Hello,
I'm trying to figure out what to do to filter these spam messages. I can't seem
to
find a ruleset which would filter them. Perhaps I need to change something in
my configuration? any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Here are the latest spam I'm receiving:
http://optinet.com/spam.txt
My config is pretty much default and I have few extra rulesets from
rulesemporium
1) Technically every message sent through SpamAssassin is filtered. So
I've no idea what you mean above.
2) Taking a stab in the dark you are expecting SpamAssassin to fail to
pass along spam messages for delivery. This is not something that
SpamAssassin does. All SA does is issue a score, one of several
different ways. It is up to your MDA to act on that score if you do
not want spams (and mismarked hams) delivered. Personally I use a
markup that places this at the front of the spam message subject
lines and encapsulates the spam inside a protective outer message.
*****SPAM***** 057.6 **
(That one was a drug spam that triggered just a whole LOT of regular,
SARE, DNS, and JD special rules that are up to 100% perfect anti-spam
rules.)
Then I use OutlookExpress's filtering capability on the first part of
that markup to toss the messages into a "SPAM" folder. I check the
spam folder maybe twice a day to see if there is any mismarked ham.
Those will be low scoring so I sort on the subjects and look at the
ones with the low scores only. Sometimes I amuse myself with the
rather high scores some spams can achive. Leo (see SpamHaus) managed
to break 100 on all low points rules once. He has a sense of humor
at least. He's still a dispensible human being.
I hope this helps you just a little. (And maybe even shows how to make
anti-spam at least "amusing" as well as rewarding.)
