Spampal is an email proxy:
Mail client --get email--> Spampal --get email--> Mail server
Mail server --send email--> Spampal --assess, mark and send email-- > Mail client
Your mailserver is now localhost (not pop.ntlworld.com). Your username is now your username + @pop.ntlworld.com
greencreeper --->
greencreeper@pop.ntlworld.com
I think that's it. SMTP doesn't work - or it didn't the last time I tried it.
If you use a firewall that quarantines attachments (e.g. ZA Pro), then you can disable the virus rules in the RegEx filter by putting a hash at the start of the line: B_INCLUDE_LIST filters_virus.dat
Right-click the brolly in the system tray
Choose Options
Plugins - choose RegExFilter
Click Properties
Filter rules will appear
I also added these rules (after the B_INCLUDE statements):
Code:
#ZA Pro attachments
=LINE: 500.0 {\b(name=)\"?[\w[:punct:]]*\.zl(([0-9]*)|(q?))?\"?} [QUARANTINED ATTACHMENT]
#Few rules that might deal with cleaned nasties
=LINE: 500.0 {\b(name=)\"?DELETEDO\.TXT\"?} [CLEANED ATTACHMENT #1]
LINE: 150.0 {\b(name=)\"?[\w[:punct:]]*\.txt\"?} [TXT ATTACHMENT - CLEANED VIRUS?]
#Zip files might be dodgy (latest versions of ZA Pro quarantine zip files so
#this rule might not be necessary
LINE: 100.0 {\b(name=)\"?[\w[:punct:]]*\.zip\"?} [ZIP ATTACHMENT - VIRUS?]
#JANET is safe
RECEIVED: -200 {.ac.uk} [UK ACADEMIC DOMAIN]
#Rule to deal with emails not addressed to me
@ANY-RECIPIENT: {(.*@ntlworld\.com)}
#This is all on one line but split up for reading on CF
-ANY-RECIPIENT: 200.0
{(draftspasmwarp@ntlworld\.com|dwarfinleopardskin@ntlworld\.com)}
[TO NTL & BCC'D ME]
#A flawed rule to deal with multiple NTL recipients
ANY-RECIPIENT: 200.0 {(.*@ntlworld\.com){2,}} [MULTIPLE NTL RECIPIENTS]
#Emails sent to my spam email address are given extra points
ANY-RECIPIENT: 200.0 {draftspasmwarp@ntlworld\.com} [SENT TO SPAMTRAP]
Finally, you can create extra DNSBL definitions:
Right-click the brolly in the system tray
Choose Options
Click Advanced so the tree expands
Select Extra DNSBL Definitions
Click the Extra DNSBL Definitions button
Add the attached text (cut and paste - remove anything already there)
Save the file
In the Options tree, find Spam Detection and click it to expand it
Expand Blacklists
Select Public Blacklists
Put a tick in Untrusted Countries at the bottom
In the Options tree, select Countries and remove all ticks
I think that's it but shout if you need help or are lost
