As of recently I've started receiving IM messages on one of my windows messenger accounts that I'm using with Pidgin that appear to be coming from certain contacts that have already been blocked. The messages are spam with a link to [URL]. Most probably there is something wrong with my security settings.
View 2 RepliesI'm setting up email gateway using Postfix, Amavisd-new, ClamAV and SpamAssassin on Opensuse 11.1. Everything seems okie, but I can't have messages with added spam headers, such as:
X-Spam-Flag: NO
X-Spam-Score: 0.233
X-Spam-Level:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.233 tagged_above=-10 required=6.6
tests=[ALL_TRUSTED=-1.8, AWL=0.536, BAYES_50=0.001,]
When I try to debug amavis, I can see that SPAM-TAG, <abc@yahoo.com> -> <celeron@domain.com>, No, score=5.406 tagged_above=-999 required=6.2 tests=[LOCAL_DRUG=4, NO_DNS_FOR_FROM=1.407, NO_RELAYS=-0.001] but they don't add to email messages. I've configured amavisd-new with $sa_tag_level_deflt = -999 to add spam headers at all but not successful.
I've been using Pidgin Facebook protocol (XMPP) and I've found that i'm not receiving some incoming chats in Pidgin, but if I open up a browser and log in to FB then they are there.
any idea what i should do about it? Running ubuntu 11.04 and pidgin that comes in the repository
I am using the Skype-Pidgin integration on Lucid. Calls work fine and I can send messages from Pidgin. But incoming messages don't get through to Pidgin -- instead I get an alert from Skype and I have to open up the Skype conversation window to see them.
The versions I have installed are:
pidgin : 1:2.6.6-1ubuntu4.3
pidgin-skype: 20100121+dfsg-1
skype: 2.2.0.25-1lucid1
I know Pidgin doesn't have an option to send group messages. I've been searching for some plugin from a third part, found something for Debian, but nothing for Fedora/Redhat. Does anyone know here a working plugin for this problem?

[URL]
I am using CentOS 5.3. I was half way through that and got an email that had ***SPAM*** in the subject. Haven't received any more. First of all I want to know if spam will still get delivered, and just have a modified subject. Second, I want to know how to set it up so Spam goes to a user's spam mailbox (Virtual Users). And third of all, is it possible to disable spam filtering on a user basis, preferably using MySQL tables? Is it possible for users to mark a message as spam, and all further messages sent from that address will be sent to spam folder but only for that user?
EDIT: Yes spam is getting delivered with a modified header, on the server site, how can i deliver to spam folder? how to create IMAP virtual mailboxes on request without having to send an email to them first? Using virtual users with Courier Imap
I currently have the following email server set up:
Postfix with mysql backend
Dovecot
clamav
spamassassin
amavisd
And it all works great. However I would like it for amavisd to forward all the marked spam into a folder on each user account, but I cannot figure this out.
I have a Kubuntu 10.10 install on which I can't update my packages due to some fail conflict between pidgin and pidgin-facebookchat. I can't even remove the stuff via apt-get due to this conflict...
sudo apt-get remove pidgin
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

I am using Ubuntu 9.04. After doing sudo apt-get update When I try to insatll pidgin via terminal it shows: XXX@XXX-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install pidgin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: pidgin: Depends: libpurple0 (>= 1:2.6.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: perl (>= 5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1) but 5.10.0-19ubuntu1 is to be installed E: Broken packages
Previously after doing aptitude upgrade, my pidgin seems broken with no gui shown. So I decided to download the latest source from pidgin website and build it from source, but I think I made situation worse because it then complained that ssl lib was needed. Then I removed the libpurple (e.g. aptitude purge libpurple0 libpurple-bin libpurple-dev) and reinstalled pidgin (aptitude install pidgin). Now it shows the error
pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: purple_media_element_info_get_type
I searched on the internet and can not find a solution. The clues on the internet says that's because the piding I use is the older version of libpurple. But I think I've removed all with purge and reinstalled it. Maybe some legacy binary is referenced. What or where it might be? Or where there may contain related information.
I have a syslog-ng running and kernel build of 2.6.34.8 I use a syslog API in my program with facility LOG_LOCAL5 and and levels debug err and crit and info. when I ran on the older syslog facility I had everything logged fine as I intended. now I have written these rules into the syslog-ng.conf:
options {
flush_lines (0);
time_reopen (10);
log_fifo_size (1000);
[code]....
the last two rules show my program gnssapp. the result is all debug levels or crit or err levels I don't see any of them !
More than 7 G bytes were logged to the messages file last three weeks I got this message in /var/log/messages I want to stop this messaging cause it takes to much space

We have a vpn that is accessible to anyone. We already block port 25, 587 and 465. But I am still receiving spam reports. I believe that the users of my vpn is infected by a virus or something that sends spam. Are there any other ways that spammer send spam mails without using the smtp ports?
My guess is that they are trying to send it by accessing a webmail. Have you heard of anything like that? how to block spam?
I use Debian Jessie + KMail on desktop side. My mail server has Spamassassin installed. My problem is that I receive some spam and it goes though the server-side filtering.
I mark all messages as SPAM in KMail but neither KMail or the server learn that those are spam and should not enter the inbox.
How to get rid of the messages? Unsubscribing is not an option - I don't want to click on any link contained in the mails.
When something comes in that gets sent straight to my junk mail folder, a notification STILL pops up... Also of note, I would like to stop notifications for my RSS feeds... I love my RSS feeds but this is ridiculous.

We have a spam in our network and we installed antivirus in all our systems and cleaned the virus from all pc's after that i had removed my ip from the database of blocked ip's but still my ip is blocked for sending spam i don't know from which pc the spam is going on the internet.
so i have a question that my proxy server is redhat linux and as a newbie i don't know the command's to find out which pc is creating large bandwidth to the internet. If you tell the command how to see which pc is sending spam then i will discard that pc. Also i want a strong firewall to stop spam activities.
i have big problem see the message below

Does anyone know how to block spam in the messenger Empathy? In my case it got to a level where I consider it as very annoying.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI, as many here, have friends on different IM accounts (and btw, so great that we have pidgin and empathy and not have to deal with 3 different softwares to talk to them) and of all that I have... which are not so many... one of them sends me spam, not all the time, but it happens and I kind of feel sorry for her so I'd like to see if there's a way for her to retake control of her account or if she can't do anything at all with it.
I have other friends in MSN but I get spam only from her and she's given up on how to fix it cause she doesnt know how to. I did a search (and keep looking for more in the web) and so far it doenst look promising (but is also because I dont know what else to do). The problem is I get messages which I know for sure are spam, cause her english is more limited and the messages are very polished in that regard.
I got this from another discussion elsewhere: "troutbot = These bots get your IM from scraping the Internet screenname and connect you randomly to someone else. While you're talking to the troutbot, they're just an intermediary connecting you to some other guy who also had his IM scraped." So far the times I get spam... the other side never answers, but if my friend is online she can. I thought that on these IM services... if you are logged in nobody else can log in with your username/password...
1.Have installed ubuntu 10.04 on 2 pc's both run xp on 1 pc boot up selects xp the other selects ubuntu as the first choice. Why?
2.How do I uninstall ubuntu, and what effect will it have on xp ( both imported xp documents and settings ).
3.Do I need an antivirus or spam/malware filter?
I had setup postfix and spam assassin, and in my environment, I forward the incoming email to my exchange server.
Everything works now, in my mail box, I can receive the email with subject ******SPAM*****. but is there a solution, when spam assassin finished the scan and mark spam, if the score is very high, may be stop to forward it to exchange, for example, send it to a special email box?

I thought that someone running any script so I disconnect all my LAN connection (simply removed the local lan cable) but I saw the connections is going on....so I watch the processes on proxy server but nothing suspicious....So I change my static IP and the spamming stops (I say it is spam b'coz the IP 203.188.197.10 is of yahoomail.com ) but I when I am putting my OLD ip back the connection starts again......I want to put back my old static IP b'coz I have configured it for many services. Is there any spyware on my machine or someone configured my IP?
We operate a small ISP and are currently using a debian distro as our gateway server.Recently we have had an increased number of spam issues with customers (not them sending it directly, rather the customer getting infected with a virus/malware and then their computer becoming a bot).I'd like to set up another gateway of sorts to sit after our authentication gateway but before our backbone to provide spam filtering (and hopefully virus filtering) for any traffic passing through which might be email.I've tried searching for any linux based software which would suit, but I'm coming up empty.
Surely there's something already out there which can perform this task.Finally, just to clarify, I'm not talking about spam filtering for email accounts we host ourselves (this is built into our mail server); I'm talking about spam originating from customers PC's which is passing through our gateway (but not our mail server).
I need to implement a form of filtering. Current topology is like so:
Internet -> Smoothwall -> MS Exchange server (w/ OWA) -> Clients
So I need to enable transparent spam filtering on the smoothwall system, which is a full fledged Linux system. There are no 'free' modules available for smoothwall that enable spam filtering. And due to the monetary constraints of the project I'm working on, something free is required.
I don't have any experience with this - I've done a couple of searches and came up with "SpamAssasin", but I can't find any relevant guides that allow transparent scanning - they all assume the mail is stored on THAT server.
So I'm here to ask the more experienced people what sort of packages will enable this functionality? Would like something that has a WebUI, but that's not absolutely necessary.
My postfix server has been working great for the last 1-2 years. Lately the number of spams encreased (from 1-2 every day to aprox 8-10 every day per domain for some domains ).I post here the output of postconf -n. Maybe someone gives me some advices about what cat I change or how can I optimize. I must recognise that I don't fully understand details of how postfix and all the restrictions works together, but I will document every advice.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy client has finally had enough of being attacked via SPAM/Viruses and having his single email account for his company being destroyed. Since it is a single account and he does not want to add additional accounts or create a new one(mail is hosted by ISP), I wanted to ask the forum on their opinion on using Fetchmail to download the POP3 mail and having it piped through SMAM Assassion or DSpam and or CLAM_AV or F-PROT. In addition to that I am going to use a corporate strength anti-virus such as F-prot(Been using for years) and really put this email through a microscope. I also was thinking of just blocking out all domains other than his clients list of domains so in other words block all and allow just the domains that we know are valid and are only from his clients. It is super restrictive but what I believe will end his issue.

Which method of spam reporting do the moderators prefer?
Using the spam reporting thread? Using the "Report this post" button? Or both?
