Needless to say that the "From" is forged ;-) SPF *cough* Come up with the TXT record that actually blocks all forged addresses but allows all legit users to keep using their email address - and keep in mind that opensuse.org does not offer an smtp server.
SPF is pretty useless there.
Not if SRS is implemented. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework#FAIL_and_forwarding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Rewriting_Scheme This was requested of the admins in "tickets #4876" a year ago, with no reply or comment, after it was suggested on the project mail list to do so. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2014-11/msg00094.html
SURELY, the question to be asked and answered here is WHY did the opensuse server pass on the virus document instead of quarantining those 2 e-mails?
Probably because openSUSE mail server does no antivirus checking. This is costly in CPU time (and needs a commercial antivirus for servers, as clamav hit ratio is too bad). People would still complain with both false positives and false negatives. I personally prefer that there is no filtering, because these are often too aggressive and remove wanted posts, with no way to recover them. Notice that being a redirector, it has no storage and can not quarantining emails. That task can better be done by the ISP that gets forwarded those emails, as it happened this time. P.S.: Why is this thread in the factory mail list? :-? - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
