Automatic Updates

There will always be opinions, both good and bad on how MagicSpam protection, rules and policies are used, and what the defaults should be. Different environments may have different needs. We try to find the perfect balance, and that is not always easy. Just remember that we have to satisfy millions of users.. not just one person.

Automatic Updates

Postby fchivu on Wed Jul 14, 2010 7:56 am

How do I know the automatic updates feature of magicspam works and the definitions, reputation lists and new attack patterns are constantly updated? Is there any place where to check this? I have the impression that more spam messages are passing the filter from one day to another and I want to make sure the automatic updates work.

Thank you.

The full path to the appropriate resources will differ based on which operating system you're using. If you can provide us with that information, we can give you the full path to those resources on your server.

The paths to the files you're referencing are:

(For the regular expressions) c:\magicspam\dynaregex

and

(For the block lists) c:\magicspam\bms

However, you may want to ensure that you are running the latest version of MagicSpam, as the developers have noted (and fixed) an issue in a previous version where the updates were not running, due to an issue with scheduled tasks. We released the updated version which contains the fix a day or two ago.
