Topic: Swerts-knudsen downloads disabled

[Knuddi]

Due to to much load on contribs.org (170.000 hits over 3 days) all download for swerts-knudsen contribs (Antivirus and Spamfilter) have been disabled by contribs.org.

This mean that the automatic updates will properly report errors once a day for all users.

Unfortunately a new package is needed to change update mirror away from contribs.org.

I will see what I can do but do not expect any fix before early next week.

Installation has also been disabled in the mean time.

Sorry for this.

[Knuddi]

UPDATE:
The clamav update (0.87.1) has been removed for the time being and awaits you all to have been autoupdated with the new sme-antivirus package which has been updated to use a update mirror (ibilibo.org) and away from contribs.org.

The installations scripts have been re-enabled and are now pointing to same new mirror.

Expect an update to e-smith-USA one of the next days to point to a new update mirror as well.

The good news is that the new mirror is very fast and you should no longer wait days for a complete updated package.

Thanks Knuddi, for all the good work you do for us....

The installations scripts have been re-enabled and are now pointing to same new mirror.

Does that mean that we should download and run the new install scripts to get things right?

170.000 hits over 3 days.

Knuddi, are you able to provide a rough estimate of the number of servers using your excellent clamav scripts?

The 170.000 hits were for both the spamfilter and the antivirus installations. I could ask Gordon who provided this info for a more detailed statistics. My guess would be that the ratio is close to 50/50 meaning that 170.000/2/3 ~ 30.000 should be the amount of installations. This is actually quite a bit more than what I had expected I have to admit. I though that it would be in the range of 5000-6000.

All,

The various placed have now been updated and all you need to do is to update the sme-antivirus package. This can be done manually via the new update location:

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/swerts-knudsen/AntiVirus/sme-antivirus-1.4.5-1.noarch.rpm

Moderators should make this sticky!!!
Contribs.org stays as slow as it was...specially on weekends.

[Knuddi]

As many might have noticed then the e-smith-USA (automatic SpamAssassin updater) has now also been released ensuring that future check and updates comes from the new mirror. I case you are in doubt whether you have this update you can manually install via:

#rpm -Uvh http://sme.swerts-knudsen.com/downloads/SpamFilter/e-smith-USA-0.4.4-1.noarch.rpm

So far ~1000 servers have been update with the new Antivirus package and ~2700 with the new USA package.

Thanks on behalf of contribs.org

Has anyone noticed the following line in maillog (vs6) which has appeared since upgrading with latest rpm (e-smith-USA-0.4.4-1.noarch.rpm):

Is this an issue?
Spams are being blocked OK anyway (';-)')

This is not related to USA but Spamassassin 3.1.0. You can fix this by commenting out the the following line in file /etc/mail/spamassassin/init.pre

# loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin:SPF

[chris burnat]

Many thanks Jesper.

As an alternativ you could install
http://www.quantumlinux.com/~kevin/rpmpan/rpm/perl-Mail-SPF-Query-1.997-8.noarch.rpm

[Curly]

The installation worked for me, but I also needed Sys/Hostname/Long.pm . I found that one in the same directory:
http://www.quantumlinux.com/~kevin/rpmpan/rpm/perl-Sys-Hostname-Long-1.2-8.noarch.rpm

[mrjhb3]

Has running the SPF plug-in with the additional perl modules had any negative effects?

Thanks,

JB

I don't see any negative effects. The SPF check works, i can see that in the mail-headers of some rejected mails:

Code: [Select]


 1.4 SPF_SOFTFAIL           SPF: sender does not match SPF record (softfail)
[SPF failed: Please see http://spf.pobox.com/why.html?sender=huhewshkzfxrvi%40hotmail.com&ip=24.16.251.14&receiver=my.hostname.com]
 2.4 SPF_HELO_SOFTFAIL      SPF: HELO does not match SPF record (softfail)
[SPF failed: Please see http://spf.pobox.com/why.html?sender=huhewshkzfxrvi%40hotmail.com&ip=24.16.251.14&receiver=my.hostname.com]

The checking will cost some extra CPU, but I receive a small amount of mail so it's not noticable.
