Title: Message

Hi

 

After adding and editting some files, I do a testrun using:

 fetchmail -v -v -f /root/.fetchmailrc-ham

 

I then see that the mail is loaded from the exchange imap folders, but when fetchmail tries to give the mail to the mailscanner, I get this:

 

fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
fetchmail: SMTP< 554 Service unavailable; Client host [127.0.0.1] blocked using dun.dnsrbl.net
fetchmail: SMTP error: 554 Service unavailable; Client host [127.0.0.1] blocked using dun.dnsrbl.net
fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't like recipient address [EMAIL PROTECTED]'

I'm using amavisd-new, procmail and postfix.

 

Which of the three should be losened up to accept mail from 127.0.0.1 ???

On your Linux box create three mail aliases (In sendmail syntax)

    spamlearn:    "|/usr/local/bin/sa-learn --spam --norebuild"

    hamlearn:      "|/usr/local/bin/sa-learn --ham --norebuild"

    spamforget:    "/usr/local/bin/sa-learn --forget --norebuild"

 

Install a copy of Fetchmail on your Linux box and create three .fetchmailrc files (I call mine .fetchmailrc-spam, .fetchmailrc-ham, .fetchmailrc-forget) with a content of something like:

----

# Configuration created Fri Nov 14 07:36:28 2003

set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
defaults proto imap
poll mailbox.hunter.com proto imap
 user "NTDomain/UserName/MailboxName" pass "userpassword"
  is spamlearn here folder "Your spam folder" keep fetchall no rewrite

----

This one feeds the "spamlearn" alias (note the "is spamlearn here") change that for the ham and forget folders.

 

Make sure IMAP is enabled on your Exchange server.

 

Create a public folder to put spam in.

Create a public folder to put ham in.

Create a public folder to put things to be forgotten (False positives).

 

Add crontab entries on your Linux box which run fetchmail with each of the three .fetchmailrc files, this MUST be either in the crontab of the user that sendmail runs as or in your /etc/crontab file run as your mail user.  This works on FreeBSD:

45 */4 * * *    mailnull    /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -f /path/to/.fetchmailrc-spam

15 */4 * * *    mailnull    /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -f /path/to/.fetchmailrc-ham

35 */6 * * *    mailnull    /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -f /path/to/.fetchmailrc-forget

15 01 * * *    mailnull    /usr/local/bin/sa-learn --rebuild

 

Seems to work for me here after using this for about 3 weeks.

Hi

I have about 7000 spam messages in an Outlook pst file. I tried exporting the pst to a text file, but after two hours processing this file, sa-learn told me it had seen only 1 message.

What should a text file with mail in it look like?

Or does someone know a good way to transfer the mail from exchange / outlook to my linux mailgateway system?
