Hi,

We've opened the outbound port 24441 TCP and UDP in the firewall. 
There's any other port that should be opened?

Improving the pyzor digester

[Oli S. <py...@li...>]

Hi

I noticed that pyzor recently received a feature to locally whitelist
digests - thanks a lot for this! This got me thinking of how the root
cause of these 'digest collisions' could be fixed (see
https://github.com/SpamExperts/pyzor/issues/3 ). 

I came up with a few ideas - but maybe I'm completely wrong about this,
so im hoping we could discuss it on the mailing list before I submit
any actual code.

#1 : Don't feed "invalid" data to the normalizer

The normalizer assumes to be working with text (it strips urls, emails,
unique identifiers, ...) but pyzor also feeds *undecoded* non-text
attachments. (https://github.com/SpamExperts/pyzor/blob/master/pyzor/digest.py#L173-L175) 

This causes messages with little or no body text and a base64 encoded
attachment to end up with a single line of base64 padding data used for
creating the digest. 
Ideas:
 - ignore non-text parts completely ( probably requires code to detect
text parts which don't actually have a text/* content-type header)
 - use a hash of all non-text parts to update the digest and don't feed
this hash to the normalizer

#2 : If a message body only contains a links/short text lines/very long
words (identifiers), the normalizer strips away everything and creates
a digest of the empty string which causes digest collisions. 

Let's say we have a body like this: 
"buy: http://shop1.example.com" 
In the current implementation, pyzor strips away both the url and the
text (because the text is shorter than 8 characters) and the message
gets the same digest as one with an empty body.

Idea: Don't *remove* dynamic parts like emails/urls/identifiers but
replace them with static markers like '[EMAIL ADDRESS]',
'[URLPATTERN]' , '[LONG STRING]' in order to keep the text structure
intact. So, in the example above, we'd actually hash the string
"buy:[URLPATTERN]"

#3 : Add more uniqueness to empty  body messages

Even with #2 implemented, there are situations where the digester
simply doesn't get any  data. For example, we see a lot of people
sending themselves reminder mails with no body ("Subject: 'buy milk'")

Idea: if there is no usable body data, use the Subject header to create
the digest

What do you think?

Best regards
Oli

I see no issues with the server, "pyzor ping" is working fine here, so 
likely there is still a local firewall somewhere.

Hi there,

The public pyzor servers started to react slower and slower about 12 
hours ago. Since around 2014-10-30 04:00 UTC all 4 servers timeout
while ICMP pings are still answered.

Through several suggestions from private email and on the SA list I have
it working again. I added a few lines to my /etc/mail/spamassassin
local.cf:

ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Pyzor
pyzor_path /usr/local/bin/pyzor
pyzor_options --homedir /etc/mail/spamassassin/.pyzor
endif

and copied the .pyzor folder over from my home. Restarted SA and pyzor
seems to be working now.

Pyzor ping works fine:

chris@localhost:~$ pyzor ping
public.pyzor.org:24441	(200, 'OK')

Pyzor check however just nets me a blinking cursor until I interrupt the
process with Ctrl-C which gives me:

chris@localhost:~$ pyzor check
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pyzor", line 336, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/local/bin/pyzor", line 141, in main

    msg = email.message_from_file(sys.stdin)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/email/__init__.py", line 66, in
message_from_file
    return Parser(*args, **kws).parse(fp)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/email/parser.py", line 68, in parse
    data = fp.read(8192)
KeyboardInterrupt
 gives me:

but it's probably there because of the interrupted process.

It’d be very useful to know what the error is.  Trying running pyzor by itself, rather than through SpamAssassin, e.g.:

$ pyzor ping
public.pyzor.org:24441	(200, 'OK')
$ pyzor check
Subject: Hello world!

Test
public.pyzor.org:24441	(200, 'OK')	219150	12833

You’ll presumably not get those responses, and get an error instead.

Errors after upgrade

[Chris <cpo...@em...>]

System is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. This morning I upgraded to the newest
version of Pyzor using this command as shown on the webpage:

pip install --upgrade pyzor

Since then I've been seeing this in my syslog:
Aug 31 10:02:43 localhost spamd[2645]: pyzor: check failed: internal
error, python traceback seen in response

Aug 31 10:07:02 localhost spamd[2645]: pyzor: check failed: internal
error, python traceback seen in response

Aug 31 10:35:38 localhost spamd[2645]: pyzor: check failed: internal
error, python traceback seen in response

I've attached the .pip.log from the install which I did as user. There
seemed to be some errors that were shown in red so I did a sudo pip
install --upgrade pyzor also. I notice now that there is also a .pyzor
folder in / as well as the original one that is in ~/.pyzor.

Thanks for any advice or even a 2x4 upside the head.

Chris

Definitely yes! Tell the sender to switch to plain text only.

Besides, you did not mention what version of pyzor you are using. It 
would also help if you included the digest and predigest.

Here is what I get from the sample you sent using pyzor 0.5:

$ pyzor -d digest < tmp.eml
8a202b7827b02b87424cb394e9fee0bf301a84ac
$ pyzor -d predigest < tmp.eml
/*Font*/
1552224324;}
/*Style*/
70.85pt2.0cm70.85pt;}
gtemso9]>
gtemso9]>

You see, only the HTML part is used and this is too arbitrary and 
might lead to false positives.

However, it's currently not listed by pyzor due to a whitelisting:

$ pyzor -d check < tmp.emlsending: 'User: anonymous\nTime: 
1406540644\nSig: 002f26ed9576a83ebfde22d3d04f0f8ca6bdf6eb\n\nOp:

sorry, you have posted it to the mailing list now...

(I usually delete private replies to mailing list mail, since I expect them
to be posted to the mailing list too, you note on the ML)

The mail body is too short, and yes, it contains HTML crap - in fact more
HTML crap than usual text. Yes, that can cause the problem.

I see it in the DCC, but not in pyzor now (I assume it has expired).

Older versions of Outlook (don't know about current, e.g. 14) had an option
to use Microsoft Word for HTML mail.  Turning that off could help the
problem.

Whitelisting requires authorization?

[Henning <hen...@gm...>]

I would like to whitelist mail from a specific sender address that is 
often reported as spam by pyzor (and dcc by the way). However, it is 
NOT, but I am not able to whitelist it by myself because this seems to 
require authorization.

~$ pyzor whitelist < false-positive.eml
public.pyzor.org:24441  (403, 'Forbidden: User is not authorized to 
request the operation.')

So I would like to ask if you can remove the digest key manually from 
your database.

~$ pyzor digest < false-positive.eml
8a202b7827b02b87424cb394e9fee0bf301a84ac

Is this the recommended way of doing so?

Best regards,
Henning

Internal Error on some but not all Spamassassin generated checks

[Steve B. <sbe...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm getting:

"pyzor: check failed: internal error, python traceback seen in response"

on many Spamassassin generated calls to pyzor. In the case of good 
emails, at least, the senders report getting a bounce, but the emails 
make it through to the recipient. Despite adding '-d' to the pyzor 
options, I haven't been able to actually look at a traceback. Could 
anyone direct me to how to find an actual traceback?

On a related note, we have postfix aliases. Should I be explicitly 
giving a --homedir for pyzor? I'm not sure what that "servers" file is 
about. Setting a --homedir doesn't seem to fix the problem.

Thank you for any enlightenment on this.

Re: Syncing a local server

[Dreas v. D. <dr...@sp...>]

Hi Andre!

It's indeed not possible to sync a local server with the main database. 
That said, 36 MTAs should be no problem for the main Pyzor server. So 
please don't hesitate to use it :)

Syncing a local server

[Andre N. <an...@di...>]

Hello

I've just configure pyzor for the first time. I was browsing the list
and saw some old messages mentioning that there was no way of syncing a
local server with the main one. Is that still the case?

I have 36 MTAs with a fairly large amount of messages and I'm worried
I'll overload the main pyzor server if I enable it in all of them, so my
idea was to run a local pyzord with a copy of the database.

Best regards,
Andre

With the lastest kerfuffle at github, I might recommend taking a look at
gitlab.com instead.  Less popular, but more features for free...

Just my $.02.  :)

I'd love to see the pyzor codebase move to github, the fork/pull
system would make contributing code much easier.

Pyzor moving to Github

[Alexandru C. <chi...@gm...>]

Hello Pyzor users,

The Pyzor project has been hosted on SourceForge for some time now, but the
Hosted Apps platform is being retired
soon<http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/community-docs/Hosted%20Apps%20Retirement/>.
(2014-06-19) Some of you already complained that it is slow, so in a way
this is good news!

This means that our issue tracker will have to move to a new place. With it
we will probably want to move the source code repository, but keep the
current mailing lists in place. And continue to publish releases on both SF
and PyPI.

Our first choice so far is GitHub <https://github.com/>, but we are also
looking at other open source hosting platforms. As usual we will send
announcements when the project has been moved. So this is more of a advance
notice, but we're also hoping to get some feedback from the community
around this.

Kind Regards,
The Pyzor team.
