Dear Scott,

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

I looked at it a while back, nothing really popped out at me as being very interesting. Whats it do that you dont get now?

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?

I dont see that it does anything other than greylisting, which Ive already got with qgreylist.

Is qgreylist a part of ASL?

scott · **Posted:** Thu Feb 21, 2008 12:16 pm

Its available in the [atomic] channel:

yum install qgreylist

Thx! Just install nothing more? Config?

p.s. Yum is not working right now (it hangs)

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 09:56:19 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.

BerArt · **Posted:** Fri Feb 22, 2008 9:00 am

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?

breun · **Posted:** Fri Feb 22, 2008 9:03 am

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

BerArt · **Posted:** Fri Feb 22, 2008 9:11 am

I suppose it's not only install the packages but also configure eveything? Maybe a new concpet for Scott; ASM (Atomic Secure Mail)

breun · **Posted:** Fri Feb 22, 2008 9:13 am

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.

Have you had any success using SARE and Scott's mentioned method on filtering spam?
