Does anyone know how you can appeal or query a senderbase rating?

The "industry's most accurate reputation system" cannot be wrong. 
:-)  Most people trust DNSBLs because it's the magical solution to 
their problems.

A reputation system does not work as a DNSBL and won't have a 
delisting procedure.  As for appeals, you'll have to convince them 
that their data is not accurate.  See whether you can get a 
resolution through SpamCop.

Thanks :)

Our main issue wasn't with the listing but with the total lack of  
appeals procedure or delisting, as several large corporates seem to  
trust Senderbase and block based on its score

Thanks again

If you have alumni or full time lawyers on staff at Columbia, get out the
lawyerStick much earlier

Or (har har) you could always start a EDU class project in CS to find the
ironport traps and send out emails to the traps in all their actual various
ironport and affiliated business domains and see if they fix the issues

No.  I tried and failed over a period of many months.

Last year a spammer was inserting a faked Received header into millions
of messages a day, claiming that the spam originated at cs.columbia.edu
128.59.16.20.  Senderbase ranked cs.columbia.edu as by far the largest
sender of mail in our domain.  The catch?  The host never sent mail at
all.  We know that from our network traffic analysis and from asking
the system admins of the host.  So actually the Senderbase rating and
any other blocklist rating for that host did not affect anything, since
no mail came from the host anyway.  But for the sake of reputation we
asked Senderbase to correct the listing.  Repeatedly.

NOTE, Senderbase is badly compromised because their software believes
Received headers.  Some ratings are based on faked headers.  We know
for a fact that the cs.columbia.edu rating was based 100% on faked
headers.  One of the several Senderbase people I reached finally
agreed that they rated from Received headers instead of verified
connections.  But it didn't matter.  They just kept stalling and
referring it and so forth, and every month or two I'd try again,
and finally the spammer moved on.

If the spammer had faked a host that really sends mail, then we would
have had a practical problem to solve.  The cheapest solution would
probably be to rename the host and change its IP, and let the spammer
keep faking the old name and IP.

Maybe a letter from your lawyer to Ironport would get attention.  We
did not go to that stage.

Does that help?

(note, even after complaints above, habeas still claims 'secure 
referrals': proof I think that SA should lower these scores A LOT.

host 41.233.149.63.sa-accredit.habeas.com.
41.233.149.63.sa-accredit.habeas.com has address 127.0.0.50


    *

      10 to 39 : *Personal, transactional, and Confirmed Opt In*

    *

      40 to 59 : Secure referrals and Single Opt In

    *

      60 to 99 : Checked but not accredited by Habeas.

HABEAS_ACCREDITED_SOI is 'opt in or better' (orig -4.3) their score 49-59.
HABEAS_ACCREDITED_COI is 'accredited or confirmed opt in or better' 
(orig -8) their score 10-39

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5921

since habeas does nothing about spammers, I set (including flags to take 
'nice' off)

score HABEAS_ACCREDITED_SOI 2.5
tflags HABEAS_ACCREDITED_SOI net

score HABEAS_ACCREDITED_COI 0
tflags HABEAS_ACCREDITED_COI net

I added:
score HABEAS_UNCONFIRMED 8.0
tflags HABEAS_UNCONFIRMED net
header HABEAS_UNCONFIRMED eval:check_rbl('habeas-firsttrusted', 
'sa-accredit.habeas.com.', '127\.\d+\.\d+\.[6789]\d')


even though spamassassin team says this is a habeas issue, there is 
enough documented proof that the only people who use habeas are email 
marketing companies, the very existence of an ip in the habeas network 
proves it is bulk email, commercial bulk email.  the decision as to if 
your clients want (or should have) commercial bulk email is up to your 
TOS.  If you are an ISP, you should NOT use these above rules if you 
have consumer clients.  If you are the email administrator for a 
business, and your business forbids users to use their email address for 
personal use, then use them.  If your marketing department has signed up 
for 'permission based email', have them whitelist the senders.

Some might even use different tests to blacklist them at the MTA level, 
graylisting won't help, these come from 'real' mail servers.
for postfix:
|smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
  {standard tests}
  reject rbl_client sa-accredit.habeas.com

Considering that only spammers (er... 'email marketing companies') pay for
habeas, we have set a POSITIVE score for habeas accredited spam.  We track
any FP right up front, track any rule in a fp (releases from amavisd-new
managed quarantine), we use sa-learn.pl on shared imap folders, and let
users drag 'not spam' and 'whitelist user' to a shared folder (and keep
track of all fp rules), so far, three years, no user has dragged a habeas
certified email into the false positive folders.

(on the other hand, lots of fps last month on failed dkim messages.  New
messages from gmail not even being signed.. I wonder if gmail knows
something broke lately in dkim).

After seeing similar spam from "accredited" senders, we disabled any
score from the habeas rules long ago and have yet to notice any
increase in FP (we have ~5000 fairly sensitive users who definitely
let us know when things don't work as they want them to).  I've know
of other sites that have disabled the habeas rules/score as well with
similar results.   IMHO, they are not worth scoring on since they
obviously do accredit sites that send UCE.    Does anyone see any
benefit from using habeus?  Does it outweigh the spam that gets
through because of them?

The rule in the subject line is described as "Habeas Accredited 
Opt-In or Better".  That is not double Opt-In.  If Habeas is not 
responding to complaints sent to complaints@habeas.com, then it may 
be better to set the current score for that test from -4.3 to 0.

>(If anyone thinks streamsend are other than spammers, please email me
>privately and let me know)

  1. Streamsend requires their users to abide with CAN-SPAM
  2. An unsubscribe link is required but double opt-in is not.
  3. The domain information in Whois is hidden by a privacy service.

Would you whitelist such a domain?

I resisted answering at first, because I'm perhaps a bit too cynical:

  The way to appeal is to file a bug with spamassassin saying that
  senderbase is bogus and ask that any senderbase rules in SA be
  dropped.

I don't know that spamassassin pays attention to senderbase; if not this
probablly won't work.  I say this, mostly joking, from my experience
with habeas.  I have gotten spam on multiple occasions from senders that
are HABEAS_ACCREDITED_SOI, and complained to habeas - with absolutely
zero useful response.  I filed a bug:

  https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5902

and soon heard from habeas, who claimed that they revoked the listing of
that sender.

I then got more spam from a different habeas-accredited spammer, and
complained privately to complaints@habeas.com, and heard nothing back.

So the only rational conclusion seems to be that habeas accreditation is
bogus, and they only respond to public pressure.  Perhaps that's not
true and I've been unlucky, but that's how it feels from my end.

Here's my previously private complaint.  I predict that perhaps now it
will be paid attention to.

(If anyone thinks streamsend are other than spammers, please email me
privately and let me know)

I think senderbase is automatic.. You start spamming, you get on the list.
You stop spamming, (eventually) you get off the list.

You must be new to the 'net', so you get one free clue:

As for querying, did you even try to google for senderbase?
www.google.com

Type in 'senderbase'.  Big as life, 'Lookup'.
