The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Problem with AWL,BAYES_05,RDNS_NONE Entry

Asked by rosederekj in Qmail Email Server, Anti-Spam Email Software

Im still learning spamdyke, and we are using it with QMAIL, and Im stuck on this one.  

We have 5 distribution lists, lets call them emaila@domain.com, emailb@domain.com, etc., that receive messages from the same address, based on criteria  lets call that sendera@domain.com.

Regardless of the destination, there are always the same details in my maillog when a message is received from sendera@domain.com.  Here are the details 

Jun 24 00:16:53 mail spamdyke[49849]: FILTER_WHITELIST_IP ip: 66.xxx.xxx.xxx file: /var/qmail/control/lists/whitelist_ip(3)
Jun 24 00:16:53 mail spamdyke[49849]: ALLOWED from: sendera@domain.com to: emaila@domain.com origin_ip: 66.xxx.xxx.xxx origin_rdns: mailserver.domain.com auth: (unknown)

Jun 24 00:16:58 mail spamd[21324]: spamd: clean message (-1.1/5.0) for emaila@domain.com:58 in 5.3 seconds, 1530 bytes.
Jun 24 00:16:58 mail spamd[21324]: spamd: result: . -1 - AWL,BAYES_05,RDNS_NONE scantime=5.3,size=1530,user=emaila@domain.com,uid=58,required_score=5.0,rhost=localhost,raddr=127.0.0.1,rport=59444,mid=<prefix.mail.domaincolo.com>,bayes=0.038585,autolearn=no

When I first noticed this entry, my assumption was that it was a rDNS issue but the rDNS does resolve from the sender domain.  Oddly enough as well, mail from 1 of the 5 distribution lists was coming through although the message about AWL,BAYES_05,RDNS_NONE was displayed.  

To test, I created a whitelist_ip entry for the IP of their mail server.  It seems to have helped so we now receive e-mail from 2 of the 5 entries, but the message above still references the AWL,BAYES_05,RDNS_NONE.  And, as a result, we are still not receiving messages from 3 of the 5 distribution lists.

It appears the whitelist_ip didnt give me the desired effect.  Any advice on how I can make adjustments so that this e-mail comes through from this sender?  Or, work with the sender so that they make adjustments so that mail will flow to us without adjusting our spam filters?  My preference would be to have this fixed without having to maintain the whitelist_ip entry.
