OT Mailing List Spam This might be slightly off-topic but as the source of spam is probably a spammer getting emails from this list, I reported him and his service provider should cut off his/her ugly head. I got an email of the classic 419 scam from a "El Amir Assadallah" <rdjir001 at eircom.net>. This has just come if from the abuse department :- Dear Vandaman, Thank you for

I have been using centos 6 in a virtualized system for a few months now. Took a while to batten down the hatches with postfix, rbls, and to use fail2ban correctly. The mailserver for my website(s) are located on the http server as well..an 'all in one' server. DNS servers are separated. My two sites, and their emails addresses (1 for each) have been around for 10 and 15 years

Hi, Some people have suggested maintaining black lists and white lists to avoid spammers and allow legitimate callers into the network. However, the problem with this method is that the spammer's IP address might change due to DHCP. Today a spammer might get aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd and lets say that I put this address in my blacklist. To my annoyance, tomorrow a legitimate caller might get

Hi, This topic has come up previously, across the R e-mail lists and the spammers need not be subscribers (but could be), but simply reasonably competent HTML scrapers. If you look at the online archives of the R lists, for example R-Devel for this month: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2016-December/thread.html <https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2016-December/thread.html>

I get two or three of these a day. They are not from Gmail but have a "reply to" address that is a Gmail account. The messages cone from an email account that passes SPF and DKIM. So the sender and reply domains differ, but that isn't unique. I have email that I need that arrives like that. I am on the Postfix list where this does belong, but I looked at the problem and decided it

Many of you are interested in and have used or recommended fail2ban for your linux boxes. I finally installed it on our FreeBSD server (no asterisk, hence the OT) with the help of a friend from the VoIP Users Conference and Asterisk community. After a lot of new learning about regex, I extended the actions and filters to look at our mail server, plagued by spammers - who isn't? Our server has

Been working on my anti-spam centos mailserver for a while now and thought I would share fail2ban's help. I installed fail2ban a few weeks back. It was tough to get it working properly but pretty much working now. Although it works fine for brute force, I thought I would run it pretty tough against spammers. I started with a regular mail server, my old one, that is horrendously pounded

I agree that no action should be taken. It's somewhat mystifying that the robot known as "Amy Kristen" responds so quickly after my post, and with such regularity (so far twice per hour), using perhaps several email addresses - and using the correct "Reply-To" headers. But more mystifying is that she keeps the same name the whole time. And lucky, I guess, because otherwise

This is a high traffic list as it is and it is really annoying to see that SPAM is on the rise here. I wonder how they can spam the list since each user has to be authenticated. Do spammers go through the trouble of subscribing to the list? In any case, this msg is to the list admin...could you please do whatever it takes to filter this stuff out? Thank you very much. -bakki

Hi! There were several new spam entries in Bugizlla, created from previously created accounts. I think will be good idea to delete them as well as block spammers accounts : Report IDs: 30192, 30191, 30187, 30186, 30185, 30182, 28766, 28717, 28715, 28714. Eugene.

The CentOS team likes to offer an apology for the political spam mails which went through our mail servers earlier today. Due to the nature of mailing list software for public discussion groups, there aren't that many security measures which can be taken to check which mails are supposed to get through and which mails aren't. Total safety can only be had by a moderation of all lists -

This is not a job for dovecot. You should look into whatever is your MTA (exim, postfix etc) and implement the solution there. But my initial suggestion is to check SPF and DKIM of the email. Because I know that gmail does terminate spammers quick, but if you don't validate SPF or DKIM, you might be a victim of spoofed Gmail email. Best regards, Sebastian Nielsen -----Ursprungligt

Hello, I have a question about postfix. I have a few webservers, each with their own mailing system. Obviously manually adding items can be quite tedious going from one to another to another. I am in the process of making a list of domains (commercial spammers) that bother me. My idea is to use the access file to reject them. My question is this... Can I make a text page on one of my html

I know it is not dovecot who should fix this. But anyone using dovecot is using an MTA, and receiving spam ;) I know how to look at email headers. Spf and dkim is not solving anything here. -----Original Message----- From: Sebastian Nielsen [mailto:sebastian at sebbe.eu] Sent: donderdag 11 juni 2020 10:23 To: Marc Roos; 'dovecot'; 'users' Subject: SV: handling spam from

I was disgruntled with the amount of spam I was getting, so I started setting up accounts for the various mailing lists I listen to. I use rspec at showcase60.com to read the mail here. Along with the rspec news that comes over this channel, I''m getting more and more spam addressed to this same account, which means that the open way this list passes around email addresses is

I've already had some pretty effective spam filters (no, I don't tell here which ones.. ``the spammers are listening'') but this one again splipped, since they now used a seemingly harmless "From: ..". and -- yes: R-help received it twice, one through R-announce. I'll try to change that one at least. I've increased the filters against itcmex.com..
