Great! I'll give it a shot. I suppose I'll know next week how well it works. Are the defaults (below) good enough?

uri SPAMCOP_URI_RBL eval:check_spamcop_uri_rbl('sc.surbl.org','127.0.0.2')describe SPAMCOP_URI_RBL URI's domain appears in spamcop database at sc.surbl.org
tflags SPAMCOP_URI_RBL net
score SPAMCOP_URI_RBL 4.0

Subject: Those sneaky porno spammers


Solaris 9 Postfix 2.1.x Spamassassin 2.64 Amavisd-new-20030616-p10 Clamav-0.74 Bayes Razor DCC

Hello All,

I have setup what I consider to be a very good MTA for our College which is fending off a 49/51% SPAM/HAM ratio and dealing with many thousands of emails a day. While the system does a very good job of detecting SPAM, there is one brand of porno SPAM that is constantly evading our defenses. It usually has a white, grey, blue or purple background, giberish words and hardcore, explicit porno pics from an third-party web server. I've turned off viewing non-local images. Plus I have lowered the SPAM threshold to 4.0 and setup Bayes learning with access limited to our domain only. After setting up Bayes, I didn't get this particlar porno SPAM for a few days but then it started up again and nothing I do can stop it. One of two things happens:

1. There are zero spam headers added to the email in my INBOX or,
2. It gets a 3.8 spam rating and is delivered.

I have included both examples from today's barrage as attachments. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One of those is already in SURBL.


erimomisaki.com is 201.12.78.140 [ rbl lookup ]
domain registered: 08-27-2004 [ full whois ]

* URIBL: ws.surbl.org: not listed [ report ]
* URIBL: sc.surbl.org: listed [Message body contains SpamCop
spamvertised domain.]
* URIBL: ob.surbl.org: listed [Blocked, See:
http://www.surbl.org/lists.html#ob]
* URIBL: multi.surbl.org: listed [Blocked, erimomisaki.com on lists
[sc][ob], See: http://www.surbl.org/lists.html]
* URIBL: ab.surbl.org: not listed


The other would be soon, but we have some technical dificulties in the
submission department today :)


So I say use SURBL.
