[Bug 6806] New: Public Blacklist for Email addresses

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6806

          Priority: P2
            Bug ID: 6806
          Assignee: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
           Summary: Public Blacklist for Email addresses
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: frank.urban@commerzbank.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: spamassassin
           Product: Spamassassin

Hi,

today most SPAM passing SpamAssassin is send from real existing Freemail
addresses.
I'm now looking for a way to put them on a public Blacklist and not in our own
SpamAssassin config.
In a first step I thought check_rbl_envfrom can help here, but I seemed that
only the domain is checked here and not the whole address.
Because the @ can not be part of a DNS name I think thats the problem here.
So the next idear is to build a hash code for each email address and put this
code on a blacklist, but how can this handeled by SpamAssassin?

Frank

I read now this old discussion and try to understand what they have done
But out of my understanding that was much more as I think that we need.
I don't want to check addresses in the body of the mail for example

I still reporting my SPAMs to a IP blacklist. There they are filtering out the
IPs from the Freemailer.
But in such a case this mail was a SPAM send from a real existing Freemailer
mailbox and so I asked them to put these email addresses to a separate
blacklist. Thats all is no problem. 
The only think I need is now a SpamAssasin Plugin check the FROM address from a
email again this blacklist.
Sounds not too difficult for me.

The dkim-reputation project has solve that problem and the SA plugins they
provide show how can it be handled.
Build a reputation system is a completely different thing, although the
opendkim project (started in version 2.5.0 ) has some simple implementation
of a reputation system.

it needs more public testing works, both on client and server side to 
be usefull, currently the sa plugin supports more then one dkim-rep 
server to be queried, but there is no public source to support it

You can consider http://www.dkim-reputation.org/ that goes a step forward.
Not truly sure about the project status and/or the quality of that
reputation they provide but, at least, you can take a look on the SA plugin
they provide.

Hi,
thanks for this.
I found only some discussions out of 2009 but this seemed to be a dead project.
Is it that you are talking about?

I get every day around 20 mails from my users regarding SPAMs passing the
filter. 18 of them are send directly from Freemailers
So I'm only interested in blocking them. SPAMs send with non Freemailer
addresse are not the problem here.

yep - It died because nobody was willing/able to make it happpen.
I'm sure there are several such Emailbl setups being run privately.
(I run one for a couple of friends & $dayjob)

You'd  want this for a simple reason: sender uses a non Freemail addr and the
Freemailer drop box is in the msg body and you'd miss that.
Same applies to other relevant headers.

To handle this you'll need a custom plugin to do the hashing/lookups

All this has been discussed many moons ago, there was a proof of concept BL
zone, etc..
Search the SA user's list archive for "Emailbl"
