Hi everyone...

Recently when looking at the logs i started to notice some bizzare lines like those:

It means that some error happend, that caused to SpamFilter not to filter the message, and pass it

to the mail server...  any ideas?

I am using Dan's Regex expression.... (the best one i saw till now)

 

Thanks,

Eran.

Eran,

It usually means that the RegEx has a problem (like not the correct number of Parens) but I am not getting these except on a check for invalis email addresses when the address is WAY too long.  In that case, the entry "Loop Stack Exceeded" is in the log.  THIS IS NORMAL and prevents a high CPU condition.

If you have one message source that goes along with one of your log entries, I would send the information to support@logsat.com and ask Roberto.

One very important question ... what build of SpamFilter are you running?  There are new builds that did, in fact, correct a condition that could cause this.  I am running build 206 and the following RegEx's have been fully tested with that build.

((<[!--]+[\x20]{0,1}[a-zA-Z0-9]{10,}[\x20]{0,1}[!--](.+)){2,})
((http|3dhttp)://.{0,26}(((%.+%))|@|:)[(\d|\w)])
(http://+[\d]{1,3}\.{1}[\d]{1,3}\.{1}[\d]{1,3}\.{1}[\d]{1,3})
((http://http:/\w)|(<(\w){3,10}(\x20/>)|(\*http://w)))
(<[!--]+[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,3}(-\->))
(((natural penis)|(arge your p)|(1-4 inches)|(3 - 5 inches\!)|(generic viagra)|(123respmarket)|(herbalpillsonline)|(herbaltrials\.com)|(naturalherbal)|(pillsavings)|(gsc\-100)|(go771world)))
((text\-decoration: blink)|(click here to start)|(limited time (special|offer))|(your privacy is extremely important to us)|(this is not spam))
(((www\.)|(http://))(\w){1,20}(4u)\.(biz|com|net)|(medsonsale\.biz)|(freeandgetsave)|(opportunit12)|(thirdw\.com)|(teflondoninc)|(epromotionad))
((lsgone\.php)|(isgone\.php)|(exit\.asp)|(mc4\.idetermination)|(medsusa\.biz)|(getitwhileucan)|(\&\#105)|(4improvement\.biz)|(best\-ratez\.biz)|(genoveseinc\.biz)|(greatestoffersite\.biz)|(gootle\.us))
((remove\.php)|(hit\.php)|(re\-move))
(content\-type:\x20text/(html|plain)(;){0,1}((\r\n){0,2}|((\r\n){0,2}(\t|((\x20){0,15}))charset(.){5,20}))(\r\n){0,3}content-transfer\-encoding:\x20base64\r\n)

Thanks again Dan,

I am using 206 too, and from what i have seen, in 3 days run, i have about 9 such errors

on the log, different sources, all of them are spam mails....

As for you regex expression, can you send it to me as a text file, since i am not sure

if i got it correctly (word warps, http encoding and so on)...

my e-mail is ezeitoun@dalet.com

(your regex for the block from mail will also appricated....)

 

Its really making me crazy, SpamFilter block around 60 to 70% of the incoming mail,

(98% is really spam mails), and i still get to my mailbox around 10 spam mails a day...

everytime i manage to filter new ones, next day the find a new way how to bypass

spam filters...
