by Chris Santerre 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

I don't get his one at all!!! WTH??? I'm CC'ing to SURBL because look at the MX for this domain! uniprepacademy.com dns_mx: neti-outblaze-com.mr.outblaze.com neti-outblaze-com-bk.mr.outblaze.com I know it didn't come form that domain, but the advertised part of this email points to that domain. I'm guessing this is just an email to try to harvest addresses from people who reply? ____________________________________________________________ Received: from hotmail.com (bay19-f20.bay19.hotmail.com [64.4.53.70]) by moglobal.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id i91FRj7K002969 for <csanterre(a)MERCHANTSOVERSEAS.COM>; Fri, 1 Oct 2004 11:27:49 -0400 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Fri, 1 Oct 2004 07:50:06 -0700 Received: from 216.139.176.61 by by19fd.bay19.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Fri, 01 Oct 2004 14:49:01 GMT X-Originating-IP: [216.139.176.61] X-Originating-Email: [estherekii17(a)hotmail.com] X-Sender: estherekii17(a)hotmail.com Reply-To: esthereki17(a)indiatimes.com From: "Esther Eki" <estherekii17(a)hotmail.com> Bcc: Subject: Greeting to you Date: Fri, 01 Oct 2004 09:49:01 -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: <BAY19-F20hqiTPuUMMA00032335(a)hotmail.com> X-OriginalArrivalTime: 01 Oct 2004 14:50:06.0052 (UTC) FILETIME=[F09E5240:01C4A7C5] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.0 (2004-09-13) on mail X-Spam-Level: **** X-Spam-Status: No, score=4.3 required=5.0 tests=FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS, RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET,RCVD_IN_SBL,SARE_TOCC_NONE,SARE_TOWRITE autolearn=disabled version=3.0.0 Hello, I am happy to write you this letter, to me it took a lot of time before I decided to write you, I am just 17 years old and I lost both parents in a ghastly motor accident last year and since then, I have been staying with my Aunty, but of recent she has been persuading me to go into prostitution rather than going to school to further my education. But I dissappointed her by refusing not to go into prostitution and that made her not to assist me in obtain my school's scholarship , I begged her for her assistance so I can resume school, but she refused and said that would be the punishment for me to disobey her, now I am in a situation for me to obey her but I don't want to, the only way for me to free my self from this situation, is for me to be able to pay my school fees so that I will leave her house, and I am also applying for a scholarship that would help me with my tuition, accomodation and all the expenses that I would need to pay while in school. Because by the time I my school fees, I will move away from her house and resume school and start staying in the school's dormitory and that would keep her away from me, and I won't have to be persuaded to go into such bad thing, presently I am in my final year at University Preparatory Academy, Jos, Plateau State and all fees goes directly to the school. But the problem I am having now is how do I get my school fees paid, and thats the reason I decided to write you for your assistance, someone that would take me as a sister and give me good advise and support in prayers and I am also praying to God to bless me, and thats while I decided to write you, to know if you can contact the school on my behalf and also help me beg them for the scholarship which I applied for, so I can resume school as soon as possible, God bless you and your humble family. Please if you want to contact the school, this is the address The Principal University Preparatory Academy Jos Pleateau State principal(a)uniprepacademy.com I hope to hear from you soon. Yours Esther Eki

Postfix pre-queue filter
by Yves Junqueira 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hi, I've just uploaded to sourceforge the first version of a spamvertised URIs pre-queue filter for Postfix. It's simple and effective. It will analyse the message before it enters the queue and, in case of a listed url, it will REJECT the message and the sending client will take the proper actions. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pf-aux/suriproxy-0.8.tar.gz?download See the readme file for instructions. I can't assure how stable it is at the momment, that's why I am asking some feedback. What do you think? -- Yves Junqueira http://www.lynx.com.br

Help classify quickinspirations.com
by Chris Santerre 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

quickinspirations.com Thoughts on this guy? 48 NANAS hits. Listed in dnsbl.njabl.org Didn't we already classify this? I wonder if we can get a crossref lookup of the global whitelist, so we can see what has already been whitelisted. I belive this is a spammer in sheeps clothing. But it fools people into signing up for a stupid inspiration newsletter. But the subjects of the newsletter are stuff like: Subject: Get a Credit Report Instantly! Then a inspiration quote, then a big ad. I think we may see more of this in the future. I think it is a UC candidate. Do we have enough listed in UC for testing yet?

stopping ds.surbl.org service
by Jeff Chan 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

ds.surbl.org was an experimental list which is no longer getting any hits. We were serving it on a few name servers as a separate test list. I'd like to shut it down. Does anyone have any comments about doing that? If in future the folks behind the data are able to make a slice of it that only has pure spammers, then perhaps we may use it, but they don't appear to be moving in that direction currently.

You yourself have said this about IPs. >The same cannot be said of spammers using zombies. Yes, but we are targeting spammers, not just spammers using zombies :) I'm wondering if we relist it, how long it would be until we heard someone complain. I'm only making this kind of a big deal because I think we will see this method grow. Hell what is to stop the spammer from getting his sister to complain to us that she signed up for this newsletter and it needs to be whitelisted? Something to consider is weighting the whitelist requests for domains that don't feel right like this one. One request for a domain like this may not cut the mustard. 3...OK. --Chris

Hopefully he's learned his lesson. > What the hell?? I just read this whole thread! I would not have taken this guy off! No way in hell!!!!! Ray, add this yahoo to UC please! The domain is brand new, sends spam, and screams about getting listed! How the hell can he be legit! Did you guys read the NANAS listings that showed his wonderful emails? These are just the ones reported. He 'purchased' a list. So none of these were opt in. This is not the last we will hear of this guy. I think taking him off is a mistake. And IF he does it again, I'll report his a$$ to every RBL I can find, simply because you guys removed this idiot. --Chris (Jaded, fed up, and tired of the BS.)
