similar to: R-beta: reacting to spam

Dear readers of R-help as most of you will *not* be aware, R-help has continued to work the way it does, only thanks to a dozen of volunteers, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help . The volunteers manually moderate e-mails that "look like spam" (and sometimes are and sometimes are not). While much more than 90% of the spam is filtered out long before a human sees it, with

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

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

Hello, everyone. I've proven to myself, via throw-away addresses, that individuals and robots sift thru archives and mailing list subscription lists, gathering addresses to sell on CD's to spammers. No list is immune, especially if it or its archives are available over the web. I've been spammed within a very short while of my address appearing on a posted message. If you go to

Apologies, I thought I was following exactly that sentence and trying to make a minimal post that would waste as little developer bandwidth as possible given the lack of a better system. Anyway, I have been using R for like forever (20 years). In my current project, I have run into problems with stack overflows in R's dendrogram code when trying to use either str() or as.hclust() on very

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 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

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

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, I'm sure you have all noticed the recentincrease in spam making it through the list filters. I guess this is due to the spammers adopting techniques specifically intended to evade SpamAssassin. Over the next week, I will be adding add some extra anti-spam measures to the list. Hopefully this will stop this abuse. Until then, patience please. Thanks, Damien Miller

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.

It's not just you. Same thing happens here. I went back to 1.0.7. Stefan Gofferje wrote: > Hi folks, > > I used to have some constructions like > > exten => number/callerid,1,Goto(somewhere) > > After updating to 1.0.8 those does not work any more. > Any hints? > > Regards, > Stefan >

Hello everyone, I seem to remember that, quite some while back, there were provisions in OpenSSH to look at the version string in the peer's hello and activate compatibility options for peer software that needed them. Now, with CVE-2024-31497, I would like to have a look at the version strings of clients and servers other organizations use to exchange data with us; I remember

We seem to have found our way onto the email lists of a spammer. I believe that Martin Maechler is out of town presently, but perhaps he can find a way of

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
