2.0.91 & SPAM White / Blacklist [SOLVED]

[moshari_3]

Hi,

I think I misunderstood the survey posted about White/Blacklists.
I thought you were talking about removing the feature of adding recipients email address automatically to the whitelist when sending an email to them.

I didn't realise you were talking about removing the list completely so even a manual addition the the list would be excluded.
This has now made it impossible for me to receive email from my employer for example unless I turn the score up so high everything gets through or turn the SPAM Filter off.

Any chance of getting this back or telling me how to get it woring again.

Regards Moshari.

Hi Moshari!

The Black- and Whitelist is still in Copfilter! I made only adjustments for using shortcircuit function from spamassassin!
I added the shortcircuit header to the spamresult, if you open a mail and show it in raw format! Check spamd.log, if you can see any shortcircuit messages.

Black- and Whitelist should work!
I had toyed with the idea, to remove the mail command mode, to add and remove Black- and Whitelist handling. But I didn't

The only thing, I've done, I added a network check for the mail command mode, to check, where the mail comes from! If this does not work, please report!

So we find a solution for your problem

Hi Kare,

Sorry to be a pain with this.
I actually only want to be able to manualy add to the white / black list & never turn the auto add from sent emails on.
Seems that the install I downloaded is missing code to handle the black listed emails.
I have looked through the code in mailscanner.sh and a lot of code for black & white list seems to be missing compared the v2.0.90 version.
Also when I click on the links to edit the white or black list I get this displayed in the browser:

Error!
Your settings file could not be found.

The file ****/cgi-bin/cp_spam_whitelist/index.php is actually there but not sure where the settings file or white/black list file is.

I can post the missing content of mailscanner.sh or send you both versions of the file if you want to compare.

I will have a look at the next spamed email & see what I can find for your shortcut message.

EDIT: I had a look at the raw info from a quarantined email.
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=15.5 required=9.0 tests=DCC_CHECK,
FREEMAIL_ENVFROM_END_DIGIT,FREEMAIL_FROM,HTML_MESSAGE,RDNS_NONE,SPF_FAIL
shortcircuit=no autolearn=disabled version=3.3.2

This was in the spamd.log:
Sat Jan 14 19:19:32 2012 [11873] info: spamd: identified spam (15.5/9.0) for filter:1001 in 32.7 seconds, 3645 bytes.
Sat Jan 14 19:19:32 2012 [11873] info: spamd: result: Y 15 - DCC_CHECK,FREEMAIL_ENVFROM_END_DIGIT,FREEMAIL_FROM,HTML_MESSAGE,RDNS_NONE,SPF_FAIL scantime=32.7,size=3645,user=filter,uid=1001,required_score=9.0,rhost=localhost,raddr=127.0.0.1,rport=38595,mid=<2fe017e4.d0c3.134db3207a2.Coremail.henry123@vip.163.com>,autolearn=disabled,shortcircuit=no
Sat Jan 14 19:19:32 2012 [11849] info: prefork: child states: II

Not sure what to do with this though.

It should be noted that this is a brand new clean install from start to end so no old files have been left behind & I have run the PHP update as well.

Regards Moshari.

Hi !

Seems that the install I downloaded is missing code to handle the black listed emails.
I have looked through the code in mailscanner.sh and a lot of code for black & white list seems to be missing compared the v2.0.90 version.

Completely all Code is missing, except the mail command mode. This is right and it's o.k.! Take a look in the local.cf config file at
/var/log/copfilter/default/opt/mail-spamassassin/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf in last section, you'll find the ifplugin shortciruit part uncommented.
Spamassassin is using good code to handle the black- and whitelists.

The black- and whitelist file self, you can find in /var/log/copfilter/default/etc/cp_spam_whitelist/local_webgui.cf
The local_webgui.cf is symlinked with the spamassassin etc dir and is parsed on starting spamd process. You can check this by typing following command on shell:

Code: Select all

/var/log/copfilter/default/opt/mail-spamassassin/default/bin/spamassassin -D --lint 2>&1 | less

and check for the line (it's one of the first 30 lines):

Code: Select all

[2940] dbg: config: read file /var/log/copfilter/default/opt/mail-spamassassin/etc/mail/spamassassin/local_webgui.cf

I don't know, which button you clicked, for managing the black- and whitelist's ? On all my test installations this was working fine
You had already meant the Copfilter Whitelist-Manager on Copfilter status page?

Open the httpd_error.log and you should find, what's going wrong and if there is anything missing!

O.k. I saw your edit and it seems, that all is running well. You only have to check the presence of local_webgui.cf file and it's content!
The default content on a fresh installed system:

Code: Select all

whitelist_from copfilter-announce@lists.sourceforge.net
whitelist_from copfilter@gmx.net
whitelist_from copfilter-main@lists.sourceforge.net

You're always able, to use the copfilter backup function! The black- and whitelists are included in the backup!

I hope, this helps!

regards

In addition: if a mail adress match with one, found in the local_webgui.cf, you'll see

Code: Select all

 spamd: result: . -100 - RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW,SHORTCIRCUIT,USER_IN_WHITELIST scantime=0.4,size=6580,user=filter,uid=1021,required_score=6.0,rhost=localhost,raddr=127.0.0.1,rport=46112,mid=<4F11B048.1010xxx@xxx-linux.de>,autolearn=disabled,shortcircuit=ham

in spamd.log

[karesmakro]

O.k. sorry!

It worked until the last version and I can reproduce the error!
I get a closer look and let you know the solution!

[karesmakro]

I found the problem and it's a permission problem!

type following command

Code: Select all

chmod 755 /var/log/copfilter/default/etc/cp_spam_whitelist
chmod 666 /var/log/copfilter/default/etc/cp_spam_whitelist/local_webgui.cf

sorry for that! I do not know how that happened

Thank you for reporting and the patience

[moshari_3]

Thanks Kare.

Problem solved.
Easy thing to miss, when I create a new user with scripts on Linux server at work it will sometimes mess up the owner & permissions on files & folders.
But only sometimes so all is forgiven.

Also my compliments on the work you have done with this I am very impressed.
Easy to install & configure - just read the notes.
Easy to use.

Again thanks so much for your help.

Regards Moshari.
