Hello people,


I have to move the ML to a new host because the old
one will soon no longer be available.

For everyone who wants to keep track of
changes or possibly new development the
new location is at

policyd-weight as a tarpit

Gregor Glashüttner — 2010-03-21T22:20:48

Hi!

I´m using policyd-weight and think it does a great job in rejecting
spam. I would like to do a little more and eat up the spammers
resources by tarpitting them. My system doesn´t have too much traffic
so i simply added "sleep(5);" in policyd-weight´s section "parse and
store results, do some cleanup, return results", right before the two
lines "return($EREJECTMSG.$RHSBLMSG.$RELAYMSG.$DYN_DNS_MSG);". This
should eat 5 secs of the spammers time, right? In /var/log/mail.log i
see "delay 5s" after the reject message (used to be 0-1s before).

Of course that could be improved, by calculating the sleep-time
depending on score, running processes compared to $MAX_PROC, a
config-file configurable $MAX_TARPIT_TIME etc.

Regards
Gregor
