    Posted: 03 March 2005 at 10:59pm
We have released the public beta for the new version of SpamFilter ISP v2.5. The following information, along with the download links, is also available on the beta page at www.logsat.com/sfi-beta.asp.

Major Changes introduced in SpamFilter ISP v2.5 - The new SpamFilter ISP v2.5 includes support for an anti-virus plug-in. LogSat Software has partnered with Norman to provide optional antivirus protection for email traffic.

The antivirus plug-in will be available for purchase separately from SpamFilter ISP and will be an optional component. Unlike SpamFilter ISP's licenses, the antivirus plug-in will be offered as a subscription service with a yearly subscription fee. The amount of the fee has not been finalized yet, but it will not exceed the price of a SpamFilter's license. The availability of the antivirus plug-in for the free version of SpamFilter ISP has not been determined yet.

Technical notes - SpamFilter can run with or without the antivirus plug-in. When SpamFilter starts, it will check for the plug-in files. If they are found, antivirus support will automatically be enabled. We recommend installing the antivirus plug-in after installing SpamFilter. Restart SpamFilter after installing the plug-in to activate it.

Known Issues - In this beta version, virus definition files will not be automatically updated. We may make updates available form our website in the near future. There are cases when the antivirus plug-in installation program does not update the Registry correctly. If the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Norman Data Defense Systems is not created, please issue the following DOS command from the \SpamFilter\Norman\Nvc\Nse directory:

NSE /INSTALL

This will add the correct registry entries.

Disclaimer - This version is a pre-release beta. As such, problems are expected. 

This beta will expire on March 31, 2005.

I already have a Norman NVC Server Version running on the machine that SpamFilter is running on. Is it possible (or planned) to be able to configure the plug-in to use that version?

Mikek,

The Beta version will discover the existance of Norman and use the engine.  However, you will need to make sure that you "Exclude" the SpamFilter install folder from any real-time scanning.

Mikek,

Let me add on to what Dan mentioned. SpamFilter does use the existing Norman engine (provided it's engine v12 or higher). There's a few caveats in this beta build however:

The antivirus plugin consists of 3 DLLs used by SpamFilter: dwnse.dll, ncl.dll and nselapi.dll. These files are currently being installed by the antivirus plugin installation program. However the install program is currently not smart enough to see the existing Norman install, and will add another instance of the engine files in the SpamFilter\nvc\nse directory, and registry entries (the key mentioned inthe beta page). This will be fixed shortly.

If SpamFilter sees an existing install of Norman, it will use that engine, provided the 3 plugin DLLs are present in the SpamFilter directory.

Hi Roberto,

Does the virus scan take precedence over all other checks that SpamFilter performs, including the whitelists?  If not, where does the virus scan fit in the order of blacklist/whitelist checks?  (I've quoted one of your "order of precedence" messages below for convenience.)

Originally posted by LogSat LogSat wrote:

All the white lists are checked first. If a match is found, the blacklists are skipped, the email recipients are accepted, and SpamFilter is ready to accept the data command. If none of the whitelists are matched, then the blacklists are currently searched in order below. This order is not user-definable, at least not right now.

  1. Allowed Domains
  2. Local Domain BlackList
  3. Local Emails Blacklist
  4. Local Emails TO Blacklist
  5. Not in Authorized TO Emails
  6. Country Blacklist
  7. Reject No Reverse DNS
  8. Reject Empty Mail From
  9. Reject Same To From Email address
  10. Reject Same To From Domain
  11. Recipient Count > Max RCPTTO
  12. MAPS check
  13. Keywords
  14. Bayesian Filtering

The only exception to the whitelist is the "whitelist keyword check". In order for that to work, the message has to be received first, and for this reason even if the senders is blacklisted by other filters, the email will still be received so that it can be checked against the keyword whitelist.

Once a blacklist "hits", all further blacklist checks are skipped.

Thanks,

Jim

Jim,

For now in this first beta, the antivirus filter is the last on the list. However within the next builds we'll be changing that and moving it before the keywords filter. It cannot be moved even sooner order-wise, as the email content has not been received yet when the other filters are processing the email.

Hi, After installing the new beta I am getting this error.

Could not initialize Norman A/V engine - error $00010000

During install of the Beta I get a 16bit application error from the application and the av install is missing some install required file.


Is there any instructions on how to use or what to expect?

SpamFilter's error is probably caused by the incomplete av install. You can try to install the av on a different computer, and then copy the directory tree /SpamFilter/nvc/nse from the alternate computer to the one where the install fails. After the copy, from the SpamFilter/nvc/nse directory on the SpamFilter server try issuing the following command at a DOS prompt:

NSE /INSTALL

That should inistialize the av engine, and then restart SpamFilter.

Kevin,

The first thing I did was send a message from an outside mail account with the EICAR test file attached.  The EICAR file is not a real virus, but every antivirus program is programmed to treat it as a virus for testing purposes. You can download the EICAR file from Norman's web site.

Another way is to look at your logs to see if you have had any traps.  Here is a log entry with a virus trap.

03/05/05 05:30:41:070 -- (191) Connection from: 213.171.61.35  -  Originating country : Russian Federation
03/05/05 05:30:51:845 -- (191) Resolving 213.171.61.35 - Error resolving IP address (TimedOut)
03/05/05 05:30:52:126 -- (191) Mail from:

MAILER-DAEMON@domain.com To: any@domain.com will be rejected
03/05/05 05:30:55:150 -- (191) EMail from

03/05/05 05:30:55:300 -- (191) EMail from MAILER-DAEMON@domain.com to any@domain.com was received and quarantined. Size: 39 KB, 39936 bytes
03/05/05 05:30:55:310 -- (191) Disconnect

A SQL query should also reveal antivirus activity.

SELECT COUNT(*) 'Virus_Messages', RejectDetails FROM tblquarantine WHERE RejectID=17 GROUP BY RejectDetails ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC

I just ran this query on my SpamFilter test server (handling traffic for one low-volume domain only) and it returned the following resultset.

Virus_Messages RejectDetails
-------------- -----------------------------------------------------
246         &nb sp;   infected with the virus

Antivirus is not working on my system. I did the install as suggested and just sent through the eicar test file, and it went right through. Wouldn't it make sense to have something similar to the database to show the antivirus is active? perhaps later to show the datfile version?

This is an early beta, so things will not be perfect, but... if you check under the Settings - Anti Virus tab, you'll see, although incomplete, a few lines in a status box describing the status of the antivirus engine.

I checked that and its blank.

Any suggestions?

 

I installed it to c:\program files\spamfilterav if that helps at all?

The av plugin must be installed in the same directory where SpamFilter is installed, from the path you posted it would not seem that is the case. If the directory is not the same, that would definetly not work correctly.

Dan, you show-off!  Actually, I'm glad you posted your results... good to see performance under load.

But based on the resultset you posted, the query I posted earlier needs to be modified to give accurate totals by virus type.  Looks like the RejectDetails field sometimes includes a leading space, sometimes it does not... no biggie, it's easy to just trim it.

SELECT COUNT(*) 'Virus_Messages', LTRIM(RejectDetails) 'Details' FROM tblquarantine WHERE RejectID=17 GROUP BY LTRIM(RejectDetails) ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC

If SpamFilter sees an existing install of Norman, it will use that engine, provided the 3 plugin DLLs are present in the SpamFilter directory.

ok, so after installing the av plugin, I delete the mentioned registry entry and the SpamFilter\nvc\nse directories, except for the 3 DLLs mentioned?

will there be a reduced license fee for users like me that only need the plugin but not the norman engine?

that worked for me too.

I did notice that, even though I block *.com files, when I sent through the eicar test virus, it blocked the file via the black list but it also found that it had a virus and ultimatly blocked the message because of the virus.

Yes, I've noticed the same thing on all attachment types that we are allowing to be quarantined. (The attachment types that we have listed with ":null" to NOT quarantine are not even received, therefore not scanned by the antivirus... and that's fine.) The great thing about this is that the virus block becomes the reason logged in the database. I'm modifying our web interface to prevent a user from delivering a virus-infected message from quarantine.

Kevin, I'd be glad to, but I don't think it will help, since it's not in ASP.  We have a proprietary quarantine management page and "reportlet" that is written in ColdFusion.  We don't use the SpamFilter ASP code at all.

I have my own quarantine front-end as well, but for my part I just modified the SQL SELECT to include a WHERE RejectID<>17 and the user never sees mails that were blocked because of viruses...

I have had the Beta running successfully under moderate load.  I am increasing the load on the beta today.  I had about 40 discovered and blocked viruses.  I agree filtering on file extensions is preventing a higher count.

The install was smooth on both windows 2000 and 2003 server.  Everything registered correctly.  So far vary stable.

Will the final release include the ability for signature to be updated on a schedule?

Dwight,

Absolutely yes on the automatic updates. We're still working the details with Norman (the AV engine owners) on how this will work, but the next beta will probably have this feature enabled.

I am running with Quad xeon which looks like 8 CPUs as far as the OS sees it.
