[Bug 6090] New: Unlisted-WhoIs.com Lookups

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6090

           Summary: Unlisted-WhoIs.com Lookups
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.2.5
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamassassin
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: james@1shoppingcart.com


Can you please tell me where/how to remove the Unlisted-WhoIs.com lookups that
are happening with the software. Unlisted-WhoIs.com is no longer a vailid site
but domains are still be scored against that lookup. We would like to either
change the domain that does the lookups or just remove it all together. 

Do you have any ideas or suggestions in doing this?

Thanks,
James

let's nuke 'em.

at one point some of them provided good hits:

rules/STATISTICS-set1.txt:  0.575   0.9015   0.0000    1.000   0.89    4.00 
WHOIS_AITPRIV
rules/STATISTICS-set1.txt:  0.237   0.3660   0.0104    0.972   0.76    3.40 
WHOIS_WHOISGUARD
rules/STATISTICS-set1.txt:  0.127   0.1961   0.0065    0.968   0.72    3.20 
WHOIS_REGISTERFLY

and you can see from those scores that the GA liked them too.  but it sounds
like it's atrophied since then.

(reply to comment #4)
That's really in the realm of "ask the spamassassin-users mailing list for help
on configuration, not the bug report system", but I'll say that you can, in
your local system configuration file, disable them by setting to 0 the score of
all of the rules whose name begin with WHOIS_ that are not already scored at 0.
As for how to find out the names of all those rules and what their current
scores are and where the site or user local config file is and what the syntax
of setting a score for a rule in the config file is ... If you need help with
that read the doc, read the wiki, ask for help on the mailing list.

Is there a way to just disable these results in teh current build without the
need to do an update on our side?

I've removed the WHOIS_.* rules from trunk and from the 3.2 update channel but
I haven't pushed the updates through yet. My net connection just went flaky so
that will have to wait until tomorrow when I can get back to it.

Normally I would just say that this Bugzilla is for filing bug reports for
SpamAssassin, and that you should use the spamassassin-users mailing list to
ask questions about how to configure SpamAssassin and then close the bug as
"invalid" (not a bug).

However, I just checked the network mass check results and I don't see any hits
of any kind on any of the WHOIS_.* rules, which all query bl.open-whois.org

I checked back to a September, 2008 network mass check, to see what it was
doing back then, and found that a few of the rules had a few hits, on very few
emails and with abysmal accuracy.

Should we get simply get rid of all bl.open-whois.org rules or am I missing
something?
