass-milter: http://www.jmaimon.com/s

Hi, Spam assassin has for a long time been picking up e-mails with content like the following (I have changed a few letters to prevent Bayesian stuff from picking it up), but it's always based on URIs, HTML structure and such, rather than on a plain text match on the body. V LOST P

If you are using dhclient, you should try: man dhclient man dhclient.conf This will depend on what flavour of Linux you're on, different ones might not use the ISC client. Here is a config example which shows how to run a script: timeout 60; retry 60; reboot 10;

Caching results from greylist/spam scoring systems

Only peripherally related to SA, but I figure someone here is bound to know the answer: do any of Razor, Pyzor, DCC or any of the other peer spam rating systems cache queries? That being, if we get the same spam sent to a thousand staff as individual mails, how many lookups do I get, 3 (one for

The regex would be: [a-zA-Z]\s[a-zA-Z]\s[a-zA-z]\s So, (IIRC) the rule could be: body LOCAL_GAPPY_WORDS/[a-zA-Z]\s[a-zA-Z]\s[a-zA-z]\s/ score LOCAL_GAPPY_WORDS2 Try it with a low score to start with. I use the LOCAL_ prefix for any rules I put into local.cf. But, I a

On a side note, I just spent some time reading the supporting documentation that E360 has posted on their site, and (I don't know if someone has already pointed this out, so I am hoping I am not repeating someone else's post) there are some really big holes in their logic for calculating how much r

True, it did begin as American only, back in the DARPA days, but I had always been told the story in the order of DNS being much later than the DARPA days and that it was starting to spread overseas by that stage. If I have it wrong I will take that on board and revise my opinions. I was also tryi

Really, the idea that a US courts can order an international organisation, like InterNIC (that's the Inter- bit of InterNIC), to deregister a domain is farcical. The only pressure the US courts can place on InterNIC is "Do what we say or you get shut down". Well, go ahead. Somehow I think that the

I have a dual P3 server I am hoping to run as our main spam filtering machine. I am satisfied the spam is being caught, I am just worried whether it can deal with the load as the machine idles with one CPU fully utilised. Here are some system details: antispam02# uname -a FreeBSD antispam02.ebit.
