dst-0.10 released
2004-12-16 by Emmanuel Dreyfus
Hi folks Here is dst-0.10, a toolkit for real-time and distributed spam trapping In a nutshell, the idea is to set spam traps everywhere and to have spam activity instantly reported to a whole community. In order to run real experiment on it, we need to have a lot of participants. This list grew rather large, and mosts participants are interested in new techniques for fighting spam, so it's time to help. That software should work with any MTA and it does not require root privileges. That means you can really set spam traps everywhere. I expect some trouble at build time, but testing also include this kind of troubles :) New in 0.10: - public keys are sent with spam reports. That makes key deployement easier - dstc now has many defaults parameters, so it require less options. - I wrote man pages for dstc(1), dstd(8) and dstd.conf(5) - I wrote a quick and dirty web page on the subject: http://hcpnet.free.fr/dst/ Get dst-0.10 here: http://ftp.espci.fr/pub/dst/dst-0.10.tgz SHA1 (dst-0.10.tgz) = 756c293f9b0b5823c74da6c8f9c6387c836f1fd5 Quick start: look at the README. Publish a spam trap address, install dstc in the .forward for that address, run dstd, and feed your spam reports to mine (at dst.espci.fr). Drop me a mail and I'll install a feed to your dstd. Fred and Herb: I've let that testing network die a while ago, but now it's time to resurect it. Please restart your dstd (expect of flood of queued entries from mine). -- Emmanuel Dreyfus manu@...
