The sa-blacklist.current file in this directory is a blacklist
of spammers in a form suitable for use in the spamassassin mail filter
program ( http://spamassassin.org/ ).

	Many thanks to a growing number of contributors; please see the
blacklist file for their names.  Thanks to all for their contributions!

	Please send additions or corrections to me, William Stearns
<wstearns@pobox.com> .  Please read the README.policy file first.

	Here's the new way of installing the blacklist.  Pick a non-root
user under which this will be done; substitute that user's login name
for non-root-user in the following.  Do this once as root:

touch /etc/mail/spamassassin/50blacklist.cf
chown non-root-user /etc/mail/spamassassin/50blacklist.cf

	, make sure that /etc/sudoers has a line for the above user:

non-root-user        ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart

	, and place all on one line in non-root-user's crontab
(/var/spool/cron/non-root-user):

17 1,7,13,19 * * * sleep $[ $RANDOM / 1024 ] ; rsync -aqL
zaphod.stearns.org::wstearns/sa-blacklist/sa-blacklist.current
/home/non-root-user/50blacklist.cf && cat /home/non-root-user/50blacklist.cf
>/etc/mail/spamassassin/50blacklist.cf && /usr/bin/sudo
/etc/init.d/spamassassin restart >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

	Then get cron to reread the config file by doing this as root:

touch /var/spool/cron

	I'm also providing a list of the domains in sa-blacklist as the
file "sa-blacklist.current.domains".  Squid will gladly use that as a
list of blocked domains; perfect for email clients that will go out to
fetch images stored on spammer web servers.  Set up a regular download
like the above and add these two lines to /etc/squid/squid.conf:

acl spammers url_regex "/etc/squid/sa-blacklist.current.domains"
http_access deny all spammers

	There's also a .uri.cf version of this file that looks for these
domains inside URL's in the message.

The following is the old way, no need to use any more.

        replace_blacklist rsyncs a new copy down and installs it in any
spamassassin configuration files you want automatically.
	
wget http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/replace_blacklist.current
mv replace_blacklist.current /usr/bin/replace_blacklist
	
/usr/bin/replace_blacklist /root/sa-blacklist \
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf /root/.spamassassin/user_prefs \
/home/wstearns/.spamassassin/user_prefs
	        
        The first param is the local cache of the blacklist, all the
rest are sa config files where you'd like the old blacklist removed, if
any, and the new blacklist installed.  If you're happy with the script
and don't want to have to deal with it again, add this to
/var/spool/cron/root and restart cron (one long line, change the 17 to
something else so we don't all update at once):
		
17 1,7,13,19 * * * /usr/bin/replace_blacklist /root/sa-blacklist
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf /root/.spamassassin/user_prefs
/home/wstearns/.spamassassin/user_prefs
