ANNOUNCE: Mail::SpamAssassin::SpamCopURI 0.21
by Eric Kolve 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

Just released SpamCopURI 0.21: 0.21 Wed Aug 4 16:41:31 PDT 2004 - Defaulting config param spamcop_uri_limit to 20. If the number of URLs in a message exceeds the limit, they are shuffled and only up to the number specified for the limit are tested. - New syntax for specifying the address match for multi.surbl.org: Instead of '127.0.0.0/2' use '127.0.0.0+2' this is being done to eliminate any confusion with CIDR syntax. The old '/' syntax is still supported, but will be deprecated in a future version. http://sourceforge.net/projects/spamcopuri/ Package has also been upload to CPAN as well. --eric

[SURBL-Announce] ANNOUNCE: Additional data sources added to ws.surbl.org
by Jeff Chan 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

ws.surbl.org now has some additional data sources included in it: MailSecurity's formerly proprietary SURBL lists, data from Joe Wein's jwSpamSpy Windows POP mail spam-filtering agent, and data from Raymond Dijkxhoorn's Prolocation RBL. Thanks for providing those Joe, MailSecurity and Raymond! Here are some links to more information about those sources: http://www.surbl.org/lists.html#ws http://www.mailsecurity.net.au/ http://www.joewein.de/sw/jwSpamSpy/index.htm http://www.prolocation.net/ jwSpamSpy is a POP3 spam scanner for Windows. jwSpamSpy looks like it should have pretty good spam performance since Joe's URI domain blacklist has a lot of overlap with some of the ws.surbl.org data plus many other quickly added entries as described at: http://www.joewein.de/sw/spam-bl.htm Those new data sources join entries in ws from three SpamAssassin rulesets: Bill Stearns' sa-blacklist, BigEvil.cf from Chris Santerre and his SARE cohorts, and Paul Barbeau's MidEvil.cf. Other manual lists are also included in WS, most of which are being processed and hand-checked by Chris Santerre. ws now has about 30k records, and here are some statistics from Raymond's mail system: SpamAssassin tag hits: (top 100) #1 64675 BAYES_99 #2 54198 HTML_MESSAGE #3 44694 RCVD_IN_SBL+XBL #4 43427 RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET #5 37191 RCVD_IN_SORBS #6 35888 WS_URI_RBL #7 33729 SPAMCOP_URI_RBL #8 33089 MIME_HTML_ONLY #9 32485 OUTBLAZE_URI_RBL #10 26678 RCVD_IN_DSBL #11 19665 RCVD_IN_AHBL #12 19662 RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK #13 19146 CLICK_BELOW #14 18374 ABUSEBUTLER_URI_RBL WS, SC and OB are detecting roughly the same numbers of spams, though they may be somewhat different spams. Thanks to everyone who is providing data, checking data or otherwise helping with the SURBL project! Please remember to report false positives in SURBLs back to us on the SURBL discussion list or whitelist at surbl dot org http://lists.surbl.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/

ANNOUNCE: Mail::SpamAssassin::SpamCopURI 0.20
by Eric Kolve 01 Aug '04

01 Aug '04

Just released SpamCopURI 0.20. Biggest change is support for multi.surbl.org. Let me know if you see anything strange. See the change notes below for what you need to do for your config. 0.20 Sat Jul 31 22:02:20 PDT 2004 - adding max url config param to limit number of URLs checked in an email. Usage (place into .cf file): spamcop_uri_limit 50 Default is unlimited. - adding support for multi.surbl.org / bitmasked results. query results are cached on a per msg basis to prevent additional lookups. Modify your configuration to look like the following for sc.surbl.org: uri SPAMCOP_URI_RBL eval:check_spamcop_uri_rbl('multi.surbl.org','127.0.0.0/2') describe SPAMCOP_URI_RBL URI's domain appears in spamcop database at sc.surbl.org tflags SPAMCOP_URI_RBL net ws.surbl.org would look like this: uri WS_URI_RBL eval:check_spamcop_uri_rbl('multi.surbl.org','127.0.0.0/4') describe WS_URI_RBL URI's domain appears in ws database at ws.surbl.org tflags WS_URI_RBL net - Removed configuration params: spamcop_uri_src and spamcop_uri_path since these should never be used anymore. - added cleanup for hosts that come in with a dot in front of of the host (e.g. http://.spammy-site.org) http://sourceforge.net/projects/spamcopuri/ --eric
