Either via SpamFilter' GUI, in the "Settings - Configuration - Black / White Lists / Honeypots" tab, or by entering them directly in the new file you should have created, specified by the entry:

BL_HoneypotEmailsFileName=C:\Program Files\SpamFilter\NewFileNameHere.txt

If I do that, where do I add new email addresses that I want to use as honeypot?]]> Fri, 24 Aug 2007 09:18:50 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6207&PID=10807&title=losing-honeypot-enties#10807 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6207&PID=10805&title=losing-honeypot-enties#10805 Author: LogSat

To keep the file names consistent, you should change the file used by the "Honeypot Emails" list. That can be done wither via SpamFilter's GUI, or by editing this line in the Filters.ini:

BL_HoneypotEmailsFileName=C:\Program Files\SpamFilter\NewFileNameHere.txt

This file should contain the list of email addresses you want to use as hoenypots.]]> Thu, 23 Aug 2007 19:38:13 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6207&PID=10805&title=losing-honeypot-enties#10805 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6207&PID=10796&title=losing-honeypot-enties#10796 Author: Stupid

Ok, I should have caught this before, but I was looking at only the presence of the full path name in your post, I was not looking at the filename itself.
This is the problem:

BL_HoneypotBlockedIPsFileName=C:\Program Files\SpamFilter\HoneypotBlockedIPs.txt

BL_HoneypotEmailsFileName=C:\Program Files\SpamFilter\HoneypotBlockedIPs.txt

You are using the same filename for both blacklists, so one is overwriting the contents of the other. Please note that those two files are very much different.

The "Honeypot Emails" contains a list of email addresses. These email addresses are stored in whatever file you specify via the GUI, and is then stored in "BL_HoneypotEmailsFileName".

Any emails sent to a recipient in that list will cause the IP of the sender to be blacklisted. This sender's IP will be added to the file specified in the "BL_HoneypotBlockedIPsFileName" field. By default, this file is handled internally by SpamFilter and is called "HoneypotBlockedIPs.txt".

You will thus need to ensure that you use different filenames for the different lists.

We've been re-checking the past bug fixes, and saw that the following one:

// New to VersionNumber = '3.5.4.700';
{TODO -cFix : In SFE, sometimes new entries were not being added to the autowhitelist table}

could have actually caused a similar problem to other self-maintained lists as well, as the honeypot one.

Could you please upgrade to the latest build of SpamFilter to see if the problem has already been fixed in the latest builds?
