Skip Spamassassin DNS Check If Using MailScanner DNSBL Check

Skip Spamassassin DNS Check If Using MailScanner DNSBL Check

Spamhaus has the limitation for DNS queries from one host. If you are using MailScanner DNSBL Check please edit the configuration under

/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

to add

# By default, SpamAssassin will run RBL checks. If your ISP already
# does this, stop RBL checks in SpamAssassin by un-commenting the
# following line

skip_rbl_checks 1


This will make sure the DNSBL queries is only used by MailScanner not by Spamassassin to scan the same email.

We also received spam from people that used Googlegroup and Yahoogroup. For temporary solution we have disabled Auto Whitelist because it produced failed positive for this type of spam.

# The --auto-whitelist and -a options for "spamd" and "spamassassin" to
# turn on the auto-whitelist have been removed and replaced by the
# "use_auto_whitelist" configuration option which is also now turned on by
# default.

use_auto_whitelist 0

Please also check the /etc/mail/spamassassin/mailscanner.cf and remark those setting so that the setting inside /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf will be used.

Uninstall In Malay

Uninstall In Malay

I need to wrap up this. Due to direct translation to Malay. We select "Dihapuskan" as the translation for uninstall. But a party do not like the word. It can mean "To destroy". You need to know, one word can have many translation. :)

I've compile this words below to replace "dihapuskan" if we need to do that. Anyone can join this discussion here

  • nyah pasang
  • pembatalan pemasangan
  • menge'nyah'

This email
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mypenguin99/message/16465

selain hapus / menghapus / dihapuskan

1. Buang / membuang / dibuangkan
2. Tinggal / meninggalkan / --- (meninggal & ditinggalkan rasanya macam tak
sesuai je)
3. Lupus / melupus / dilupuskan
4. Tanggal (lawan kata bagi pasang/ memasang) / menanggalkan / ditanggalkan
5. Lerai / (lawan kata bagi pasang / susun / ikat) meleraikan / dileraikan
6. Alih (move) / mengalihkan / dialihkan

8. Lepas (lawan kata bagi pasang / ikat) / Melepas (hehe) / Melepaskan /
Dilepaskan
9. Keluar / mengeluarkan / dikeluarkan
10. Cabut (unplug) / mencabut / dicabut


Contoh ayat:
==========

1. Buang - Adakah anda pasti untuk membuang perisian ini dari sistem?
2. Tinggal - Adakah anda pasti untuk meninggalkan perisian ini dari sistem?
3. Lupus - Adakah anda pasti untuk melupuskan perisian ini dari sistem?
4. Tanggal - Adakah anda pasti untuk menanggalkan perisian ini dari sistem?
5. Lerai - Adakah anda pasti untuk meleraikan perisian ini dari sistem?
6. Alih (move) - Adakah anda pasti untuk mengalihkan perisian ini dari sistem?

8. Lepas - Adakah anda pasti untuk melepaskan perisian ini dari sistem?
9. Keluar - Adakah anda pasti untuk mengeluarkan perisian ini dari sistem?

Sebahagian perkataan mempunyai lebih daripada satu maksud.
1. Melepaskan = melancarkan
2. Meninggalkan = (boleh jadi bermaksud) membiarkan
3. Mengabaikan = membiarkan
4. Cabut = lari
5. Tanggal = tarikh

Seronok juga belajar bahasa melayu ni :)

Semoga bermanfaat.

Email Spam Filtering Next Level

Email Spam Filtering Next Level

Spamhaus http://www.spamhaus.org/ has the limit to the DNS queries for email server. This limition hit our email server. Yep we received so much spam the we hit the spamhaus limitation.

http://www.spamhaus.org/organization/dnsblusage.html

We decided to try two methods to increase the efectiveness of our SPAM filtering.

(1) SQLgrey

http://sqlgrey.sourceforge.net/

We are using postfix, by putting software like SQLgrey it will help to decrease the numbers of spam that enter into Mailscanner.

(2) Clamav

http://www.sanesecurity.com/clamav/

The site above provide clamav signatures that will scan for spam in email including inside PDF files.

and now to choose between MailScanner that used Spamassassin and DSPAM.

MailScanner
http://www.mailscanner.info/

Spamassassin
http://spamassassin.apache.org/
DSPAM

or we just build our own DNSBL :)

Apabila Membuat Pilihan Juga Dipersoalkan Part 2

Soalan saya mudah sahaja untuk rakan-rakan dan sahabat-sahabat fikirkan untuk kita sampaikan kepada rakan-rakan yang lain.

Apabila kita sudah membuat pilihan. Menggunakan aplikasi sumber terbuka (OSS), muat turun dengan sendiri, pasangkan ia tanpa bantuan vendor atau syarikat melainkan belajar melalui rakan-rakan dan kawan-kawan dan juga daripada pusat yang juga milik kerajaan bagi sumber terbuka (OSS).

Adakah kita ini berpihak kepada satu vendor?
Adakah membuat pilihan untuk melakukan sendiri juga berpihak kepada satu vendor?
Adakah dengan tidak membeli apa-apa lesen dan berusaha sendiri berpihak kepada satu vendor?
Adakah membuang sebuah aplikasi atas dasar kita rasa perlu membuangnya pun dikatakan berpihak kepada sebuah vendor?

Yang saya marah, pilihan dibuat atas dasar untuk tidak bergantung kepada vendor. Para pegawai kerajaan berusaha sendiri mewujudkan budaya tidak bergantung kepada vendor dengan muat turun aplikasi sendiri, melaksanakan sokongan sendiri tanpa bantuan vendor. Pusat yang ditubuhkan oleh kerajaan bagi tujuan OSS hanya mampu membantu setakat memberi latihan dan tunjuk ajar apa yang perlu dilakukan.

Atas dasar mewujudkan kemahiran dan pengetahuan yang pelbagai kepada para pegawai kerajaan.

Sekarang, mari kita jawab soalan ini pula. Apabila para pegawai-pegawai kerajaan kita sudah bergerak ke arah, usaha sendiri dengan menggunakan aplikasi yang pelbagai, dengan pilihan hasil perbincangan dan pengkongsian diantara para pegawai dan keputusan mereka adalah lebih kepada sumber terbuka disebabkan mudah, murah dan senang dipelajari. Adakah mereka menyokong vendor?

Sedangkan mereka membuat semuanya sendiri bagi tujuan meningkatkan ilmu, kemahiran dan menjimatkan kos.

Fikir-fikirkanlah....

Hanya pandangan peribadi ....

Unix Horror Story

This remind me of my nostalgia days, using NCR Unix or SVR4, FTX the fault tolerance Operating System from Stratus, VOS also from Stratus, HP-UX, VAX VMS, IBM OS400, SUN Solaris, Tandem Himalaya and many more.

The technology the we used today, been around in the mainframe for many years. Only after the CPU getting cheaper, PC now can have the technology in my old days only can be found in the Mainframe or what we call the big iron.

This remind me. I had been call pakcik. Hehehe.
