SPAM Control FAQs

SPAM Control Configuration

based upon version 1.3.5(9.18)

Regular Expression to Identify Redlisted Mail* (redRe)

If an email matches this Perl regular expression it will be considered redlisted. The redlist is a list of addresses that cannot contribute to the whitelist, and who are not considered local, even if their mail is from a local computer. For example, if someone goes on a vacation and turns on their email's autoresponder, put them on the redlist until they return. Then as they reply to every spam they receive they won't corrupt your non-spam collection or whitelist: \[autoreply\]

Redlisted addresses will not be added to the whitelist. Redlisted messages will not be stored in the SPAM/NOTSPAM-collection. As all fields marked by * this field accepts a list separated by | or a specified file 'file:files/redre.txt' .

Spam Error (SpamError)

SMTP error message to reject spam. For example:554 5.7.1 Mail appears to be unsolicited -- send error reports to postmaster@yourdomain.com

Blacklisted Addresses/Domains* (blackListedDomains)

Addresses & Domains and addresses from which you always want to reject mail, they only send you spam. Note this matches the end of the address, so if you don't want to match subdomains then include the @. Note that buy.com would also match spambuy.com but .buy.com won't match buy.com. abc@def.com will match abc@def.com but won't match bbc@def.com. Wildcards are supported.

For example: @spam.net|.pics.com|seller@bayer.com|sell*@basf.com

Regular Expression to Set Contents Only Checks* (contentOnlyRe)

Put anything here to identify messages which should only be checked for content. For example: email addresses of people who are forwarding from other accounts to their mailbox on your server. These addresses will bypass PB, Sender Validation, Griplist, IP Limiting, Delaying, SPF, DNSBL & SRS checks.

Send 250 OK (send250OK)

Set this checkbox if you want ASSP to reply with '250 OK' instead of SMTP error code '554 5.7.1'. This will turn ASSP in some form of tarpit.

Don't Upload Griplist Stats (noGriplistUpload)

Check this to disable the Griplist upload when rebuildspamdb runs. The Griplist contains IPs and their value between 0 and 1, lower is less spammy, higher is more spammy. This value is called the grip value.

Don't auto-download the Griplist file (noGriplistDownload)

Set this checkbox if don't use the Griplist or want to download it manually.

Add Envelope-Recipient Header (AddIntendedForHeader)

Adds a line to the email header "X-Assp-Intended-For: user@domain" .

Block Outgoing Spam-Prob header (NoExternalSpamProb)

Check this box if you don't want your X-Assp-Spam-Prob header on external mail. Note this means mail from local users to local users will also be missing the header.

Add Spam Header (AddSpamHeader)

Adds a line to the email header "X-Assp-Spam: YES" if the message is spam.

Add Custom Header (AddCustomHeader)

Adds a line to the email header if the message is spam.

Add Graphical Level Header (AddLevelHeader)
