Is my SpamBlocker working?

[Jensemann]

I've just upgraded to SB 3. But I still get 3-5 spam mails every hour. The same as earlier. Is it working, or is it normal that this amount of spam will pass through the filters? I've remembered to download exim.pl as well.

My main concern is that the dns lists are not configured correctly. Included is my pretty plain exim.conf file.

Have you enabled RBLs on your server?

Jensemann,

SpamBlocker3 may or may not catch more spam than older versions. On one of my servers (I just checked) it found and rejected 214,063 emails during the seven days ending at 4 AM on December 30th. During that week we got no notifications of false positives.

Of course... I haven't done that. And my partner that set up the server in the first place never did that either. No wonder that spam kept rolling in.

I've checked the exim logs, and it blocks a lot of spam already.

Thanks.

Jeff:
It seems to work perfect then.

Thanks for a great script/config file!

I try To enable RBL blocking:

Login as root, run the following:

cd /etc/virtual
rm -f use_rbl_domains
ln -s domains use_rbl_domains

Ok now i have an error when im sending mail to yahoo , the error is :

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

It looks to me like your server's IP has been blacklisted by Spamhaus. You should be able to remove you IP by going to the following Web site:

http://www.spamhaus.org/pbl/index.lasso

Hy and TNX,

I try this, the funy think is this :

MY-SERVER-IP is not listed in the SBL

MY-SERVER-IP is not listed in the PBL

MY-SERVER-IP is not listed in the XBL

:) any sugestion?

Eduard.

If your server IP isn't listed but Yahoo tells you it is, you'll have to take the issue up with the Yahoo postmaster.
