![]() ![]() When this file first loads it may be empty, don’t panic. To edit this file we will use the following command: nano /etc/virtual/blacklist_domains To block blacklisted domains globally on our server will be using the /etc/virtual/blacklist_domains file. To make sure you have setup RBL Blocking on your DirectAdmin server, log into your control panel and go to Server Manager > Adminstrator Settings > Email Settings and select the Use RBL Blocking checkbox. These files will only be activated on domains which are enabled in the /etc/virtual/use_rbl_domains file. If you have installed SpamBlocker using custombuild the ownership and permissions will already be set correctly. It is important that these files have the same ownershipĪnd permissions as your /etc/virtual/domains file. The full list of file locations are: /etc/virtual/bad_sender_hosts The files are located in the /etc/virtual/ folder. You can also use the SpamBlocker feature to block bad sender hosts or IPs, blacklist senders and whitelist domains, hosts or senders. In order to block blacklisted domains throughout our server we will be using the SpamBlocker blacklist domains feature built into DirectAdmin. How to Blacklist TLDs, Domains or Email Address Globally If you want to view all TLDs currently available so you can curate a more extensive list the IANA TLD list can be found here. For this guide we will use this list to help you get started in reducing the amount of spam received. The Spamhaus Project TLD list is updated on a regular basis and can be found here. They score the TLDs on a ratio of good to bad domains indicating that the registry needs to do a better job at enforcing policies and reducing abusers and the amount of suspected spam messages received. The Spamhaus Project maintain a list of the current most prolific spam TLDs. We will assume that you have already installed SpamAssassin, Exim and SpamBlocker on your DirectAdmin server. In this guide we are going to show you how to block specific TLDs with Exim and SpamAssassin using a global blacklist of domains and how users can block domains using SpamAssassin in the DirectAdmin dashboard. In September 2019, it was estimated that Spam messages accounted for 54.68% of all email traffic. The email spammers are signing up for these cheap TLD and continually sending out spam to legitimate email addresses. From these domains we have seen a significant amount of unsolicited emailed spam messages, also referred to as junk email, being sent and are being used almost exclusively for malicious activity. With so many TLDs available you will find many Domain Registrars offering crazy introductory offers for the first year of registration and have seen TLDs like. We saw an explosion of weird and wonderful TLD pop up and at the last count there are in excess of 1500 TLDs available ranging from. However, in 2012 ICANN and IANA ended the restrictions on TLDs, which essentially meant that anyone could register a TLD. Outside of these each country had their own TLD called Country Code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD) such as the United Kingdom who uses the. ![]() Header CONTAINS_VIG Subject =~ /apple, orange/ĭescribe CONTAINS_VIG Bad Word fruits in the Subjectĭescribe CONTAINS_PEN Bad Word in the BodyĬatch messages in the Subject and body containing apple and orange and add to the scoring system 1.5, for your purses you may need to increase the scoring drastically it depends on your required score for spam (check for it in local.cf).When the internet first started there were only six Top Level Domains (TLD or gTLD). ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.cf – custom file per user./etc/spamassassin/ – Ubuntu 16/17, Gentoo./etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf – CentOS 7.Set these 3 lines (or the 6 above for the headers and body) in your user_prefs.cf file, which is probably here: headers search, the example template is for the Subject header, but you could any other header name. ![]() If you use spamassassin here what you can do to create a simple rule to find words and rate the message with a desired score, which will (probably) mark it as a spam. Not so often we need to write our custom rules for fighting against spam, but sometimes we need it, because a spammer just wanted to target specifically our server or clients. ![]()
