SARE Rules
Installation
Rules du jour
Rule_du_jour script is not at that link anymore. However, according to the SARE website (last checked June 27, 2009) the rules weren't being updated. Don't need to run rulesdujour each night until they start updating the rules again (if ever).
Download the rules du jour script that will update the SARE ruleset automatically:
cd /usr/local/bin
wget http://sandgnat.com/rdj/rules_du_jour
chmod ugo+x rules_du_jourCreate the config file, /etc/mail/rulesdujour. The TRUSTED_RULESETS can be modified to reflect the SARE rulesets that you want to use. At a minimum, it will need to contain:
SA_DIR="/etc/mail/spamassassin";
MAIL_ADDRESS="postmaster@<yourdomain>";
SINGLE_EMAIL_ONLY="true";
SA_RESTART="svc -t /service/spamd";
TRUSTED_RULESETS="SARE_REDIRECT_POST300 SARE_EVILNUMBERS0 SARE_BAYES_POISON_NXM SARE_HTML SARE_HEADER0 SARE_SPECIFIC SARE_ADULT SARE_BML SARE_FRAUD SARE_SPOOF SARE_RANDOM SARE_OEM SARE_GENLSUBJ0 SARE_UNSUB SARE_URI0 SARE_WHITELIST SARE_OBFU0 SARE_STOCKS";Run the rules_du_jour script to download the first set of the rules:
/usr/local/bin/rules_du_jourTo regularly update the rules, add a cron entry (this example will update the rules at 1am each night):
echo "1 1 * * * /usr/local/sbin/rules_du_jour 2&>1 > /dev/null" > /etc/cron.d/rulesdujour
touch /etc/crontab- Log in to post comments
