ASSP Anti-spam
Jun 14, 2008I am interested in ASSP as a anti-spam tool and have heard good things, but I have 1 question I can't seem to find an answer too.
With ASSP is there a way to screen image spam like you can with FuzzyOCR? With ASSP do you even need to scan images at all? Because it waits for the sending server to respond for authentication?
I was running MailScanner / SpamAssasin / FuzzyOCR combo with a couple of chron jobs (to sweep fake bounce email out of the mail que for example) with very effective results, but it took forever to tweak all three to reduce server load. MailScanner was breaking webmail randomly so I have it disabled currently so I get a lot more spam.

Mar 9, 2007I tried to understand ASSP by searching in your documentation but nowhere it mentions that when we use a mail client programs. For example:
I install ASSP correctly. I start it. Actually, our spam database is empty. From my understanding, ASSP still let spams and non spams e-mails go through to build its database.
My question is:
Is there a way to know our first 400 or 1000 e-mails are spams in despite to categorize them properly?
How to categorize them on our server when we use Kmail or Outlook to download e-mails from the server?
If I create two folders: spam and nonspam in Outlook or Kmail and move the e-mails to the prosper folders, will it be synchronized with the server automatically?

ASSP X No Good
Jul 16, 2008My host seem to like interfering with spam setting on the server. They had spamassasin installed which works perfectly and i haven't been getting any spam when i enable the software.
All of a sudden all my subscription and a lot of email is rejected and now perfectly legit email is marked as spam.
I fail to understand why use software that reject normal mail.
ASSP With Plesk
Jul 16, 2007I have been running ASSP for a long time on a Fedora/Postfix box without a single problem. Recently, however, I have acquired a CentOS/Plesk/Qmail machine and I am having a terrible time getting ASSP to play nicely with qmail.
I am attempting to follow the directions on the assp wiki regarding plesk. I changed qmail to listen on 125 instead of 25 by editing /etc/services. I then restarted everything but it then appeared that mail was going through without authentication. I was successfully able to send mail from an internal address to an external one without a problem, but I think I was able to do so without authenticating myself.
However, when attempting to send mail from an outside address to an internal one, I get a relay denied error message. Obviously ASSP isn't aware of the addresses I have set up on the system.
Also - I attempted to manually run the sh scripts downloaded from the wiki entry, but I kept getting the error message that I couldn't execute binary file, even though I gave the file execute permissions. I even tried adding #!/bin/sh to the top of the file, to no avail....
If anyone has successfully installed assp with Plesk and has authentication and the plesk automation scripts running like they should, please let me know how you did it.
Right now this machine is processing about 3000 emails a day, 90% of which are spam, so I really need to get ASSP installed and running here.

Horde IMP Webmail / ASSP
Mar 25, 2009I have a Windows 2003 server running Plesk 8.3, Mailenable with Horde IMP webmail client. I have installed Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy (ASSP) [url] on my server to counter SPAM.
I have configured it with the instructions found here - [url]This configuration works perfectly apart from one issue - whenever I try to send emails from my Horde IMP webmail interface, I get an error saying "unable to set sender to [emailaccount at domain]".
If I deactivate ASSP everything works fine.
I believe this is not an issue with ASSP since no one's complaining on ASSP forums. I posted this issue there and someone suggested it had something to do with how Horde IMP tries to send emails. I posted this to Horde's mailing list too but no one ever answered.
ASSP Install Issues.
Mar 13, 2007I followed the tutorial provided here for installing ASSP but am running into a small problem with exim failing on my vps. I am using ConfigServers csf and lfd and didn't know if there was more modifications needed for ASSP.
my exim panic log shows this:
2007-03-12 00:19:39 socket bind() to port 125 for address 127.0.0.1 failed:
Address already in use: daemon abandoned
I think that it may have to be my exim.conf or assp.cfg, but both read the same.
Exim.conf
local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1.125
Assp.cfg
smtpDestination:=127.0.0.1:125

Jan 13, 2009We have been more than 2 years with Liquidweb. Yes, great machine and datacenter. We were using spamassasin as bundled software on cpanel to fight with spammer, but it was not good enough.
1 year ago we decided to install ASSP Deluxe antispam on our dedicated server, bought from grscripts.com. Its powerful software against the spammer which succesfuly isolate them on a separate folder/email. And our clients happy working on emailing activity.
But in the early of 2009, liquidweb has terminated the software as it's not match with their TOS. Its a weird policy since we installed it 1 year ago.
Honestly, we want to keep you (liquidweb) as our valuable datacenter, but we need solution to keep running a business and stay alive on it. Otherwise we have no choice to migrate our dedicated server (consume a lot of time and energy).
ASSP Is Getting Filled Up With @*.de Email Addresses
Mar 12, 2008Every week or so, my whitelist in ASSP is getting filled up with @*.de email addresses. Coincidentally, at that same time, I start receiving massive amounts of spam because those addresses are whitelisted.
Has anyone ever had this happen to them? The list of addresses is the same every time it happens, but it really worries me that somehow my whitelist is getting modified without my permission. The assp web interface is disabled (blocked at the firewall) because I update the configuration by just editing the files. SSH access is completely disabled, save for key authentication...So my thoughts are that somehow, an external address is able to modify my whitelist...somehow.
Does anyone have any thoughts or troubleshooting ideas for me?

How Do I Dis-regard None English E-mails Using ASSP

Howto: ASSP Installation In CPanel
Jan 29, 2007What is ASSP? ASSP is an Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy . The homepage can be found here. ASSP is a lightweight daemon that can filter mail based on various things such as SPF, RBLs, Bayesian word lists, as well as blocking email addresses from getting mail, or having mail filtered.
This tutorial will walk you through getting the admin interface for CPanel setup for ASSP. Currently, a paid user interface can be obtained here (note that I am in no way affiliated with, nor have I tried to use this UI, I am just offering the link to those that might find it useful)
Firstly, the setup:
You will need to activate Cpanel PRO (pro.cpanel.net/activate) for your server in order for this to fully work. This activation is currently free. Simply go to the previous mentioned URL and enter your IP address if you have not done so already.
Once you have activated CPanel PRO, go into whm->addon modules and check clamav connector, then click on "save". This will install clamav for you to use
Once you have done THIS, go to whm->service manager and UNcheck spamd (it is no longer necessary with ASSP), and again click on save/submit. Note that this IS optional, however the purpose of ASSP is to defeat spam before it GETS to SpamAssassin.
Once you have done THAT, go into whm -> tweak settings and uncheck SpamAssassin and BoxTrapper mail.
Secondly, the requirements:
ASSP needs certain perl modules established To install these, simply login (as root) to your server, and type the following
Code:
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Compress::Zlib
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Email::Valid
/scripts/perlinstaller --force File::ReadBackwards
/scripts/perlinstaller --force File::Scan::ClamAV
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Mail::SPF::Query
/scripts/realperlinstaller --force Mail::SRS
/scripts/realperlinstaller --force Tie::RDBM
/scripts/realperlinstaller Sys::Syslog
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Net::LDAP
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Time::HiRes
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Tie::DBI
Note that the --force is optional, however it will make sure you've got it installed. Do these one at a time as some of these have configurable options to them.
One more perl module is needed. Since the later versions of Net::DNS are known to cause issues with RBLs, SPFs and the like, it is advised to use 0.57 . This can be obtained by doing the following:
Code:
mkdir /usr/local/assp
cd /usr/local/assp
mkdir /usr/local/assp/tmp
cd /usr/local/assp/tmp
wget [url]
tar xzf Net-DNS-0.57.tar.gz
cd Net-DNS-0.57
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Do NOT remove the /usr/local/assp/tmp directory as when you update cpanel, it will try to auto update Net::DNS again, so you will want this intact.
Now, let's get with the program here and install ASSP:
Code:
cd /usr/local/assp
wget [url]
unzip -d /usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP_1.2.6-Install.zip
mv --target-directory=/usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP/*
mv --target-directory=/usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP/.DS_Store
rm -rf /usr/local/assp/__MACOSX
rm -rf /usr/local/assp/ASSP
rm -f ASSP_1.2.6-Install.zip
rm -f Win32-quickstart-guide.txt;rm -f freshclam.bat
cd /usr/local/assp
mkdir pb
cd pb
touch denysmtp.txt
touch exportedextreme.txt
touch pbdb.black.db
touch pbdb.rbl.db
touch pbdb.white.db
cd /usr/local/assp
mkdir /usr/local/assp/notspam
mkdir /usr/local/assp/spam
mkdir /usr/local/assp/errors
mkdir /usr/local/assp/errors/notspam
cd /usr/local/assp
wget [url]
chmod 755 start
wget [url]
chmod 755 stop
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
wget [url]
chmod 755 assp
The core of ASSP is now installed. However, the development versions have updated functions to use for users. Of course, this is completely optional, but is recommended completely. This can be done by the following in SSH
Code:
cd /usr/local/assp/
mv assp.pl assp.pl_old
mv spamdb spamdb.old
mv rebuildspamdb.pl rebuildspamdb.pl.old
mv repair.pl repair.pl.old
mkdir Data
mkdir Data/Lists
wget [url]
wget [url]
000F4555.2/rebuildspamdb.pl
wget [url]
wget [url]
mv assp.css images
wget [url]
cd Data/Lists
wget [url]
chmod u+x /usr/local/assp/*.pl
Now, let's get it up and running, and configure it, shall we?
Code:
cd /usr/local/assp
/etc/init.d/assp start
You'll see ASSP sending out some messages and then doing nothing. This is ok, and it's the expected response. Now, we need to edit some stuff. Hit ctrl-c (cancel) to shut down ASSP
once it's stopped, you'll see the following file in the assp directory - assp.cfg . Edit that with whatever you want for an editor, something like:
Code:
nano assp.cfg
You want to change a few options immediately just to get it working
Look for the lines that are something like:
Code:
runAsGroup:=
runAsUser:=
and change them to be:
Code:
runAsGroup:=root
runAsUser:=root
Then look for the line that is
Code:
AsADaemon:=
and change it to
Code:
AsADaemon:=1
Now, let's change the password just so that we're secure:
look for the line that is
Code:
webAdminPassword:=nospam4me
and change that to
Code:
webAdminPassword:=insertrandompasswordhere
Now, let's tell ASSP to setup and accept mail for our domains. Look for the line something like
Code:
localDomains:=
and change that to be
Code:
localDomains:=file:/etc/localdomains
Almost there, just a couple more changes needed.
Look for the line that is something like
Code:
smtpDestination:=127.0.0.1:225
and change that to be
Code:
smtpDestination:=127.0.0.1:125
(or another port instead of 125, just REMEMBER the port!)
and one more change
change the line that looks like
Code:
listenPort:=125
to
Code:
listenPort:=25
Now save and exit the file. If you're using nano/pico, that would be ctrl-x , just make SURE to save the file before you exit!
Now, let's get ASSP fired up again
Code:
/etc/init.d/assp start
let's make sure you have assp starting on system boot:
Code:
chkconfig --add assp
Let's add a crontab to make sure that ASSP rebuilds the bayesian spam list
Quote:
crontab -e
Code:
10 4 * * * cd /usr/local/assp;/usr/local/assp/rebuildspamdb.pl
Occasionally, what I've seen is ASSP will get "hung" on certain things and just kill itself. This fix will work for this, and make sure your ASSP installation is running smoothly
Open up another file on the server, my example will be /bin/asspcheck. In this file, add the following contents
Code:
assplog=/usr/local/assp/check.log
DATE=`date "+%m-%d-%y [%k:%M]"`
pidof=/usr/local/assp/pid
thispid=`cat $pidof`
if [ ! -d /proc/$thispid ];then
rm -rf $pidof;
/etc/init.d/assp start
echo "$DATE - ASSP - restarted" >> $assplog
else
echo "$DATE - ASSP - ok" >> $assplog
fi
Now, chmod the file itself
Code:
chmod u+x /bin/asspcheck
Now, make sure it's called every 60 seconds. Add this to your root crontab
Quote:
crontab -e
Code:
* * * * * /bin/asspcheck
Now, let's go BACK into WHM and setup the variables needed to get exim to use ASSP
In exim configuration editor, click on "advanced editor"
Clear out EVERYTHING from all of the existing boxes. Keeping these with data can cause ASSP to not function as it should
When you've done that, add the following to the top box:
Code:
# assp
local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1.125
If you changed this variable to something else
Code:
smtpDestination:=127.0.0.1:125
put in the other port, NOT 125, so it would look like 127.0.0.1.whateverporthere
Click on Save
Exim will restart and you now have a working installation of assp
Now, let's go to it and work with it a bit, shall we?
go to [url], enter the user admin and the password you changed nospam4me to. This will get you logged in and you can tweak the settings as you feel necessary.
ASSP is a great and powerful proxy for any mail server, which blocks using RBLS, whitelists, etc. It is advisable to setup the email interface and let your customers know of this so that you can get them to help you in reporting and addressing spam.
Parts of this howto were taken from this page, however much of that data has been found to be outdated as far as downloads from CVS and the like go, and I've added quite a bit of useful information into it as well.
Go through the ASSP configuration VERY carefully, and ONLY change what you're sure of.
Start with the RBLs, increase the list to 5 and max hits to 2 as suggested.
If you notice problems with this or know how it might be better, hey, feel free to post in here and I'll keep it as updated as possible :)

Dec 3, 2007I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, If I've selected the wrong forum, admins please move.
I'm looking to set up a server side "mailing list", with a few specifics. The idea is that someone could send a mail message to production@domain.com and it would then forward that message to all members included in that department (no more than 12 each). The old administrator here had us hosted on 1and1, who allowed 3 forwarders per email address, and he had managed to rig a system out of that, but I've just moved to Downtownhost (yay!) and they appear to only allow 1 forwarder. Is there a simple way to do this without having to make all users maintain their own mail distribution lists?

FTP Forwarding/proxying
Jul 11, 2008I have two servers. server A and server B, server A is fast to my my clients, but server B is slow. Server A and B are not in the same network.
Clients need to download/upload files to server B with FTP.
How can I do something like this:
Clients use FTP client connect to server A, server A acts as a proxy server connect to server B, the files uploaded/downloaded to server B are all proxy by server A.
Client will not need to do anything except use server A's IP for FTP.
I have looked into SSH FTP forwarding, but it's not the same thing.
Servers are Linux CentOS.
Can anyone give me advise what software/program I should use to achieve this?

Telivo mention web-forwarding in their documentation but I can't seem to see where to access it to configure it, either on the Telivo's control panel on their site or within the actual SiteAdmin control panel for the domain itself.
Telivo's documentation simply says "Click on the 'Web Forwarding' link" (I assume within the SiteAdmin on your domain), but I can't see one!
I've looked in the DNS management menus as well (on Telivo's site control panel) but the web-forwarding option still eludes me. (Email forwarding is there, though, but not web-forwarding).

Going From URL Forwarding To Hosting?
Apr 24, 2008i currently have a domain registered with namecheap that is NOT being hosted.
i'm using a URL Forwarding using a URL Frame redirect to point it to some website.
i now want to have this domain hosted (maybe at hostgator).
Question: once i copy all my files to the hosting site and get the nameserver info - once i enter the nameserver info in my namecheap control panel for the domain name, i assume namecheap will cancel the redirect immediately.
will there be ANY time when visitors to my domain will get an error code? what will visitors see in the time between the cancellation of the redirect and the full propagation (that may take 1-3 days i understand)?
