Spam Settings
K I think this hmaiserver is all good except for spam settings.
I am getting a tremendous amount of spam still...
Here are my settings...
AntiSpam
General
Spam Mark: 3
Add X-Hmailserver Spam
Add X-hMailserver-reason
Spam Delete: 4
Max scan: 5048
Spam Tests - score
Use SPF - 3
Check host in HELO - 3
Check DNS-MX - 4
Spam Assassin
Not installed - cannot find apprpriate instal for Win 2003 Server
Tarpitting - 0
DNS Blacklists - 19 installed - all enabled - scores most 4
zen.spamhaus.org
sbl.spamhaus.org
xbl.spamhaus.org
psbl.surriel.com
bl.spamcop.net
list.dsbl.org
unconfirmed.dsbl.org
dnsbl.sorbs.net
rhsbl.sorbs.net
db.wpbl.info
whois.rfc-ignorant.org
cbl.abuseat.org
access.redhawk.org
dnsbl.ahbl.org
spam.dnsbl.sorbs.net
bl.spamcannibal.org
dsn.rfc-ignorant.org
b.barracudacentral.org
all.spamrats.com
SURBL
multi.surbl.org
Greylisting - enabled
30 mins defer
1 day unused
36 days used
Bypass Greylisting on SPF Pass
I have been playing with these settings for awhile... Setting delete threshold to 4 worked best so far... Even though I hear the false positives occur... But any expected mail is getting thru fine so far...
Spam Assassin - I can't seem to find windows install without major headache... Perl installs etc...

Re: Spam Settings
I'm surprised you get any email with all those blacklists and such a low threshold.
ASSP is a good alternative to Spam Assassin if you can figure out it's many thousands of options. Spam Assassin you should install on linux if possible. The windows version I tried didn't work to well.

If at first you don't succeed, bomb disposal probably isn't for you! ヅ

Re: Spam Settings
If I increase threshold it is brutal...
Especially default 20...
Stop spam with the Anti-Spam-SMTP-Proxy (ASSP)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/assp/files/
Will look into...

Re: Spam Settings
Yep that's the one. It sits in front of hMail though and would take over the job of antispam from hMail. All emails will come into hmail from 127.0.0.1 (If assp is installed locally to hmail)

Re: Spam Settings
I'll post up my settings and see if they help you any. They have changed since my last post a few years back.

Re: Spam Settings
Code: Select all
Anti-spam->General
------------------
Spam mark threshold = 6
Ticked all three boxes
Spam delete threshold = 20
Max size = 1024
Anti-spam->Spam tests
---------------------
All four ticked
All set to 1
Anti-spam->SpamAssassin (optional)
-----------------------
Do not use score from SA
Score = 6
Anti-spam->DNS blacklists
-------------------------
pbl.spamhaus.org | 127.0.0.* | Rejected by http://www.spamhaus.org/pbl | 5
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org | 127.0.0.* | Rejected by http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl-xbl | 5
bb.barracudacentral.org | 127.0.0.* | Rejected by barracuda | 5
bl.score.senderscore.com | 127.0.0.* | Rejected based on SenderScore.org Result | 5
bl.spameatingmonkey.net | 127.0.0.* | Rejected by http://spameatingmonkey.com/ | 5
(for those wondering why I didn't just use Zen for spamhaus, I wanted to double up the scores from the PBL (dynamic ips) and sbl-xbl. If in both lists then definitely fail, but if only in one or the other still set the score high so it will fail on any other check but allow for possible false positive avoidance.)
Anti-spam->SURBL servers
------------------------
multi.surbl.org | Rejected by surbl.org | 2
Anti-spam->Greylisting
----------------------
Defer = 7
Remove un-used = 2
Remove used = 72
Bypass on spf/mx/a unticked

Re: Spam Settings
Hi
Maybe this can be used: http://www.jam-software.com/spamassassin
It run nice on my win server.
1) Install
2) Load spamd as a win32 service (I use http://www.firedaemon.com) but SC.exe can be used as well.
3) Config HM
-Done-

Re: Spam Settings
The amount of spam I get per day has reduced from about 1500 to 1 or 2 per day
Fantastic!
All legitimate mail seems to come through just fine!
