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

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, 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 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

Hello, Thanks to some nice people on here and other forums I have pretty much finalized my whole mail system on centos 6.x. With all the checks, greylisting, dev/null of any 8+ spam level SA, I still get a few mails. It seems like everytime I enable a new protectant, the mail stops spamming for a few hours...then the spammers decide I am worthy of using better methods against me..and more

Not sure if there is an app like this yet. I want to keep tabs on my web applications and thought of using a 'page checker'/ I was thinking either running a sum on the directory or each file...but thinking a simple date check would be fine. The idea is web application, except the uploads area for photos, never has changes to its files except when I change it. However, if it gets

I put this page together just so I won't spam the board anymore begging for help..lol http://bobhoffman.com/vmissue.html This shows a working effort of bonded eths, bridged into a vm, and a few other things. The only missing thing is something on the host that ends up putting the VM internet connection into some kind of limbo. Whether it is hardware related, bug related, libvirt nat

Okay, Yahoo is bumming me. Only system my mail is having an issue with. All mail is accepted, but junked. I can only think it is the DKIM/Domain keys. It is apparent that the dkim-milter is not part of the centos 5.x distro nor is it part of the mirrors, as far as I can tell. So...have any of you done it with your servers for sendmail? There are some sites that claim to have rpms and I have

I have been reading the threads on here with great ernest about redhat making a move to throw off centos compilations. I read some stories about microsoft wanting to work closer with centos http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/17/microsoft_and_centos/ I have to update to centos 6 due to some needs of clients who need newer mysql and php (and installing them on centos5 was too hard for me). I

Hate to ask, but after reading the last few months of centos history online I am worried. And to learn the lead guy seems to have absconded with the cash and left all the hard working devs high and dry..well that is scary. They all worked so hard and who knows what will happen now. If centos falls I have no choice but to go to redhat. I am wondering if the conversion will be easy or a complete

so I gave up on bonding. I found about 300 posts showing eth0 and eth1 both pointing to br0 (bridge) as interfaces. I followed them correctly, or so I thought. I pointed both ethx to the bridge, restarted network and bam...!!! entire ip block went out. when I called datacenter they told me the router was under attack and I was like 'uh oh' and told them to just shut off my computer I

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 have been using centos 6 in a virtualized system for a few months now. Took a while to batten down the hatches with postfix, rbls, and to use fail2ban correctly. The mailserver for my website(s) are located on the http server as well..an 'all in one' server. DNS servers are separated. My two sites, and their emails addresses (1 for each) have been around for 10 and 15 years

I got a spam today (from a yahoo server, surprise!) with nothing but a single link. http:// 2927755261/ I separated the http so it would not be a link in your email... suggest not going to it without proper measures. it takes you to a record search site. When I look up this number block here, http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/2927755261 it comes up with a different ip address... The ip

I noticed after my install that the tmp directory was A- not a sticky B- still executable I went and changed etc/fstab to add loop,noexec,nosuid,rw, which I hope is the right thing to do. I rebooted and it looks like it worked. When doing an ls -l on the main directory, the tmp folder lit up all green in putty (cool, I hope) But the chmods I did with winscp will not take effect (they do on

Hi all. I have a new server and am playing with the installation. (centos 6). My onboard sata card has 6 drives attached to it, yet the server has 8 bays. I bought a sata controller card (adaptec) and added it to the mix, adding two more drives. Everything works and all is accessible, but there is one annoying issue. When installing with anaconda, the 2 drives located on the add-on sata card

I've been messing with this for too long, now, and I'm blind to whatever's wrong. Or I'm simply being dense. Either way, I need help with a common issue. I'm trying to get Postfix+Spamassassin+Dovecot going on Fedora 10. (I'll get back to the global Sieve thingy soon, but I need to get this going, first.) When using the simple: mailbox_command =

Hello all, I am down to my last hurdle of my project, backups. I am thinking of three different ways to go and wanted to ask for input on what you think is the better choice. Not asking for 'how to' but more of 'what is best in your experience' The scenario... centos server acting as a virtual host. Virtual machines are webservers and dns servers. All on one machine, all running

When I first started using webservers I leased shared hosting. Then I moved to vps. Then to dedicated. In all that I was with various control panels. In almost all cases bugs in those control panels would cause all sorts of issues. (ensim, cpanel, plesk). The load on the server seemed greatly increased (especially with ensim). When I built my first server 4 years ago I decided to heck with

thought you would find this interesting... I get a LOT of political spam on one of my mails due to hosting a political site once. I have been slowly blacklisting the bulk companies and 'the net' of private people pushing political spam. There is one guy who has been sending me stuff for years and I just have it go to the junk folder and deleted..forgot about it. New server, new
