SpamAssassin Rating high but Mail-Spam-Filter doesn't catch it
I have SpamAssassin running on my Mail-Server and Mail set to trust the server-side-spam-filter (And as Apple states SpamAssassin is compatible (even used in OS X Server)).
Most Spam gets crunched but I have some that I get over and over again although the SpamAssassin rating is set and often even above 9.
Can I somehow make Mail more sensitive to the rating?
(I don't want to use a custom rule to sort it because then the new mail sound will play for any spam as well.)
No, it doesn’t make sense. You may want to read Mail Help’s “Automatically processing email” article to better understand how rules work in Mail.
the rules operate before the messages are placed in any mailbox
Rules are fully applied to each message, one at a time, in the order they appear in the list. How could it be otherwise? What you say doesn’t make sense to me...
What I should have also suggested is 'stop evaluating rules' on the first rule
That would be redundant and useless. Mail stops evaluating rules for messages moved to another mailbox by a preceding rule.
Rule 2 exists only to make the sound
Problem is, it would also play the sound for junk messages not caught by the first rule.
I suggested 'To includes @' to catch all mail not filtered out by rule 1
Not sure what you mean. If you want the second rule to be applied to every message not caught by the first rule, there is an Every message condition for that.
perhaps move to inbox isn't necessary?
Not only is it unnecessary. As I said, it might cause an infinite loop that Mail cannot handle properly.
This way the spam won't trigger the sound but everything else will.
And that’s precisely part of the problem, that everything else, including junk mail caught by the built-in junk filter (which is applied after all the other rules), will trigger the sound...

spam filter works fine BUT: it marks my outgoing mails as spams. What can I do, I´m afraid on other servers my mails will be rejected. All settings in my mail preferences concern incoming mails, I didn´t find a way do change behaviour for outgoing mails.
Anyone knows about this?
ThanksThis is my problem as well. I was noticing some problems with Mail not picking up some junk and so I reset and went back to Train. Now I've been training for about a week and every mail I send gets marked as junk, eventhough I continually remark it. Any suggestions? Thank!

Email SPAM filter doesn't work
Is the webmail SPAM filter supposed to ... like ... prevent SPAM? I get the same SPAM every day. The SPAM button does nothing,
I have been marking about 30 per day as spam and forwarding all of them to the address that Verizon says is for undetected spam. The spam I get is all from the same outfit, I believe, based on the uniformity of how they package their notes and the fact that all of the links are spoofed. One would think that after 30 a day for several months, somebody in Verizon would wake up to the fact that Verizon users are getting killed with spam. One would think that if they truly cared about our email experience they would have an army of folks jumping on the spam we forward to them, aggressively pursuing it and working to reduce it. The fact is that they show no evidence of putting forth ANY effort at making our experience better.
The fact seems to be that they have little concern for their email users. The more of us that stick with Verizon for our home internet service, paying them their monthly fee, but jump to other, better email providers merely means less work for them. Not a bad model for making maximum profit, but a sucky way to treat customers.
My Verizon Wireless service has been fantastic. But my Verizon phone/internet service sucks. I'm just waiting until another provider is available in my area so I can leave Verizon forever. Lousy support, uncaring employees. I send in notes to them and get zero response. Look at the complaints in these forums that continue to rack up. Almost no response from the company. We're all left to try to deal with our problems ourselves with only minimal support. Probably some intern that spends his/her shift playing Angry Birds. -
User Participation -- Collaborative e-Mail SPAM Filter -- ??Possible??
Mail...I like it...can't wait until Leopard is released to get easy to use HTML templates. This is not my point.
I am curious about SPAM. Is there some way that Mail can have a button...like a Junk button for instance that tells not only my system that a particular e-mail is junk BUT will go out to other Mail users and tell their system that an offending e-mail is Junk too.
There could be some sort of algorhythm/classification system so that an e-mail could have the chance to defend itself based on content. But an offending e-mail that we all tag as Junk would be automatically removed from all of our inboxes without us even seeing the **** thing.
I would love this. If I see another viagra ad, lottery winning, bank scheme, ***** enlargement, etc. e-Mail...I think I'll just forget e-mail altogether and go back to snail mail. SPAM e-Mail exhausts, enfuriates and takes up bandwith. Please, Apple engineers...let Mail users work together to eliminate SPAM. Maybe a few of us will have to read these things...but together we can eliminate much of this stuff.
Is this possible? Or better yet...is it available now?
Peace to you all.

I need a more effective spam filter
I've been using procmail and http://www.spambouncer.org/ to sort my mailing list emails and filter spam. But the above filters haven't been updated since April 16th, and a lot of stuff is getting through. My Apple Mail.app filter doesn't catch it, .mac doesn't filter it, etc. It is beginning to irk me, and I hate being irked.
I'd like to use something compatible with my current procmail filtering scheme, but am open to any suggestions. I run my own server.Bill,
Yes, you can, and manual training works. How to Train Bayes Without Logging In contains an example script - assumes standard Unix mboxes - to help you automate it.
I don't know of any plugins for Mail.app, but they could exist.
You can also create your own rules. There's an entire site dedicated to helping you find and create appropriate rules for SpamAssassin.

Mail spam filters and phishing
Yesterday's UK Sunday Times gave an email address to which sufferers were advised to forward bank phishing emails - it is, presumably, a bank sponsored site which allows them to try and trace and/or stem this ever increasing tide of spam.
Most of these bank phishing emails are caught by me ISP before I even get them, but several do make it into my spam folder or in-tray. If the latter, I mark them as spam manually.
If I were to forward the emails that do reach me (after being manually marked or automatically filtered as spam) to the suggested address, would that affect the "learning" process of my Apple Mail spam filter?
I can't think how it could and I'm keen to help the banks reduce this tiresome avalanche of rubbish (which seems to be increasing) but I don't want to confuse my filtering process.
Thanks.Thanks, mhunter, most helpful.
The article, for those interested, is about 2/3 the way down this page:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2097-2382411.html
and is entitled "Website that deals with dodgy emails".
The Bank Safe Online website is at
http://www.banksafeonline.org.uk
but, even though obviously UK orientated, it has some good generic advice which would be valid in other countries.
The email address to which UK victims can forward bank scam/phishing eMails (after they have been identified as spam of course is [email protected] -
Is there a Spam filter for Mail? In iOS 5?
I haven't seen this question posted for a couple of years, so I'm curious if iOS 4 has addressed my concern. Can Mail for iPod Touch 4th Generation be set up with some sort of spam filter? I have very good filters associated with my various email accounts at their servers (Gmail, GoDaddy, Earthlink) but all of these accounts pass the spam through to my iPod.
Will this be fixed in iOS 5?
And also ... why do some messages not offer the "Trash Can" icon, but only the multiple button option to "Move to>Trash"?
ThanksNo. iOS5 isn't out yet. We don't know what's in it. But likely there isn't.

Amavisd not running, mails not delivered when spam filter is enabled
Hey everyone,
So I've got a slight problem here with a 10.4.11 server. Our spam filter was set to be too tolerant of spam, allowing a threshold 22.0 before bouncing it, so through the command line I edited /etc/amavisd.conf to $sa_kill_level_deflt = 6.0; tag2 is set to 3.0. Then I bounced amavisd via:
sudo /bin/launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amavis.amavisd.plist
sudo /bin/launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amavis.amavisd.plist
Well that caused all sorts of whacky issues with the queue. The server couldn't connect to itself and wouldn't deliver any mail, only queue it up. So I went back in to amavisd.conf and changed the parameters back to default, then bounced amavisd again. To no avail. Then I restored from a backup file I had created and bounced amavisd again to no avail.
Finally I removed the junkmail and virus filters via SA, saved, then reenabled them to no avail. Then I just disabled them and mail is flowing again, but I still have 187 messages in my queue that wont get delivered no matter how many times I flush it.
After more research, I issued a ps -U clamav to see if amavisd is running, below are the only results I get:
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
1291 ?? Ss 0:00.01 freshclam -d -D -pfreshclam.pid -c 1
I would assume it is NOT running...? I next issued amavisd to see if it throws any errors, and get the following:
ERROR: MISSING REQUIRED BASIC MODULES:
MIME::Parser
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/amavisd line 139.
So my next question is how do I repair amavisd so I can get it to run so I can reenable the content filter. Here are the results of postconf in case you need them:

AndrewTo get the queue going, issue:

That said, I would think you initially introduced a typo in amavisd.conf. Next you probably restored amavisd and amavisd.conf files which were incompatible with each other and/or amavis incompatible with the updated perl modules of the latest security update.
To fix things, I would re-apply the latest combo updater and security updates (assuming you are running stock versions and have not installed your own versions of amavisd, etc).
If things still do not work, please post the output of:

SPAM filter setting for CRES secure e-mail
I am using Ironport strictly as an outgoing e-mail encryption engine. We use a different incoming spam filter (Barracuda). I would like to be able to go to the CRES site and send an encrypted message to our internal domain so users can establish their CRES credentials. However, the anti-spoofing rules on the Barracuda block the incoming mail because the domain it was from is our internal domain. I have whitelisted the mx-res.cisco.com address, 216.206.186.134, but I am still receiving block messages like below (I removed the actual e-mail address):
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator.
mx1.res.cisco.com #5.0.0 smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'Blocked\x00\x006' (delivery attempts: 0)
First of all, are there other IP addresses I should be whitelisting for Cisco RES outbound e-mail mail servers? What else do I need to do? I don't want to turn of the anti-spoofing, due to the spam we would receive.With the recent CRES upgrade IP address range used for mail delivery has changed. Please refer the below posting.

Barracuda spam filter not downloading mail to xserve - smtp problem?
Hi-
We just had to upgrade from 10.3 to 10.5 last week (a nightmare that seems to be continuing). We seem to be up and running but there is a weeks accumulation of mail on our barracuda spam filter thzt is not coming through plus any new e-amil from outside the network. Mail seems to be working okay from within the doman. I did a serveradmin check on mail and it is running. In looking through other posts I tried to telnet into the smtp port. I get a timeout when I try to connect from another machine. When I try through localhost I get:
sh-3.2# telnet localhost smtp
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Can't assign requested address
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Can't assign requested address
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 xserve.testeq.com ESMTP Postfix
quit
221 2.0.0 Bye
The mail.log file does show that the Barracuda is connecting but possibly intermitently?
Of course there could be another problem involved but does anyone have an idea of what may be happening?
Thanks,

Any ideas as to why this should be happening?Okay - I found a problem with /private/anvil, added anvil line to master.cf and then ran the /etc/postfix/post-install script - Are there any other post install scripts that no one saw fit to put in the documentation that need to run?
I can now connect to the smtp port from another machine. I still get the above errors when I connect to localhost (but it does connect, I forgot to mention above). Still no sign of the weeks worth of mail backed up on the barracuda... -
No mail arrived to 10.6.6 Mail Server after enabling "zen.spamhaus.org" spam filter. I can send to any, but receive only from local domain. And after disabling the filter, I can receive smoothly from all domain. My server is not blacklisted and it's firewall working correctly.

Can you find a solution to this.Hi Dave,
Following are the detailed steps to uninstall Anti-Spam:
Close the EMC (Exchange Management Console).
Open the PowerShell and navigate using the following path: "Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts".
Run the "uninstall-AntispamAgents.ps1" script as shown in window (with ./ before the script name) below:
Note: You will be prompt to disable and then uninstall each agent of the Anti-spam system like the Connection filtering, content filter, Sender filtering etc.
Restart the "Microsoft Exchange Transport" service in order to apply configuration changes.
Open the Exchange Management Console, and on the Organization configuration list, select
Hub Transport. You will see that the "Anti-Spam" tab has been removed from the Hub Transport properties.
I suggest double check whether you have re-start the Transport service.

Need help setting up the Spam Filter in Mail
Hi,
I tried so many times to set up my Spam filter in Mac OS Mail, without any success so far. Basically, I have 2 email accounts in Mail, one of them should only let mails through which have "Webmessage from" in their title. So I added the following rule in the Options (translated from German): 'Subject doesn't contain Webmessage from'. Additionally I also added 'Email is Advertisement' and I used 'fulfilling one of the following rules'. What this does, it it filters EVERYTHING and throws it into the junk. I also tried with other rules, as for example 'Sender is in previous receiver' and 'Email is not adressed to my full name', ... Mail just filter everything, everytime or nothing at all.
Can somebody please help me?When you set up a mail filter, you can have multiple conditions before an action is taken. So, for example, if you want a rule to apply to one email address, set up the first condition where the 'to' is equal to the email address you want filtered. Click the plus sign next to it, and add the 'subject doesn't contain Webmessge from' condition. Above the 2 conditions, check 'all' of the following conditions. Then under perform the following actions, add two rules, one mark as read, and two move to junk or trash or wherever. That way, since it's marked as read, you never see it in any unread mail counts.

Is there a limit to number of conditions I can set in Mail's spam filter?
There seems to be a limit to the amount of conditions I can set in Mail's spam filter. ie there's no scroll bar down the side - the list just goes as long as my computer monitor's length will allow, and that's it.
Is that right - or is there a way to set more than about 28 conditions (in my case).Tim,
yes, you can add more conditions (I don't know whether this is a limit or not) using AppleScript - the problem with the approach is that you will have somewhat of a hard time editing the rule in Mail after that as the buttons at the bottom of the window will no longer be accessible...
Look at the following AppleScript as an example on how to add a new condition to a rule called "Junk Rule"
Click to open this script in your Script Editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:500px">tell application "Mail"
tell rule "Junk Rule"
set theNewCondition to make new rule condition at end of rule conditions
tell theNewCondition
set rule type to subject header
set expression to "viagra"
set qualifier to does contain value
end tell
end tell
end tell</pre>

hi,
How do you manage mail spam filtering?
I've read about junk training and all but I can't seem to find it on my mail program.
Thank you
SantoHi
A good place to start would be here:
http://osx.topicdesk.com/
I have no affiliation with the site. However it's fantastic resource (sincere thanks to Alex and the guys) for OSX Server's Mail Service. Amazingly the tutorials are free! Leave a donation if you are able. You could also search this forum as well as the one for 10.4 and earlier. Spam training has been mentioned many times.
It's possible to limit Spam as well as improve performance by configuring the Service using these instructions:

Here is the best smap filter for mail:
http://c-command.com/spamsieve/
I don't know why Apple don't buy that company and include the spam filter on mail, that would be great because spam is getting worst every day, and people than don't buy this type of spam filters need to delete a lot of spam mails every day.The Junk Mail filter included with the Mail.app has always worked very well for me, and IMO, a good deal of the responsibility for filtering spam in the first place and where it arrives initially, lies with the email account provider for an email account - with adequate filtering performed at the incoming mail server.
This and taking some precautions with an email address shouldn't require having to purchase a spam filter from a 3rd party for the email client used to access an account.
