 |
|
Intro
Some time ago, I cam accross the sa-blacklist which regularly maintains a list of spammers url for SpamAssassin and other softwares that have blocking mechanism.
I personaly use it for SpamAssassin and Privoxy. Put in a weekly cron job, a script retreives automaticaly the blacklist for Privoxy and SpamAssassin.
The website is here: http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/
I use fcron, so I made scripts for it and are put in /etc/cron.weekly. Here are the scripts and instructions I made...
For SpamAssassin:
| Quote: | #!/bin/sh
BL=/etc/mail/spamassassin/50blacklist.cf
sleep $[ $RANDOM / 1024 ]
rsync -aqL zaphod.stearns.org::wstearns/sa-blacklist/sa-blacklist.current $BL && chown root:root $BL && /etc/init.d/spamd restart |
(the rsync line is a one-liner until the end of file).
I named this file sa-blacklist.cron, but you can name it as you see fit.
Now run the script, which will fetch the file and restart SpamAssassin:
| Quote: | | /etc/cron.weekly/sa-blacklist.cron |
For Privoxy:
| Quote: | #!/bin/sh
BL=/etc/privoxy/sa-blacklist.current.action
sleep $[ $RANDOM / 1024 ]
rsync -aqL zaphod.stearns.org::wstearns/sa-blacklist/sa-blacklist.current.action $BL && chown privoxy:privoxy $BL |
(the rsync line is a one-liner until the end of file).
I named this file p-blacklist.cron, but you can name it as you see fit.
Modify /etc/privoxy/config and go to the actionlist section and add "actionlist sa-blacklist.current, so it should look like this: | Quote: | actionsfile standard # Internal purpose, recommended
actionsfile default # Main actions file
actionsfile user # User customizations
actionsfile sa-blacklist.current # spamassassin domain blacklist |
Then, do...
| Quote: |
# /etc/init.d/privoxy restart
# /etc/cron.weekly/p-blacklist.cron |
Check if you can access any of the URLs listed in /etc/privoxy/sa-blacklist.current.action
That all folks
If, like me, you have fcron, don't forget to make it read the new cron jobs with crontab -e. For the other cron flavours, I think you can figure it out.
There are instructions for other apps like Squid, Qmail, Exim and a few others.
I hope I did not miss anysteps as I did this a few weeks ago, kinda in a hurry.
