Why is RP_MATCHES_RCVD so "heavy"?

2016-11-22 Thread Eric Abrahamsen
I get a lot of spam that passes the RP_MATCHES_RCVD test; it wouldn't make it into my inbox otherwise. I see the scoring recently got bumped to -3.0, which makes false negatives even more likely. I'm not expert enough in the nature of spam to really understand why this test is so strong, nor to fe

DNS resolution issue

2016-09-26 Thread Eric Abrahamsen
I found some posts on the web indicating that, if spamd is having trouble doing DNS resolution, it's probably because of a bum entry in /etc/resolv.conf. I don't think that's the case here, though, so I'm coming to the list... My logs are full of runs like this: dns: sendto() to [127.0.0.1]:53 fa

getting the daily learning cronjob right

2015-11-16 Thread Eric Abrahamsen
I set up a new mail server (postfix) a month or two ago, and all is working well. My solution for learning spam and ham was to give users two mailboxes, learn/ham and learn/spam, where they move messages to learn. Every three hours a cronjob runs to iterate through virtual users, learn the message

spamass-milter and virtual config dir

2015-10-17 Thread Eric Abrahamsen
(I've asked this on the postfix group, too, but so far no response, so I'm trying here as well.) tl;dr: I can't get spamd/spamc talking together, using the virtual-config-dir option, when using spamassassin and postfix together, via spamass-milter. Full problem: I'm using spamassassin together w
