Subject: AutoWhiteList Force Delivery error
Posted: 05 January 2009 at 6:43pm

SFE 4.0.1.785
SQL SERVER 2000 STD
OS WIN 2KSVR SP4
 
We are subjected to domain forgery spam. months ago we successfully implemented SPF rules.
 
Now a lot of forged domains and accounts spam is passing SFE (eg. forgedaccount@forgeddomain to forgedaccount@forgeddomain) even if the SPF filter is enabled.
 
The log reported AutoWhiteList Force Delivery since in the autowhite list there was the rule *@MYDOMAIN | *@MYDOMAIN
 
Although useful to avoid intra domain false positive, we removed such a rule throuh SFE configuration control panel,  but forged mails keep to pass the filters (AutoWhiteList Force Delivery), even if the log reports SPF Fail and mail destinated to be quatantined.
 
Any idea?

If the "expire" field is set to "1", this marks the message to be deleted the next time SpamFilter performs a database purge. The "purge" removes from the database all messages that are older than your retention period (the "number of days to store quarantine rejected emails" value in the database configuration tab in SpamFilter). The database purge occurs by default every 60 minutes.]]> Tue, 30 Dec 2008 08:03:53 +0000 http://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=12547#12547 Spam Filter ISP Support : Table 'tblquarantine' details http://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=12546#12546 Author: suchi

ok.that is understood by me.
But what is the exact status of msg if 'deliver' field is set to '0' and 'expire' set to '1'...
I am bit confused about this.
 
Thanks in advance.

So Iphone users should choose PASSWORD as the authentication method, correct?]]> Wed, 24 Dec 2008 14:38:44 +0000 http://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6190&PID=12544#12544 Spam Filter ISP Support : iPhones and SMTP auth http://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6190&PID=12543#12543 Author: LogSat

It's one of the ones used by Apple, but not the only one. To be honest I can't be sure if they recently enabled a new AUTH extension or we got lucky in our tests and found one they do support... but it seems to work with both devices (iPhone v2.2 and Leopard OS X 10.5.6)]]> Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:43:10 +0000 http://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6190&PID=12543#12543 Spam Filter ISP Support : iPhones and SMTP auth http://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6190&PID=12542#12542 Author: WebGuyz

I thought CRAM-MD5 was what iphone used. Confused
 
I guess I'll just have to wait until I get a call (if I get call ;-) about someone asking how to get an Iphone or Mac box working for outgoing email by way of authentication thru the most current version.
 
Thanks!

Actually we didn't enable CRAM-MD5 support in SpamFilter, so everything is as it was. You can still use all previous authentication methods (Unix crypt, Active Directory with non-reversible encryption, etc), they are not affected by this new feature.]]> Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:02:51 +0000 http://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6190&PID=12541#12541 Spam Filter ISP Support : iPhones and SMTP auth http://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6190&PID=12540#12540 Author: WebGuyz

Most likely we will not be adding CRAM-MD5 support to SpamFilter. To use CRAM-MD5, SpamFilter should have access to the actual user's password.

This is not possible if using Unix's password files, and would require significantly lowering Active Directory's security by configuring it for reversible encryption for passwords (which could also require resetting all of the user's passwords). LDAP directories may support CRAM-MD5 authentication requests.
 
Roberto,
 
   We use Unix password file for authentication. Is this still true for the new version with CRAM-MD5 support? I don't have a Mac or Iphone to test with after loading the new version.
