Bot filter coming soon

To deter bots pegging the database CPU to 100%, a bot testing filter to be added to the website. This should not affect newsfeeds etc. Anubis seems light-weight - it is already in use within the FreeBSD Project. This notice is just a heads up in case you see something odd. This notice will be updated after Anubis is installed.

Simscan is a simple program that enables qmail-smtpd to reject viruses, spam and block attachments during the SMTP conversation so the email never makes it into your computers. It is completely open source and uses other open source components. Very efficient and written in C.

pkg-message:
For install:
NOTES: * You have to configure your anti-virus and anti-spam products! * You have to modify your qmail startup files to call simscan. In most cases, you just need to edit /var/qmail/tcp.smtp in order to call simscan instead of qmail-queue, by setting up QMAILQUEUE variable. For example: 127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" 192.168.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan" :allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan" * Don't forget to rebuild tcp.smtp.cdb from new tcp.smtp using tcprules! * Also, read documentation about how to configure attachment blocking and per domain processing.
