Protect your domain from email scams with Scam-protect: a milter that blocks unauthorized usage of your address in emails. Keep your email communications safe and secure with this powerful software solution.
Scam-Protect is a milter that provides email domain protection against phishing attacks. The software rejects mails pretending to be from your domain to protect your users from phishing attempts. It is not intended to be a substitute for SPF or SenderID.
Scam-Protect offers several key features, including the ability to reject mail with your domain name in the mail from envelope and the From header. The software is lightweight and uses minimal resources, ensuring it won't slow down your system. Additionally, Scam-Protect includes a configurable whitelist of IP addresses or a range of IP addresses, which can be used to allow only specific hosts to use your domain name in email addresses.
To use Scam-Protect, users should configure their mail clients (MS Outlook, Eudora, Mozilla Thunderbird) to use the port 587 instead of the SMTP port to send mail through the mail server running Scam-Protect. Scam-Protect will accept mail only if the connection was authenticated through SMTP AUTH.
To use Scam-Protect, you need sendmail version 8.12.x or higher, built with MILTER support enabled, and the milter library and development kit. To install, extract the Scam-Protect tarball, rename the Makefile.bsd or Makefile.linux file, compile the software, and copy the created Scam-Protect file to the appropriate location. To generate a new sendmail configuration, add the appropriate settings to your sendmail.cf file, and add the list of hosts allowed to use your domain name to scam.conf file.
Finally, create a user (scamprot for example) to run Scam-Protect, create the /var/spool/scam directory, verify that the user has read-write access, and start Scam-Protect as a daemon. To shut down Scam-Protect, enter a command to stop it. You can also configure Scam-Protect to protect multiple domains and define the IP addresses allowed to send mail from your domain.
