I did see a pyzor test criteria show up in a score report in
the log, so I guess it is working.

So it exits with error code 256.  This is run as the

This is the same whether I use public.pyzor.org or the IP.

And when I am logged in as that user and try ping it
works fine...

-bash-3.2$ pyzor -d --homedir /var/cache/pyzor ping
sending: 'User: anonymous\nTime: 1238010461\nSig: c8da5a2464cdf9cfd280bc3831500984c8dd4780\n\nOp: ping\nThread: 6680\nPV: 2.0\n\n'
received: 'Code: 200\nDiag: OK\nPV: 2.0\nThread: 6680\n'
public.pyzor.org:24441  (200, 'OK')

and if I do this:

-bash-3.2$ pyzor -d --homedir /var/cache/pyzor check < ~hedges/lame/hedges && echo lame
-bash-3.2$

it apparently exit(0)'s just fine.  Hrmm.

Is it working?  Thanks for the help.

FYI, we are currently working on a new Pyzor release (which will of

spamd[27646]: pyzor: check failed: internal error

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

I've been working on a fresh install of Mandriva 2009 for the past week or so. 
I've got SA running but keep seeing the above in my syslog. Pyzor appears to 
be working though:

3.7 PYZOR_CHECK ? ? ? ? ? ?Listed in Pyzor (http://pyzor.sf.net/)

Anything to be concerned about?

Bohuno commercial is NOT Pryzor v2

[Gerard E. <ge...@wh...>]

Hi all
    I've seen the mails over the last few weeks concerning the "New 
release of PYZOR now dubbed 'Bohuno'" and I'd like to register my 
objection to commercial products being advertised on this mailing list, 
no matter how compatible with pyzor they claim it is.

I realise this may sound like I'm trying to pour cold water on what 
could be a promising project but lets just look for a second why I'm 
objecting.


Unless a "New Pyzor" project is
* released under the terms of a recognised opensource licence
* making a reasonable effort to be backward compatible with existing Pyzor
* allowing their source code to be peer reviewed

then in my opinion it CANNOT be considered "the New Pyzor", "Pyzor 
compatible" maybe perhaps, but NOT the "new Pyzor".

While I support any group that wishes to develop solutions to help kerb 
the spam problem, we need to be clear that Pyzor is OpenSource not 
commercial.
Bohuno as its currently stands is a proprietary closed source 
application and NOT OpenSource.

I registered the day I saw the mailing list post and was eager to see 
what could be done to further the Pyzor codebase, but unfortunately I've 
seen no reply to my registration email, even after multiple "registrations".

I for one will not be installing any "new Pyzor" unless I can look at 
the source code and reassure myself its AOK.
My clients security is not to to be trusted to commercial products that 
appear out of nowhere, claiming great things, no matter how slick their 
website is.

If I want a commercial product I'll go buy one.

Does anyone not connected with Bohuno have any reason why my above 
statements should not be considered correct?

That is too bad. :-(

One of the main reasons for writing pyzor (instead of just using already
existing "razor" protocol and servers which do more or less the same thing
as pyzor) was *precisly* to move away from closed-source backend.

In such a situation, it would be prudent to avoid using the word "free" -
some people might think of it as "free software" (as defined as FSF, in
pyzors GPL etc.) and NOT your intended meaning of "you don't have to pay for
it (yet), but we won't give you the source or any other rights".

It would've been great if you decided to just improve on the existing pyzor
server code, instead of rewriting it from scratch so you can prohibit people
from benefiting from free software.  Even if you decided that C or something
was needed for speed, you still could've realeased it under GPL as was
original pyzor code. 

Would you consider open sourcing it ?

There are many admins which won't consider running untrusted code without
source on their machines (and not only for security implications), and by
open sourcing you would actually give back to the community you're taking
from. 

And if your plans aren't locking-in the users so you can take advantage of
them later, both you and the users would actually benefit from your open
sourcing of code. (you get more users and popularity, users get the code
they're comfortable with and can audit and improve on)

[Milton C. <mi...@i-...>]

Pyzor and Bohuno in essense are the same .. only diff. is that the  
bohuno code is no longer in python, we have/ will have an open api  
based on http..
we do have a sync between remote databases, and we are determined to  
work on the code..

Yes it does still work with SA, we do however plan to release a

Re: New release of PYZOR now dubbed "Bohuno".

[Milton C. <mi...@i-...>]

When developing a pyzord that could cope with the load it had we  
decided to go with a closed "back-end" which was/is backwards  
compatible with the existing Pyzor.

To answer some of the questions raised on the list:

Yes the back-end is "closed-source" we do plan to release the API  
specs so al can develop against it.
But we encourage all to download the "remote" version that keeps a  
copy. It is free. -- not sure it runs on C64 -- would be great  
tough... :-)
Load the servers I maintained for a while was to much to handle so we  
decided to rewrite the code and bring some more while we were at it.

test the thunderbird plugin.. its using the api to talk to the  
backend...

FWIW it appears as though the SA plug-in is still working. A spam that was 
scanned since the new version report got a Pyzor score:

X-Spam-Pyzor: Reported 3 times.
X-Spam-Date: of Scan Fri, 28 Nov 2008 04:31:58 -0600

So it appears that as of this time it's still working as before.

AFAIK, there are not yet packages especially for SA, but one could 
make it work with SA, of course. I haven't tried it.

I am still checking out this Bohuno stuff. It's too new for me to try 
it anywhere but sandbox systems. And with mail servers sandboxes 
always troubled me :/

Moreover, I haven't found anything about the specific differences of 
pyzor and Bohuno, yet.

New release of PYZOR now dubbed "Bohuno".

[Milton C. <mi...@i-...>]

Hi "List",

With great pleasure I present to you the long discussed, wanted & now  
finished new version of PYZOR now dubbed "Bohuno". And for those of  
you thinking, "duh", _yes_ we could not come up with a better name.

Pyzor has been arround for while serving the Antispam needs, peeking  
to 1600 requests per second, for quite some time, and has served that  
purpose well. But we decided a bold move was needed and revamped,  
rewrote and remastered what made Pyzor successfull, and can present to  
you an complete rewritten back-end that can service up-to 10.000 hits  
per second, slave servers that are updated by the master, and client  
plugins you can include in your webmail environment.

As Pyzor the Bohuno service-usage is free, download the plugin or  
slave-server, and register .

please visit http://www.bohuno.com to find-out more and start using  
Bohuno.

best regards,

Milton

ps.. of top some of your questions.. with answers .. :

-- 1. / DO we have replication from the master DB to slaves we  
configure ?
	Yes we the slave-server DOES replicate to the master automatically..

-- 2. / Is Frank Tobin sill involved with the current project?
	NO, We tried contacting Frank to no avail, so we decided to just move  
on. The "Old" pyzord just could
	not take any more traffic..

-- 3. / Were do we report hashes ?
	All hashes are reported to the master server.. 82.94.255.100, from  
there they are distributed to the
	slaves.

-- 4. / Is it free ?
	Yes.. Its free, just remember to invite us for beers..


-- 5. / Why do I need to register..
	You need to register to use the plugins and also to use the slave..  
registration is all about keeping
	the central database clean --and not tampered with -- etc. etc. ..

--6. / So if I install the Slave,  Do I set my internal mailhosts to  
check against the my slave ?
	Exact. Thats the setup.. you reports SPAM to the central DB and check  
against your slave..

--7. / Whats number of messages I can do on a slave ?
	On a dualcore 2 Ghz, 1GB mem, 40 Gig storage, (could be your  
laptop :) we peeked at 10.000 requests
	per second ...  :-) hows that for speed .. We think thats be ample  
for most users..
	Need more?  Just setup more slaves and by a loadbalancer.. We use  
Foundry but you can Also
	use Netscaler, Alteon( oeps just gave my age away :-) , radware  
etc.etc.

delete this dir

and do not run pyzor client on root

your example is giveing permission denied correct since postfix have no
access to root homedir

more info:

permission denied errors

[Lists <li...@rh...>]

Hi all,

I was getting a pyzor error when running a message through spamassassin 
(testing)
so i tried sudo -u postfix pyzor ping
results were
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pyzor", line 4, in ?
pyzor.client.run()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py", line 934, in 
run ExecCall().run()
Fiel "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py", line 169, in 
run os.mkdir(homedir)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/.pyzor'

Has anyone come across this error before and or know how to fix it?

This is my first mailscanner / spamassassin / postfix installation
Running on CentOS 5

Many thanks
Kate

False positive

[Giampaolo T. <Gia...@To...>]

Hi,

I have to report a false positive from Pyzor.

The following mail:

	
http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z2197956459zad563db03aa8dbd53cc827c4f05398ffz

hits the Pyzor engine and only that (no hit for DCC nor Razor nor IXHash).

I don't know how Pyzor hashes the message. Is it because the message only
contains images?

Thank you,

Giampaolo

Listed in Pyzor

[Curtis L. <cur...@gm...>]

In my spamassassin scoring it says my email is listed in Pyzor.  What can I
do to get it removed?  Or how do I figure out why?

RE: Re[2]: Pyzor firewall ports

[Carl H. <cha...@qu...>]

Hello All,

I'd like to thank everyone, especially Dimitry and Milton for clarifying
which ports need to open on the firewall for Pyzor to successfully check
and report spam.  As pyzor only uses UDP, I've closed the TCP port.  I
really prefer to have as few port open as possible.  I currently have
only UDP port 24441 open for inbound and outbound traffic (I'll test
whether inbound is actually necessary in a day or two.  I've confirmed
that I'm pointing to the server at 82.94.255.100:24441.

Thanks again everyone for your help!

-- Carl

1) TCP is not necesarry at all
2) if you have _stateful_ firewall with correct UDP sessions management
- it may work without allowing incoming UDP port 24441
