THe new registred release has caused very aggressive blocking. We did not change any of the rules. INI below. Any feedback would be helpful. We have had to shut down the filter until we figure this out.

 

; a true after an ordb entry means their DNS is expecting the IP to be reversed
; i.e. to test a connection from 1.2.3.4 they expect 4.3.2.1.bl.spamcop.net
[blacklists]
site1=BL.SPAMCOP.NET, TRUE
site2=SBL.SPAMHAUS.ORG, TRUE
site3=RELAYS.OSIRUSOFT.COM, TRUE
site4=SPAM.DNSRBL.NET, TRUE
site5=DNSBL.NJABL.ORG, TRUE
;site6=dun.dnsrbl.net, true

[server settings] ; dns - your DNS server dns=192.168.0.30

; the SpamFilter can be limited to listen on a specific IP:port. Leave empty for all IPs bound to nic ;ListenIP=209.26.140.2 ListenFQDN=worldlinks.com ListenPort=2505

;The email address to use in Error Replies to senders ErrorHandlerEmailAddress="System Administrator" <rkelly@worldlinks.com>

; DestinationServer is where you want all mail received by SpamFilter to be forwarded to DestinationServer=192.168.0.6 DestinationPort=2501

; AllowPercent is used to accept (AllowPercent=1) or reject (AllowPercent=0) emails containing the % character. ; Many SMTP servers are susceptible to being tricked into relaying with this. ; Ex. if you are netwide.net, then a spammer can use ; mail to: joe%yahoo.com@netwide.net ; to relay mail to joe@yahoo.com if your server is vulnerable ; Setting AllowPercent to 1 rejects ALL recipients email addresses conatining the % sign AllowPercent=1

;log daily activity to logfiles Logging=1 ListenIP=192.168.0.6 MultiThreaded=0 MaxInboundConnections=10 LocalBlackListFileName= LogKeywords=1 AutoVersionCheck=0 LocalIPBlackListFileName= LocalDomainsBlackListFileName= RejectNoReverse=0 DisableConnectionsGrid=0 MaxRCPTTO=20 MinMAPS=2 ArchiveSpamDays=0 KeywordsFileName=C:\Program Files\SpamFilter\keywords.txt ExcludedDomainsFileName=C:\Program Files\SpamFilter\ExcludedDomains.txt ExcludedFromEmailsFileName= AuthorizedTOEmailsFileName= LocalEMailsBlacklistFileName= LocalEMailsTOBlacklistFileName= RejectNoReverseForceDelete=0 RejectEmptyMailFrom=0 RejectEmptyMailFromForceDelete=0 RejectSameToFrom=0 RejectSameToFromForceDelete=0 BlackListForceDelete=0 ContentFilterForceDelete=0 LocalIPBlacklistForceDelete=0 LocalDomainsBlacklistForceDelete=0 CountriesForceDelete=0 LocalEmailsBlacklistForceDelete=0 LocalEmailsTOBlacklistForceDelete=0

; avoid being ourselves an open relay... ; enter here the recipient domains that SpamFilter will accept. ; I.E. if you are hosting netwide.net, then only emails addressed to user@netwide.net will ; be accepted and passed on to your DestinationServer. ; if your first entry is allow1=* then all emails will be accepted (not recommended) ; allow1=* [allowed domains] allow1=DISCOVEREUROPE.COM allow2=MAIL.DISCOVEREUROPE.COM allow3=WORLDLINKS.COM allow4=MAIL.WORLDLINKS.COM allow5=MAIL2.WORLDLINKS.COM allow6=WORLDVACATIONS.COM allow7=MAIL.WORLDVACATIONS.COM allow8=MAIL2.WORLDVACATIONS.COM allow9=PUBSYSTEM.COM allow10=MAIL.PUBSYSTEM.COM allow11=MAIL2.PUBSYSTEM.COM allow12=HANROUSA.COM allow13=MAIL.HANROUSA.COM allow14=MAIL2.HANROUSA.COM allow15=DISCOVERBRAZIL.COM allow16=MAIL.DISCOVERBRAZIL.COM allow17=MAIL2.DISCOVERBRAZIL.COM allow18=HOTELLINKS.COM allow19=CARIBBEANCOAST.COM allow20=MAYANRIVIERA.COM allow21=PLAYADELCARMEN.COM allow22=TULUM.COM allow23=DISCOVERCOZUMEL.NET allow24=DISCOVERLAFRANCE.COM allow25=DISCOVERPARIS.COM allow26=DISCOVERMEXICO.COM allow27=DISCOVERSTBARTHS.COM allow28=ELEGANTTRAVELER.COM allow29=ELEGANTTRAVELLER.COM allow30=RW-3.COM allow31=DHINET.COM allow32=207.224.106.221

Russ,

Could you also show some spamfilter log entries showing why emails are being rejected?

Ouch, this was missed during testing. It turns out the match against the allowed domains is failing if the "Allowed Domains" are entered in uppercase. It's definetly a bug and we'll release a patch within the next few hours.

In the meantime you can solve the problem by converting your "Allowed domains" to lowercase. This bug is limited to the upper case in your local list, the upper/lower case which the remote sender uses is handled correctly.
