Thread: RBLs ... I'm tired of spam ...
*Way* off topic ... but I'm tired of processing through >300 messages nightly of which 10 are stuff that need to be approved for the lists, and 290 are trash ... What are ppl using / trusting out there as far as Free RBLs are concerned?

plus I have a contract for rbl-plus.mail-abuse.org
opm.blitzed.org is open proxies, and the others are obvious.

Yes, SPAM is really a problem here. Unfortunatelly, telco companies
won't do anything to keep spammers out of service. It's very radical to
simply drop all the brazilian IPs, and I just cannot do this otherwise
I'd be unable to talk to anyone. I've added about 20 B classes to the
mta's access list and 99% of the spam went away. This is because ALL the
spam that comes from Brazil are originated from ADSLs/Cablemodens. Yet, I used to receive many spams from US/China
untilI started
using spews.
I think that people with .org/.net/.com domains are really in a bad
situation. People say that when they receive 300 mails a day, 250 or so
are spam. This sounds really bad. In the worst times, I used to receive
at most 5-10 spams a day, from 400 other e-mails.

I found mail-abuse.org to be very burocratic to add a single IP to
it's database. I think this makes them much less effective.

Install SpamAssassin, and let it figure it out for you. It uses a whole list of RBLs and uses them to score a message as spam, instead of just blanket-denying messages from those SMTP servers. It works quite well. On Tuesday 27 May 2003 01:41 pm, Marc G.

Another vote for SpamAssassin. We use it at work here and it's quite nice. It puts all the "borderline" spam in a holding area and sends you a daily email with all the topics / names listed and you can request those out of the spam bucket. It's configurable to the extreme.

Ya, Spews is one of the 'evil ones' ... one of the blocks we were on in panama was in spews, and they don't seem to provide any way (that we could find) of removing the IPs when the offending server(s) were taken off the network ...

Per user or site.... I use Spamassassin AFTER the 4 RBL's and a personal fecal Roster. --On Tuesday, May 27, 2003 21:31:45 -0300 The Hermit Hacker <scrappy@postgresql.org> wrote: > On Tue, 27 May 2003, scott.marlowe wrote: > >> Another vote for SpamAssassin.

I am very impressed with the amavisd-new, spamassassin, razor combination that I installed on my home machine a few days. Not had to manually process any spam since, and mailq provides a nice reference on what could be outright blocked. http://lawmonkey.org/anti-spam.html is a well written guide to get started, although most of the details were taken care of by the debian package used. /Allan -- Allan Wind P.O.

I'm using bogofilter. It works well after learning what is spam/non spam. I save all spam into seprarate box and check it once a week. It takes mostly pressing "d" in pine and could be done very quickly. Oleg On Tue, 27 May 2003, Marc G.

Is it possible to get the transaction ID of the transaction a trigger fired on from plpgsql? I see in postgresql/contrib/dbmirror/pending.c a C based stored procedure that is accessing this information. I can't find anything in the online docs for accessing the xid from plpgsql.

I know there are alot of people that really appreciate PG and all the work that so many people have contributed. I am also sure that there are alot of people who would like to contribute to PG but don't feel they have any means except in the evangelism arena. This is something you could probably dish out to a few trusted individuals. Not to accept/post to the list but maybe to just check in and go through and delete all the spams. If that is possible to set up you can count me in as a volunteer to check in and do some spam clearing a couple times a day.
