similar to: whcih mailing list for mail server issue?

Perhaps I am trying to do the impossible. centos6, spamassassin, procmail, dovecot, postfix. Postfix, by default, accepts all incoming mail to any user listed in the shadow/passwd and alias files. I cannot find a way to stop that without manually blocking each non wanted user (like nobody, apache) without killing local delivery. For most of the users listed in those files, who cares. However

Hi all, Well it took a while for me to figure it out, but apparently my logwatch no longer can be mailed locally on my computer as I believe spamassassin is eating it. I can send it out to an email address outside my server though. So spamassassin is only checking incoming I guess. My question is....how do I...or should I.... Make all local mail go straight to the boxes and skip spamasassin

I've recently switched to using spamassassin via a sendmail milter, rather than using procmail to invoke it. This means that I get a number of messages appearing in my maillog, and then being reported by logwatch as unmatched entries. An example of such a messages is: Feb 27 04:33:09 quail sendmail[24780]: p1R4X46P024780[2]: URIBL blacklist\n\t* [URIs: tablettoxicspillsrx.ru]\n\t* 1.5

Sorry if this not the right place to post this.... BUT... Since May 31st, ALL of these user list messages have been filtered by "spamassassin" running on my Linux box. - Claim to be listed in "Bayes" as spam. - Have no clue why this is happening. Luckily, "spamassassin" sent the messages to the "probably-spam" folder on the Linux box & I was able to

Hi, # uname -a Linux obfuscated.example.com 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 4 20:23:34 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I noticed a few days ago that I'm not getting my logwatch emails to the root account any longer, and while I've definitely been applying updates from base, no other changes have happened on this box. I ran logwatch at the command line: logwatch --detail medium

I have had the same email address since 1997 (when microsoft stole bob.com from me thanks to network solutions...) In the early days I of course was free with my email and used it everwhere. Fast forward to 2012, some 15 years later. woof..the amount of spam sent to me has always just kept getting worse and worse. On my centos 5 server I just used sendmail with spamassassin and it killed a

Hi, Procmail, it can move messages around based on many rules. Use something like this in postfix main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail-wrapper -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME And something like this in /etc/procmailrc or $HOME/.procmailrc SPAMDIR=$HOME/Maildir/.Spam/ :0fw | /usr/bin/spamc :0 * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes $SPAMDIR DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/ DROPPRIVS=yes HTH --

Hi all, Question: Do you run the cron.d for updating spamassassin that came with the distro (centos 5.x)? I tried doing it when it was first set up and it just kept failing. Although set to run, neither sa-update logs nor cron logs show any activity at all on this cron. And thus I usually do it by hand, running sa-update -D on the command line every week or so. The cron.d/sa-update file is

I was wondering if Dovecot has the ability to sort email scored by Spamassassin? I know many people use Procmail for sorting but I was wondering if Dovecot can do the job or should I just use Procmail on my Linux (Postfix) server to sort email in specific folders? I have not yet installed Dovecot and or Procmail on the Postfix / Debian server. I would be installing the latest version avialable

I have a 6.5 machine that had everything set up and working correctly (fetchmail, sendmail w/ starttls, procmail, spamassassin) but the MB cratered. I bought a new machine, and installed Centos 6.6 and all is not well. I used the config from the previous incarnation (via backups) for fetchmail (works fine), sendmail (works fine for sending via relay and tls), but procmail now refuses to pick up

Hi all.. I have centos 5.2 There is a cron file that is commented out to auto update the rules of spamassassin Location: /etc/cron.d/sa-update This file is chmod 600, should it not be 755? All the other crons are 755 This line is commented. #10 4 * * * root /usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/sa-update.log Questions 1- should I re chmod it to 600 or leave it

Been working on my anti-spam centos mailserver for a while now and thought I would share fail2ban's help. I installed fail2ban a few weeks back. It was tough to get it working properly but pretty much working now. Although it works fine for brute force, I thought I would run it pretty tough against spammers. I started with a regular mail server, my old one, that is horrendously pounded

I'm looking for the Red Hat equivalent of this Debian statement "apt-get ?y install postfix mailscanner spamassassin bind9 clamav ssh webmin webmin-core logwatch libspf2-0 libmail-spf-query-perl" "yum search" can't find some of the packages. Is there some sort of online DB or something that I can search through to see which repository I need to enable for some of

Hi there, i'm trying to get dovecot, procmail, postfix & SpamAssassin working together http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=441062 But i'm not having a lot of luck, a question about dovecot, what kind of mail box am i using? mbox? if so does anyone know if procmail can use mbox? /etc/dovecot.conf protocols = imap pop3 imap_listen = [::] pop3_listen = [::]

I'm attempting to replace (a) a very old setup that has POP (qpopper) access to inboxes and a separate UW IMAP server that provides folders, with (b) a shiny new mail setup with dovecot providing both inboxes and IMAP support. For the new mail server I created a virtual machine running a minimal Fedora 16 installation and installed sendmail, MIMEDefang, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, procmail, and

Hi, I'm having problems with perl. I'm receivings this e-mails from logwatch everyday and appears to be a problem with perl. I explain a bit before expose the errors that I received: I tried to download all perl* packages, uninstall the repeated ones and reinstall all packages where installed. I need some help to try to solve this problem, because is a production server and I can't

Folks Logwatch is doing its thing properly on my 32-bit servers, delivering the report by mail to my root account once a day sometime around 3:30am. On the 64-bit systems, no mail is occurring. From the "cron" log on a 64-bit system, there are lines like: cron-20110821:Aug 21 03:36:23 XXX run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[9727]: finished 0logwatch (where "XXX" stands for the
