X posting due to importance

This was posted to Spam-L list. Very interesting. We should all watch closely. Consider how we would defend our projects if we had to. :-) A Northern California District Court judge issued a temporary restraining order to prevent SpamCop, an antispam operation, from interfering with messages sent by alleged junk e-mailer OptInRealBig.com. http://news.com.com/2100-1024_3-5210518.html?tag=nefd.top Chris Santerre System Admin and SARE Ninja http://www.rulesemporium.com 'It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.'

Stupid SPAM
by Jose-Marcio.Martins＠ensmp.fr 11 May '04

11 May '04

Hello, Take a look at this SPAM : http://www.ensmp.fr/~martins/Prozac Mainly, check the source. The problem is that it comes with many, many URLs. At the beginning, there are URLs needed by the SPAM itself. After, it puts many URLs with font size equals to 1. Most of these last domains aren't spam... 8-) Jose-Marcio -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Jose Marcio MARTINS DA CRUZ Tel. :(33) 01.40.51.93.41 Ecole des Mines de Paris http://j-chkmail.ensmp.fr 60, bd Saint Michel http://www.ensmp.fr/~martins 75272 - PARIS CEDEX 06 mailto:Jose-Marcio.Martins@ensmp.fr

SpamCopURI rpms
by Robert Brooks 10 May '04

10 May '04

Hi, I've created binary and source rpms which can be found here: http://www.elvis.demon.co.uk/SpamCopURI/ I will look at improving these and better integration with SpamAssassin rpms over the next few weeks, but in the mean time your feedback is welcome. Note it is likely you will have to --force the install so that the common files with SpamAssassin are replaced. It is _strongly recommended_ that you build from the source rpm on your system as the binaries are built on RedHat 7.3 and may not suit your systems. rpm --rebuild perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-SpamCopURI-0.15-1.src.rpm It likely I will also share some related rpms in the near future. If anyone has a better place to host the rpms let me know.

Re: [Possible Spam] New Redirector?
by Carl Hutzler 08 May '04

Yes, we are aware of it and working to shut it down. It is not easy at all due to how the system works (as is the case with many redirector URLs). Feel free to block the URL completely. It is only serving ads for AOL partners really. Should not be a big problem if you can block URLs in your antispam SW. -Carl david(a)platformnetworks.net wrote: >============================================================================== > MAIL SECURITY MESSAGE >============================================================================== > >Mail Security is not 100% sure if the attached message is spam or not and >needs your help to decide. > > >How to help: >-------------------------- >If the attached message is not spam, please forward this email to >notspam(a)mailsecurity.net.au so we can correct our database, which will >stop future messages of this type from being intercepted. > >If the attached message is spam, please delete this message and future >messages like this will be blocked. > >Attached Message Details: >-------------------------- >From: david(a)platformnetworks.net >Subject: New Redirector? > >Thankyou for your help, your assistance helps us to keep our databases as >up to date as possible. >-- >Kind Regards, > >Mail Security >www.mailsecurity.net.au > > >======================================================================== > Pain free spam & virus protection by: www.mailsecurity.net.au > Forward undetected SPAM to: spam(a)mailsecurity.net.au >======================================================================== > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Subject: > New Redirector? > From: > "David Hooton" <david(a)platformnetworks.net> > Date: > Fri, 7 May 2004 15:38:40 +1000 > To: > <discuss(a)lists.surbl.org> > > > Hi All, > > Just found an AOL redirector being abused in a spam: > >http://www.aol.com/ams/clickThruRedirect.adp?1= > >073757372,2147618210x2147531923,http://www.freeyouraccounts.com/stressfree/= > > Not sure if it’s included in the SURBL/SpamCopURI redirector list yet > or not – is this published anywhere? > > Regards, > > David Hooton > > Senior Partner > > Platform Networks > > www.platformnetworks.net > -- Carl Hutzler Director, AntiSpam Operations America Online Mail Operations cdhutzler(a)aol.com 703.265.5521 work 703.915.6862 cell

When I tried processing your message I got the message from SpamCop saying ~"ISP says problem will cease". So the ISP is presumably working on it. Let me know if the spam continues, and I'll add bravemouser.com to my manual blacklist. Jeff C.

Should bravemouser.com be blacklisted?
by ITReading ITReading 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hello all, I continue to receive messages with URIs to "bravemouser.com" in the past few weeks. Should this domain be added to one of the surbl lists? Most of the messages are TV Pay Per View spam. An example of one of the messages can be found here: http://www.aldridge-borden.com/bravemouser.txt -Charles Solomon

Fwd: URI's not recognized
by Jeff Chan 07 May '04

07 May '04

This is a forwarded message From: Menno van Bennekom <mvbengro(a)xs4all.nl> To: spamassassin-users(a)incubator.apache.org Date: Friday, May 7, 2004, 3:35:37 AM Subject: URI's not recognized ===8<==============Original message text=============== Hi, I have problems getting URI's recognized by SpamAssassin 2.63 (postfix/amavisd-new). At first redirects like this were not recognized: http://rd.yahoo.com*http://spammer.spam.biz So I removed ^ from the BIZ expression: uri BIZ_TLD /(?:https?:\/\/|mailto:)[^\/]+\.biz(?:\/|$)/i Still the following was not recognized: <a href=3Dhttp://away.goingabroadd.biz/aps/cms/> Because of the 3D (and other stuff spammers put there lately). Only by changing 'uri BIZ_TLD' to 'body BIZ_TLD' it gets recognized. But I use SpamCopURI and that also doesn't recognize URI's with things in front of http. And I can't tell SpamCopURI to use the 'body' check instead or uri.. How can I make the URI subroutine recognize these URI's? Would using SpamAssassin v3.0 help? Thanks Menno ===8<===========End of original message text===========

ANNOUNCE: Mail::SpamAsssassin::SpamCopURI 0.15
by Eric Kolve 07 May '04

07 May '04

I have just released SpamCopURI 0.15. I have fixed a few bugs that were reported and also added some url extraction so open_redirect resolution isn't need any longer for urls that redirect through google.com, msn.com, yahoo.com or any site that redirects based on a url being passed in the query or path portion. The install *should* be smoother. The Makefile.PL now attempts to detect where SpamAssassin was installed and place itself in that directory. See the Changes file for a complete list. https://sourceforge.net/projects/spamcopuri/ --eric
