Many thanks and good luck.

I have just looked through all his projects and the last one to be updated
was either Pyzor or at around the same time.

Is it worth discussing how pyzor should go forward in terms of functionalit=
y?

For example:

How to sync servers?
backward compatability with old clients?


Kind regards

I'll take a look in my old mailbox to see if I still have his other 
addy.  I used it with him when I fixed some of the documentation on the 
first couple of releases of Pyzor.

[Benedict W. <be...@cs...>]

Well blow me down with a feather!

Pyzor needs moving on because it works.

Has anyone any idea of how to get hold of Frank J Tobin?

So Milton, you have a new version under testing and run the back done =
server?

OK, 1st, how much bandwidth does it use, and how many emails does it get?

Secondly, fancy releasing an alpha?

Clearly there are people about keen to take this forward, though I am no =
python programmer.

Kind regards

Hi all,

After running the ( I believe the default fallback ) pyzor servers for a 
while I agree that something needs to be done in regards to this project 
to keep the project 1. available 2. up -to -date  and 3 maintained.

We are working on /using an internal "new and improved" ;) pyzor which 
we hope to release -- finally --  in the coming months.. This new 
version includes a distributed model :) for the database .

Does this mean that pyzor is currently unmaintained? I note on
sourceforge that no tickets have been assigned since 2004. I might be
willing to take over maintainership if noone else wants to; better
than leaving bugs untouched. Unfortunately it looks like ftobin is the

Setting up servers

[Benedict W. <be...@cs...>]

Having just read some of the docs, am I right in thinking that
I can set up some domain, with honey pot accounts, spam link=20
it all over the place waiting for email harvesting bots, then fill
mailboxes with spam, feed taht to pyzord and have my own=20
pyzor server as well as consulting the public ones?

As in I can use both, yes?

If so, did you want me to feed your public servers as well?

Kind regards

What dows Pyzor do?

[Raphael M. <ra...@ra...>]

Hi,

I use pyzor (and also Razor) within my spamassassin setup. It seems to 
yield better results. At least I did not see a false positive because of 
the pyzor tests. So: Thanks for the work!

But now, I'd be interested how pyzor works, where the messages from which 
pyzor learns come from and how I could contribute.

I also would be interested in numbers how many people use it which systems 
support it (I know from spamassessin integration and the pyzor command 
line tools).

Thanks in advance for all your comments.

Improper server advertised on pyzor.sourceforge.net

[Aleksander A. <ale...@al...>]

Hi!

Currently an unavailable server is advertised on
http://pyzor.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/inform-servers-0-3-x (the URL that's
accessed by "pyzor discover").

The server is 66.250.40.33:24441.

I've tried "pyzor ping"-ing it and was getting a timeout all the time from
different hosts/networks.

Then after sifting through this mailing list I've discovered one server
that works - 82.94.255.100:24441.

Why isn't at least this one working server published in the
inform-servers-0-3-x file?

AW: anybody still using pyzor

[Postmaster <pos...@ei...>]

hi,

sorry for my first dumb question but i just want to check if i can =
possibly
get some help with my installation...

i use pyzor via spamassassin (spamd) on my little debian box. i alyways =
get
this in the spamd-log:

---
pyzor: check failed: internal error
---

the standalone-pyzor-tests (ping, check aso.) are working without any
errors. i also use razor with spamassassin without any problems, all =
other
anti-spam/anti-virus-things in my qmail-config are working too...

a little bit of googling brings the following "solution":
---
http://antispam.imp.ch/08-opensource.html?lng=3D0 "apply the three
pyzor-patches an everything works fine"
---

...so i patched client.py with all this patches...nothing changed :-( =
still
"check failed" in spamd-log, all stand-alone-test are still working...

anyone got another idea ?!?

thanks

check ping:anonymous:allow
check report ping whitelist:bob:allow
