Hi, FWIW: the way I solved it was limiting the number of concurrently incoming spam because my box serves only few different domains, so I limited the number of connections from the same smtp client to 5 using iptables (the connn-limit module). This might or not be possible for others. This

Hi, processes. It has even, on occasion, necessitated a reboot when i could not get the system to kill the process. I've taken to trying to scan it daily and manually delete the spam, but that's not always possible. This hint might be totally wrong, but last time I saw such a behavior it was

Re, Anyway, these are the patterns I tried to code in FR_SPAMISLEGAL and FR_HOWTOUNSUBSCRIBE, plus one I considered too generic (if you can't read this mail in html, click here). It might be worth collecting more ham that includes any such common text -- or even _generating_ mails along those

Hi, If these are hit rates with a very minimal daily corpus, don't know if the present ruleset is ready for production unless you have 0 tolerance for any bulk, period I'm afraid I must agree. I don't have a confirmed and sorted corpus per se, but after a single night's live testing with ver

Re, I excluded the last two rules from my masscheck to avoid FPs as these ESPs/X-Mailers are definitely grey, "import rcpt list and blast" sort of ESPs not black for global use. If you can point me to some more information on how to do that, on-list or off-list, I am interested. I am new to

Hi, You run "seek-phrases-in-corpus" over the 2 corpora, and it'll spit out the patterns; you can then write rules based on these. I did so, the results are interesting, though I do not really know where to go from there. If I take the first 50 "best" patterns and strip off the obvious stand

Thanks for taking this burden upon yourself. One other thing you should be prepared to do, if you're willing to devote long-term responsibility to these rules, is to provide sa-update-compatible feeds of your dynamic rules. This is another thing that Justin can probably help you with. I am hap
