Cerebrus 1.0.5
[1/10] from: gchiu::compkarori::co::nz at: 20-Nov-2002 9:23
For those beta testing Cerebrus, it should have
automatically updated to 1.0.5 if started up within the
last 12 hours or so. This should have happened with both
1.0.3 and 1.0.4.
It mainly adds an invisible flag which is set by default
to false. When true, you will lose the distracting
popups. You will have to terminate Cerebrus using the
Task Manager, or an email "Quit" command as there will no
other way to interact with it.
Instead of the popups, after each million spams have been
processed, an advert will pop up asking you to purchase
IOS :)
As always, I am happy to receive feature requests, bug
reports and their ilk.

Hi Graham,
I understand its done in rebol? But how? Did you bought
the IOS (which does not apply to what the rebol webpage tells me)
and or /ENCAP or /ViewPro? IOS?" Tell me more on the trick?
Very potential spamm killer !!!

Hi, just of interest: How do you this automatic update? Any special code
needed? Could we create a library-update function out of this?
I haven't looked into your code but I like the idea and I want to add
this feature to make-doc-pro. Robert

Hi Norman,
Yes, it's all done in Encap. And no, I haven't bought IOS
which is really something completely different.
>Very potential spamm killer !!!
I'm getting very good results so far with it, but of
course I would like more people to test it and to let me
know what their results are.
Cheers,

Hi Robert,

Hi Alan,
If you had run the patch-file utility a day ago, it would
have used the original patch files I had on my website.
That one worked fine.
But yesterday when I uploaded the patches to 1.0.5 from
1.0.4, I also uploaded new patches for 1.0.3 to 1.0.5 and
I guess I must have screwed up that part. I was sure I
had tested it, but ....
Better to just download 1.0.4 and let it update itself to
1.0.5
http://www.compkarori.com/cerebrus/cerebrus.zip
I've now changed the patch utility embedded in Cerebrus so
that it md5's the source binary to make sure it is the
correct one before attempting to apply the patch.
Cheers,

My 1.0.3 wouldn't update itself. So I tried the above procedure and that
seemed to work OK for me.
So far it's working OK. It sometimes doesn't classify some spam email as
spam email, but I think that's because these emails haven't been reported to
spam cop or similar.

Hi Andrew,
I think what happens is that the black listing DNS
services like SpamCop run multiple spamtrap addresses, and
when these addresses get mail, they report in to SpamCop
who then tallies a score and marks a mail server as being
a spam source when it is over a critical threshold.
So, it depends upon which lists these spamtrap addresses
have been harvested into, and if your email address is not
in the same database as theirs, then it could be they
don't see the spam you get.
Some anti-spam programs allow the users to form a
collaborative network where a user reports an instance of
spam, and the IP address of the mail server where that
spam came from is then notified somehow to all the other
users of that particular program.
I was thinking that Cerebrus could do the same. Perhaps,
a rugby server that accepts submissions from trusted
clients ( to prevent the spammers from inputting false
data ), and another rubgy server that allows Cerebrus
clients to query. I guess it would be faster than doing
it as cgi, but I risk my ISP killing my ruby service as it
would be a persistent process which is not allowed under
TOS.

Hi, ok I didn't knew it was a binary. Robert
