887523 - Large amount of spam getting through to Marketplace lists

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

We're getting a large amount of spam (all in Chinese) to the Marketplace lists, in particular [e-mail] and [e-mail]. I've tried marking them as spam in Zimbra, but to no avail, and as far as I can tell there's no way to flag them in Postini.

Is there anything we can do about this?

You could filter them on the mailman side of thing too, you will need to contact the list owner to add a couple of filters on the mailman list.

We're still getting a lot of these. I have a special purpose filter that takes care of some of the repetitive stuff, but I've attached what's gotten through to me in the past few days.

Apparently the status change field in the attachment upload form doesn't work.

maybe a seperate bug, but we are also getting lots of Chinese language spam to the non-mailman @mozilla.com distribution lists too [[e-mail], [e-mail]]

Added these 3 rules in the marketplace list

X-Spam-Status: Yes
^x-spam-level:\s*\*{10,}
^x-spam-level:\s*\*{5,9}(\s|$)

Note you can actually create these regex rules and tweak them yourself (provided you are the list admin) in Privacy option > Spam Filters. Lets see if this works
