Spamdyke

Unread post by franki »

Dear Scott,

Would you consider to package Spamdyke as ART RPM?
Or integrate it with qmail-scanner/clamav?

Blocking spam maybe? The only thing for blocking spam now is Spamassassin, and thats not good enough considering the amount of spam that is not being detected by spamassassin :( Maybe have a look into getting more spam blocked?

Ok I installed it, how can I see if it is working?

If I see this in my logs:

Feb 22 09:55:52 plesk2 greylist[26179]: running cleanup
Feb 22 09:55:52 plesk2 greylist[26179]: IP 201.86.79.228 new - temp error
Feb 22 09:55:54 plesk2 greylist[26179]: SMTP: HELO: 250 hello
Feb 22 09:55:57 plesk2 greylist[26179]: SMTP: MAIL: 250 Mail from <xxxx@xxxxxx.com>
Feb 22 09:55:59 plesk2 greylist[26179]: SMTP: RCPT: 450 Rcpt to <xxx@yle.nl> - Temporary local problem - try later
Feb 22 09:56:19 plesk2 greylist[26179]: SMTP: connection closed

Its working fine? (yle.nl is a test domein on that server)

Do you actually know what greylisting does? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greylisting for instance for more info. Seems to be working fine.

I think the disadvantages of greylisting are pretty big issues though, so we don't use it. SpamAssassin set to a lower threshold + SARE + dcc + razor + pyzor is serving us just fine.

I do now, I did not know the disadvantage yet :) so I removed graylist again. Are there also ART rpm's of SARE + dcc + razor + pyzor?

Yes, dcc, razor-agents and pyzor are available in the atomic yum channel. SARE is a custom SpamAssassin ruleset repository that you can add.

Dcc, razor-agents and pyzor are ready to go packages that act as SpamAssassin plugins. Setting up SARE takes a bit of configuration, setting up cron jobs, etc.
