Topic: E-smith's own antispam solution

[Steve]

David,

I am sure this can be the near perfect solution to spam. John seems very willing and able. Remember its still evolving.

I mailed John as he had introduced a small bug into .13 and he fixed in a flash. (remove a return on line 520 of assp.pl)

Its now pulled 735 spams out of almost 5000 email in 20 days and improving as i didnt seed it. Only an odd one has got by.

I am running it on an old 586 with 5.1.2 as root from command line at the moment with cron jobs for rebuildspam and update dnsbl. It should be easy to start from rc.local. My mail server is on another box with SME 5.6

I did it this way so it was impossible to screw up my existing set up.

Could someone help a newbie?
I have to automate assp, to start with sme, even with reboots or upgrades, how would it be?

I really dont know how to do it
need help with the scrips and/or templates
I have never write a script before, i just made the port 25 modification to port 125 , and seems to be ok

did someone got the reportspam thing working, my assp doesn't seem to be collecting mails from the reportspam account i've created
many thanks in advance

I installed Assp with 5.5 but it seems not working.
I changed /etc/services/smtp port to 125 and I configurate my email clients to use 125 to send mail. Assp suppose listen to port 25 but no banner appeared when I telnet it. I have tried to use my hotmail to send myself a test mail but it failed. My email client also failed to use port 125 to send mail too.
Can anyone give me some direction please?

[alejandro]

you should start assp, it seems not to be working
use "cd /yourassplocation/assp.pl " and then "perl assp.pl &"
Check with "telnet 127.0.0.1 25" to see your smtp response server through assp proxy

you can go to http://assp.sourceforge.net  phorums and faqs
as our last three messages could be a little off side from the meaning of this thread

Mmmm, interesting. But this template change doesn't affect Mailfront.

[KeVin M]

Looks nice and I can get it going under sendmail . Have tried editing the  template mentioned a few reposnes ago but no effect on changing the port (using SME5.6).

I have hunted through  livingwithqmail.org and a number of other internet searches. Those sources refer to config files that don't exist in the SME environment.

Does anyine have it working under SME5.6 - if so how did you get the port changed?

Help appreciated, regards
kevin

Hmm,

Answer my own query. after expanding the templates and restarting *several times*  it now works.
