Yes, it's a few days behind schedule<g>. The SpamDunk Project is my
little contribution to the fight against spam. It's a series of
procmail filter recipes to catch spam. It assumes that your ISP uses
either sendmail or Exim as their MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) program.
Reasons for update...
- tweaks to prevent false positives when applying stricter checking of
email allegedly from Juno and Hotmail.
- the filters have been generalized to handle users who have virtual
domains and/or email forwarding. The major push for that is because I'm
now in that situation, and had to develop it for my own use anyways.
- attempts to de-fang incoming HTML email by changing the string
"text/html" to "text/plain"
- filter for obvious spamsigns (X-Mailer: Diffondicool, the Senator
Murkowski "memorial chant" 301/1618)
- my standalone high-bit-character filter, which traps BIG-5 (Chinese)
and Cyrillic (Russian, etc) characterset email, has been rolled into the
main filters. ***WARNING*** in order to match high-bit characters
(CHR(160) through CHR(255)) the file NOTLIST.TXT (uploaded as isnotlist)
must contain the high-bit characters themselves. If you attempt to edit
it, use an editor that handles these characters properly. Most Windows
editors don't. I suggest opening a DOS session, and using EDIT.COM in
Windows. Check your unix editor; I find that vim works OK unless I
force it into strictly "native mode".
The old Interlog.com address works for now, but no guarantees for the
future. The point behind getting my own domain is to have a permanent
fixed URL. The official URL is http://www.waltdnes.org
