Ok... I may be blind, but I cannot find the honeypot feature in my version of SpamFilter ISP. I am running 2.5.1.441. Should there be a tab for the Honeypot or is this just a name you are giving to another feature under the blacklists?

No, you're not blind... the honeypot feature was not introduced until 2.5.1.450. // New to VersionNumber = '2.5.1.450'; |

How often is the demo version updated? I am wanting to evaluate SpamFilter but it looks like the demo is quite a few versions behind. Derek |

There is no set policy... We try to release a new free version when the
number of improvements available in the retail version is such that
there are too many features users are not able to see/test. We'll
probably release a new free version in a few weeks, a bit after the
latest 2.6 versionis officially released.

short question, do you guys also think that logging the e-mail attempts to invalid mail adresses (not in authorisedToList), together with the number of attempts, would be useful? Having this feature would help create a nice honeypot mail adress list in my opinion. Regards, Marco |

Marco,
The logging is already happening, as in the log sample below. Keeping track of the number of attempts however is not, and we'll leave that task for a 3rd party application that parses the logfiles... 07/08/05 15:32:52:921 -- (792) Connection from: 172.27.4.51 - Originating country : N/A 07/08/05 15:32:53:296 -- (792) Resolving 172.27.4.51 - Not found 07/08/05 15:32:53:296 -- (792) - EmailTO is not in AuthorizedTOEmail list... 07/08/05 15:32:53:296 -- (792) 172.27.4.51 - Mail from: roberto@yahoo.com To: test@logsat.com will be rejected 07/08/05 15:32:53:296 -- (792) Disconnect |

My question wasnt clear enough, i meant logging to a separate file, something like the honeypotblockedip.txt, with a format like this: rejectedemails.txt xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx FROMsender@domain.com TOadress@ourdomain.com
Granted, it allready IS in the activitylog, but such a txt file would make life a lot easier in finding the bad senders. Regards, Marco |

Sorry Marco, I know that you actually wanted the logging in an external
file, but duplicating the logging functionality for some items in a
separate log is not currently planned.
