Re: [cobalt-users] SPAM FILTER ON A RAQ4

[Jeroen Wunnink <jeroen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another nice addition to do somewhere from the cron at night:

Make a script like:

#!/bin/bash
wget http://basic.wirehub.net/spamlist.txt
touch access.new
cat access >> access.new
cat spamlist.txt >> access.new
rm -f spamlist.txt
makemap hash access.db < access.new
rm -f access.new

(WATCH the correct position of the <, or you'll lose your relay and block 
map, always back them up)

This will download a daily updated spamlist of a few megs in access format 
(few hundred thousand mailaddy's, open relays and spamhosts), and import it 
into the access block list, do it at night though, because it's a pretty 
intensive job to build a hash DB this size..

Furthermore you could implement spamhaus and ordb rules in your 
sendmail.cf, it'll check every mailaddress and relay server against a 
dynamic online list.., it does pull some traffic, but it'll save you quite 
some on spam too..
