Resolved Email black list not working

[digitalbob]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Version 18.0.50 Update #2

Hi
I cannot understand what I am doing wrong here.
Getting spammed by the same email address every 10 seconds, driving mad as you can imagine!
I have gone to my email mailboxes and entered

*@bounces.elasticemail.net
*@jetproducts.org
[email protected]

under the Spam Assasin Blacklist. Tried deleting or marking as spam, nothing works.

I see that the spam score is -1.7 - how is that possible?

Not sure what else to do - any ideas?

Very worried that my sevrer and IP will get listed too, from the header info below. For example, jetproducts.org@MY-DOMAIN

Please check /var/log/maillog for the incoming mail and post the sequence of log entries regarding that incoming mail here. I guess the issue results from a large attachment or an image in the mail that exceeds SA_MAX_MAIL_SIZE. Please check

SpamAssassin Spam Filter

The SpamAssassin spam filter identifies spam messages among emails sent to mailboxes hosted on your Plesk server. Lea...

docs.plesk.com

if that helps.

If you look at the X-Spam-Status header you can see which Spam Assasin rules are applied/triggered.

X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.7 required=3.0 tests=BAYES_00,DKIMWL_WL_MED, DKIM_SIGNED,DKIM_VALID,DKIM_VALID_EF,HEADER_FROM_DIFFERENT_DOMAINS, HTML_MESSAGE,RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_H2,SPF_HELO_NONE,T_KAM_HTML_FONT_INVALID, T_SPF_PERMERROR,URIBL_BLOCKED,USER_IN_BLACKLIST,USER_IN_BLOCKLIST, USER_IN_WELCOMELIST,USER_IN_WHITELIST autolearn=no

This is interesting as it indicates that, for this mail, the sender is both on the Welcome list (whitelist) AND on the Block list (blacklist). So the obvious solution would be to remove whatever entry you have in your Welcome list (whitelist) that matches the sender.

Hi both, thanks for the swift replies!

No attachments or images on the email, they are super small, one paragraph with a text link.

Also no domains in my white lists either - I generally don't use either.

They have slowed to one every minute but still coming.

I looked at the log browser inside Plesk and saw this:
spamd: result: . 0 - BAYES_00,DKIMWL_WL_MED,DKIM_SIGNED,DKIM_VALID,DKIM_VALID_EF,HEADER_FROM_DIFFERENT_DOMAINS,HTML_MESSAGE,RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE,RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_H2,SPF_HELO_NONE,T_KAM_HTML_FONT_INVALID,T_SPF_PERMERROR,URIBL_BLOCKED,USER_IN_BLACKLIST,USER_IN_BLOCKLIST,USER_IN_WELCOMELIST,USER_IN_WHITELIST scantime=0.1,size=13821,user=[email protected],uid=30,required_score=3.0,rhost=::1,raddr=::1,rport=43412,mid=<[email protected]>,bayes=0.000000,autolearn=no autolearn_force=no

I see a new domain there - tracking.jetproducts.space - I will add that to the black lists?

Thanks
Rob

Unfortunately, that didn't work

 

[Peter Debik]

Probably Kaspar is right, please check again on allowlists. There is one for the server in general in Tools & Settings, but there is also one per recipient mailbox.

Hi guys
Thanks for the help here - I checked again and there were no email domains in the white list at all, in either Tools & Settings or mailboxes.
Luckily, this morning, it all stopped (fingers crossed) - so I suspect it has been stopped from another source rather than me.
All a bit strange but ended OK. I hope it doesn't happen again!
Many thanks again for the replies, appreciated
Rob

Which is weird, because the SpamAssassin header of the email you posted says otherwise.

Anyway good to hear the issue has resolved for you.
