I noticed that if i put an email in the honeypot email list, but this email is not in the authorized to email, the ip of the sender wont be considered as honeypot ip. Is this correct for you? I think that it should be considered as spammer ip as the others. Don't you think so? Thank you, Edited by Simone |

Simone I agree that is the way it should work but others have made the argument against this. Regardless yes you do have to put the illegal email address in the Authorized To before it will make it to the honeypot. The authorized to filter is checked before many of the other filters. The process I have used is to review my quarantine and look for the most common bogus email names used. I then enter those into the Authorized To: and into the honeypot. This seems to catch most of spammers. Lee |

Sorry for the delay in responding. Lee is absolutely correct. Originally we had the honeypot exactly as Simone was expecting, but shortly after we were asked by a "crowd" of users to change it as it's working now. We are in a democracy... thus SpamFilter is now behaving as Lee described!

oops, found this topic and moved my question here:
So, if i don't want to poison my "Authorized TO EMails" list with bogus addresses, I should use :honeypot suffix in BlackTo list? The other question is how long the honeypot-blacklisted-ip will stay black listed? Forever or just like IPs in temporary cache (I personnaly would prefer the second - there is a chance that IP owner will fix his problems sooner or later)? |

Roman,
The filtering order (http://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID =5171#7776) shows that the "Local Emails TO Blacklist" filter is checked before the "Not in Authorized TO Emails" filter. So you have a valid point, and you could indeed use the :honeypot option to do that. In regards to how long the IPs remain in that list, currently they stay there permanently. |

Thank you, Roberto.
I think, I'll just write a script to rotate these IPs and expire them in several days. |
