NoBaloney Internet Svcs - In Memoriam †
Edited 06-Sept-2009:
Edited today to add a feature to the list which i forgot to post yesterday. New features and changes are shown below in bold. I don't guarantee I've found everything .
The latest Release Candidate of the NoBaloney SpamBlocker TechnologyTM exim.conf file is now ready for testing. I'm testing it on one server today, and on all our shared servers tomorrow.
I hope you'll join me in testing it as well; I'm hoping that it's close to the final code which I'll release soon.
Here are some changes and additions to this version of SpamBlocker:
Version 3 of the NoBaloney SpamBlocker TechnologyTM exim.conf file (and all future versions) only supports DirectAdmin servers running Maildir (and therefore, Dovecot).
By default ClamAV is implemented in code but commented out.
By default SpamAssassin is implemented in code but commented out.
By default sender verification is not required; it's commented out.
These new additions have been tested only a short time, but I'd like some input on how well they work for you:
New code has been included to deny Mailer-Daemon messages unless they're for domains for which we host mail. This should get rid of at least some collateral spam.
New code has been included to deny all email where "helo" is not a fully qualified domain name, unless sender is authenticated.
Vacation and Autoresponder code has been modified to not reply to mail from the following senders:
The acl_check_helo acl has been added to deny all incoming email which pretends to be from your own hostname. Note that this will only work if you've taken out the hostname and IP# currently in the code and added yours. Some downloads may keep you from getting emails from me, as earlier uploads may have my server in the code. Note that the wrong name/IP# won't break exim; it will just break the test for whether or not someone is pretending to be you.
The new release candidate may be downloaded here.
