Barracuda offers a new -- and free -- alternative to Spamhaus
12-17-2008 12:00 PM
For many years Spamhaus has been top dog in the anti-spam world of DNSBL (Domain Name System Block List; also known as Realtime Blackhole Lists or RBLs). But Spamhaus is no longer a 100% free service. Even small nonprofits are now expected to pay at least $250 per year for a subscription to the Spamhaus DNSBL Datafeed Service. Now a new, free alternative to Spamhaus has arrived: the Barracuda Reputation Block List (BRBL), provided by well-known, open source-based Barracuda Networks. And Barracuda CEO Dean Drako says the company has no plans to charge for the service in the future. He says that BRBL (pronounced "barbell") "does cost us a little bit of money to run, but we think that the goodwill, the reputation and the understanding that Barracuda is providing the service will do us well in the long run."

Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SpamCop(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation		  Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SpamCop(3pm)

NAME

       Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SpamCop - perform SpamCop reporting of messages

SYNOPSIS

	 loadplugin	Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SpamCop

DESCRIPTION

       SpamCop is a service for reporting spam.  SpamCop determines the origin of unwanted email and reports it to the relevant Internet service
       providers.  By reporting spam, you have a positive impact on the problem.  Reporting unsolicited email also helps feed spam filtering
       systems, including, but not limited to, the SpamCop blacklist used in SpamAssassin as a DNSBL.

       Note that spam reports sent by this plugin to SpamCop each include the entire spam message.

       See http://www.spamcop.net/ for more information about SpamCop.

USER OPTIONS

       spamcop_from_address user@example.com   (default: none)
	   This address is used during manual reports to SpamCop as the From: address.	You can use your normal email address.	If this is not
	   set, a guess will be used as the From: address in SpamCop reports.

       spamcop_to_address user@example.com   (default: generic reporting address)
	   Your customized SpamCop report submission address.  You need to obtain this address by registering at "http://www.spamcop.net/".  If
	   this is not set, SpamCop reports will go to a generic reporting address for SpamAssassin users and your reports will probably have less
	   weight in the SpamCop system.

       spamcop_max_report_size	 (default: 50)
	   Messages larger than this size (in kilobytes) will be truncated in report messages sent to SpamCop.	The default setting is the maximum
	   size that SpamCop will accept at the time of release.
