Message-ID: Julian I am running MS-4.35.5-1 (BETA) with SA 3.0.1 on one of our 8 mail gateways. This and the other gateways use both Sophos and McAfee A-V engines. When I checked the logs for the Bagle-AU virus this morning I found that on the 4.35.5-1 system _only_ of the 8 gateways, the logs show MailScanner + Sophos finding the Bagle-AU virus mutiple times in the _same_ message; that is it has the same Sendmail queue ID. It appears that MailSanner is not removing some Bagle-infected messages from "mqueue.in". Some messages have been (re-)scanned 320+ times since early this morning. The problem seems to have started on Saturday although we have been detecting the virus since at least midday Friday with Sophos. We have Sophos IDE 386.200411010710 currently in use. I have restarted MailScanner but that has no effect. Am investigating further.

In MailScanner.conf - I've got: SpamAssassin Auto Whitelist = no However this seems to be ignored if SA3 is used - I found the following in SA.pm: if (MailScanner::Config::Value('spamassassinautowhitelist')) { # JKF 14/6/2002 Enable the auto-whitelisting functionality MailScanner::Log::InfoLog("Enabling SpamAssassin auto-whitelist functionality..."); if ($SAversion<3) { } } So I've added: use_auto_whitelist 0 to spam.assassin.prefs.conf which has disabled it successfully. Has anyone else experienced this?? - it's probably worth a mention somewhere for upgraders.

Let's see: You stated that dspam looks better than spamassassin... I asked why you think so. Up to this time: No reply. I moreover told you that this topic has been covered a few times and asked you to have a look at the archives. What is your definition of "useful information"?

And this is still true. Read the posting Dhawal provided (even though interpreting it the wrong way). In my interpretation that posting tells you why SpamAssassin is a far superior tool for the job. Until someone tells me why this is not true I personally do not see the point in having Julian support dspam as well. It will just consume more of his resources without any benefit.

Therefore this means a lot more security. First of all we could start a big argument whether or not the same is true for SpamAssassin and Dspam (or any other scanner) that is: Is there spam out there that Dspam will frequently catch a lot faster than SpamAssassin? But more importantly: Even if that is the case, is it really worth the effort? With effort I mean Julian programming and maintaining the support and your hardware having to go through a lot more trouble. If Dspam catches less spam: Why bother. If Dspam catches more spam: I would agree. I am not convinced this is the case though. If Dspam in combination with SpamAssassin catches let's say 1% more spam than SA alone: Personally I would not want to spend resources on this especially since I can be pretty sure that the SA folks (or the guys at SURBL or rulesemporium) will "fix" this pretty soon.

I'd strongly suggest that you do not do that. The AWL is not a rule, it's a score averaging subsystem of the SA code itself, and this method does not reliably disable the AWL, although bugs in SA might cause it to nullify the score, this should be regarded as a SA bug and not used to configure SA. Steven's question isn't about how to disable the AWL. It's about why the normal MailScanner method doesn't work. I think this might be a subtle API change on the SA end. Use the "use_auto_whitelist" option until Julian can fix it. Julian's been aware of the problem since SA 3.0 came out. In the meantime, if you've got SA 3.x disable it with the use_auto_whitelist option as Steve did. For those using 2.6x, SpamAssassin Auto Whitelist = no in MailScanner.conf should work fine on it's own. Eventualy it should work for 3.0 again, but use_auto_whitelist is a good workaround in the meantime. Using a score 0 setting for the AWL is a bad idea. This works well for rules with fixed scores, but not so well for the AWL which has a dynamic scoring system and doesn't normally even have a score statement. ------------------------ MailScanner list ------------------------ To unsubscribe, email jiscmail@jiscmail.ac.uk with the words: 'leave mailscanner' in the body of the email.

Message-ID: Jan-Peter Koopmann wrote: > If Dspam catches less spam: Why bother. While I don't have an opinion about Dspam itself, I think the logic behind this statement is rather faulty. It's not important whether or not Dspam catches more or less spam than SA. What's important is whether or not it catches _different_ spam than SA. The "more or less" argument only applies if someone is asserting that we should use Dspam instead of SA. That's not necessarily what is being asserted here. What's being requested is the ability to use them together. The value of such a situation lies in whether or not Dspam would catch a group of spam that SA misses, even if the total amount of spam that Dspam catches is stuff that SA misses (just like the value of using multiple virus scanners: it's not a matter of whether or not the 2nd scanner catches as much as the first one, it's useful to you as long as it has the potential to be catching a group of things the first scanner doesn't catch). And whether or not the SA folks catch that other group of spam soon is immaterial. What spam you can catch with SA in the next release doesn't help you much while you're using the current release. I think something like the generic external virus scanner option that was set up would be a useful thing to have for spam scanners as well. Have a program group that can be set up to give a "it's not spam", "it's spam" or "it's high spam" result (perhaps with a report string that gets put in the 2nd part of the spamcheck report) after mailscanner sends that program the message.

I've just upgraded to a new email server and now Eudora clients are getting 10060 connection time out errors on a regular bases. I see no sendmail, imap, pop or OS errors and the system isn't even breaking a sweat with the load staying under 1.0. I've check the Advanced network settings in Eudora and the time outs are set to 300 and the buffer size is set to 4096. The server is a Dell Power Edge 1750 with dual Xeons running RedHat Ent. Linux V3, sendmail 8.13.1, UW imap 2004a, MailScanner 4.34.8-4, SA 3.0. Only Eudora is getting the time outs with all other clients working fine. Has anyone seen this problem before and can tell me how to fix it? TIA. --Tom Combs -- Tom Combs E-mail: combs@magnet.fsu.edu National High Magnetic Field Laboratory Phone: (850) 644-1657 1800 E.

I've never heard any of them suggest such a thing before, and I can only find two references to such a thing on the web. One is part of a university mailsystem patch to libs/UMR/SpamPrefs.pm. The other is a post by someone claiming that setting wasn't disabling the AWL (in german). Are you sure it was one of the actual SA guys, i.e. one of the developers, and not a general SA user who might not know what he or she is talking about? Just based on how the AWL works, I'm quite shocked it has any effect at all. ------------------------ MailScanner list ------------------------ To unsubscribe, email jiscmail@jiscmail.ac.uk with the words: 'leave mailscanner' in the body of the email.

I should have added: Thoroughly test MailScanner processing and email delivery. If you see any "cannot decode" error messages. Simply stop MailScanner, then run the MailScanner 4.35.9-1 install script again. Start MailScanner and again thoroughly test MailScanner Processing and email delivery. All should now be well.

If that's the > case then try to reject them instead of drop. Yes. On your Windows clients, set the Windows firewall to allow in port 113 queries. The difference is this: When you block port 113, Windows just drops the packets and the ident check done by the server has to timeout. When you accept port 113 (but run no identd on the Windows boxes), Windows rejects the 113 connections immediately, so the server doesn't have to wait for a response. I often have to do this on our Windows clients. -- Julian Field www.MailScanner.info Professional Support Services at www.MailScanner.biz MailScanner thanks transtec Computers for their support Buy the MailScanner book at www.MailScanner.info/store PGP footprint: EE81 D763 3DB0 0BFD E1DC 7222 11F6 5947 1415 B654 ------------------------ MailScanner list ------------------------ To unsubscribe, email jiscmail@jiscmail.ac.uk with the words: 'leave mailscanner' in the body of the email.

I should have added: Thoroughly test MailScanner processing and email delivery. If you see any "cannot decode" error messages. Simply stop MailScanner, then run the MailScanner 4.35.9-1 install script again. Start MailScanner and again thoroughly test MailScanner Processing and email delivery. All should now be well.

From mkettler at EVI-INC.COM Mon Nov 1 20:36:55 2004 From: mkettler at EVI-INC.COM (Matt Kettler) Date: Thu Jan 12 21:27:26 2006 Subject: Time Difference Message-ID: Hmm, that's quite strange.. However, consider this fact: Neither MailScanner nor sendmail creates those timestamps.... they are created by syslogd. From the looks of it, your local system clock hiccuped by 2 hours and went back again, but MailScanner and sendmail have nothing to do with this. They can't. Do you have a NTP client running on that box that may have gone awry?

But today I saw that Julian had added that patch to the stable release, so I went ahead and installed it and tested this rule. And, for the first time since SA3 was released, I'm again getting hits on the 'NO_DNS_FOR_FROM' rule! So, bottom line to get this rule working is MS 4.35.9 or newer must be installed, and you MUST set 'Envelope From Header = X-Envelope-From:' in MailScanner.conf. SA3 will ONLY recognize the from header 'X-Envelope-From:' and it will ONLY accept it at the top of the headers. Perhaps there should be an FAQ entry explaining this, or better yet a comment in the MailScanner.conf dialog immediatly above the ''Envelope From Header =' setting. Anyway, thanks to both of you for helping me get this rule working again! -Alan On Sat, 16 Oct 2004 12:23:48 +0100, Julian Field wrote: >In which case you are going to have to apply the patches by hand.

I thought that as long as the header name was "reasonable", SA would find it if it was at the top of the headers. I didn't realise it had to have exactly the right name as well. Can someone else confirm that I now have this right please? If so, I will change the default in the supplied conf file, and add a comment about this requirement.

Yes, the comments in the config file are very helpful if you read them. :-) # Do you want to allow
