SpamD Package Needs Testers
-
Yep, its definitely related to spamd, I had to kill the install of spamd and now the shaper rules are not broken anymore.
-
I don't see any way that it could be linked to SpamD. I'll have to speak with eri
-
submicron, please send a broken rules.debug to my email (gmail). Thanks
-
I'm still trying to reliably re-create it, if I can, I'll send you the rules.
-
Just fixed all the button operations, delete, spamtrap, etc. Please test!!
-
I just re-installed the package and the jiggly buttons that do nothing still seem to be there.
-
They are still there, but they do work now… Or at least the delete function button worked for me?
-
Apparently they work, but only if you reload the page manually. My personal feeling is that pressing the buttons should cause the page to reload itself, otherwise you'll have lots of people frustratedly thinking that the buttons don't work.
Also, on that same page, the database totals apparently don't work. I have several items listed as "Whitelisted" but the totals show 0 items whitelisted.

There is a little blurb about that on the page at the bottom. The idea is being able to rapdily delete, deny or whitelist a number of domains without having to wait on page reloads… So I dunno, I personally like the ajax option but maybe we just need to hide the table row after an operation occurs.
-
Yeah probably, since we all know that nobody reads the helpful little blurbs.

Hi! I would like to test spamD, on one of my pfsense installation, but i need some guide on setting it up. I've read the man page on openbsd site just to have a clue, but a quick howto would speed things up.
The idea is to let my pfsense box be a gateway for our internal exchange server, that is being flooded with spam right now :-.
Thanks.
-
The package is really for testing right now, I wouldn't recommend putting it in production unless you 1) know what you're doing or 2) can tolerate potential lost email.
-
Ok. You would not implement it at this point! :-[ Anyway i can help to accellerate the testing process? I was testing it with vmware.
-
Installed at 8:15am Thursday 8/5/2008.
So far, no bugs or issues - working perfectly. Spam hitting the server has dropped dramatically.
From start of April to time of installation - 10864
Since installation to 10:00am 15/5/2008 - 19398.15% drop (and growing) in Spam hitting the mail server.
Will be testing pfSense including SpamD under VMWare in the next week.

Hammeraus,
For those people who are wanting to test this package, would you mind telling people how you have yours configured? There are a lot of people who want to test this, but many of them don't know where to begin.
-
Been using PF/Spamd for a couple years on another system with tweaking here and there…
With the pfsense package, I set the numbers low and it seems to block out the majority of spam while keeping late deliveries to a minimum.
-
Is anyone currently using the spamd package in a CARP cluster? We definitely need more people pounding on this package in that type of environment.
-
Whitelisting - it should be possible to create a whitelist of a range of IPs instead of having to whitelist a single IP address. For larger sites like gmail it may be desirable to whitelist all their _spf.google.com ranges. Currently, the GUI doesn't seem to support this.
-
Additionally missing is support for spamd.alloweddomains which might be another way to deal with the whitelisting problem. Again, this isn't going to be the right answer for everyone, but some customers will not want to wait for over and hour for inbound email to bypass their spam filter. The ability to add domains to alloweddomains will solve this issue.
-
Just got it up and going. My jiggly buttons don't seem to do much right now either (White-listing is perhaps my biggest gripe? I click the button and it shakes it's mocking little head at me and the thing stays gray listed!) I'll post up some screen shots of my configuration later tomorrow morning. So far so good, good e-mail = going through okay spam = 0 so far.
Quick questions:
-
I've got my blacklist entries put in, but on the counts it says 0 in the blacklist, that's just referring to the current connections, right?
-
is there a way to whitelist domains/ single e-mail addresses?
-
Is everyone running a secondary Spam/AV filter after this? such as Clam+Razor+Mailwatch or similar? (we're going on 4 hours of having it turned on and I went from getting 2-5 spam ever minuet to none so far…!)
Thanks!
