Hello, I have a postfix server which uses procmail as its delivery agent to deliver incoming messages to several maildirs. For several reasons, not really relevant here, I need to process/refilter/sort again the content of these mailboxes before delivering the messages to the _other_ maildirs which Dovecot sees and serves to local or remote imap users. Basically, I need to write some shell

sorry for the vague subject, but I couldn't find a better one. I have the website http://digifreedom.net running on a Centos 4 VPS with Apache and Drupal 6.10 . This is a multisite Drupal setup: only one installation, with subdirectories in sites/, and a separate mysql database for each website. For several reasons, I had setup DNS, drupal and everything to work without the www prefix on

greetings, I am setting up Centos 6 i686 remotely, on a new VPS. A problem I have is that I cannot set password for new users. I have created one with useradd -m new_user but when I type passwd new_user this is the result: [root at vps ~]# passwd new_user Changing password for user new_user New password: Retype new password: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error [root at vps

Greetings, I have accounts on two Centos servers, A and B, each hosted on a remote VPS by a different provider/datacenter. Until yesterday night, I could connect without problems via SSH to both servers from my home Fedora 16 desktop. Yesterday I completed (fingers crossed) the switch to a different ADSL provider. From the moment I turned on the modem on the new ADSL line, I became unable to

Greetings, everybody I've browsed around a bit, but there seems to be no single practical list of this kind. What would you do to make a new Centos server which must run apache, IMAP (Dovecot) and SMTP (PostFix) and nothing else for a few domains as secure from attacks as possible, using only standard RPM packages as much as possible? (Please note that choice of other IMAP and SMTP servers

Greetings, I would like to install Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 (I need support for SASL authentication via Dovecot) on a Centos 4.4 server. I have already found rpm packages at http://postfix.wl0.org/en/available-packages/ and pages about using the centosplus repo for postfix. Before launching rpm or yum, however, I'd like to ask the list which way you think is the best way to do this. By

Hello, I may need to set up soon a Linux VPS, to be used almost exclusively for handling email (as in "2GB of disk space, 2GB/month of bandwidth would be surely enough") with a fully customized postfix/procmail/dovecot setup. I'd prefer to use Centos, which I already use and know. One reason why I'm asking this here is that I'd really like to be sure, before I go for it,

Hello, I have seen via google that this very problem was already discussed on this and other lists some months ago, but the archives report no solution. I have dovecot 1.0-0_12.beta8 on Centos 4.3. IMAP works just fine: I can read email from both Squirrelmail via web and Kmail. Now I have created an ssl certificate and I'm trying to use it via pop3. When I launch fetchmail I get the error

Hello, when one has physical access to a computer, he can run something like tripwire, with keys and checksum on a separate, write-only media, to verify the integrity of the system. What if the system is a remote one (in my case Centos 4.3 on a User Mode Linux VPS some hundred of KMs from here)? Does it still make sense to run tripwire remotely? If yes, how, since you cannot plug a floppy or

Hello, a couple of months ago, also thanks to help from this list, I set up postfix and dovecot for virtual domains on a Centos 4 remote server. I have postfix set up to deliver all email for marco at domain1.net to /var/mail/vhosts/marco_domain1.net/ Everything is fine, as far as postfix is concerned: all email to marco at domain1.net goes in that mailbox, dovecot sees it, etc... Now I need

Hello, I've read on several howtos that one way to make ssh more secure, or at least reduce the damage if somebody breaks in, is to NOT allow direct ssh login from root, but allow logins from another user. So you have to know two passwords in order to do any real damage. Does this make sense? IF yes, what is the right way to create an user only for this purpose, that is one that can only

Hello, about one hour ago, I did a "yum update" on a remote centos 4.3 server.

Hello All!!! I was wondering if you can help me little bit.... I am trying to help (voluntary service) a country side school (Aboriginal community) in Northern Queensland Australia setup lab infrastructure, it's a very remote school and they don't have enough funds to go commercial The school has only till grade 6 They have 25 machines that was bought out of the

Hello, I have not clear, due to the new syntax, how to configure dovecot 1.0 to listen only for the following combinations of ports and services: no pop3, from whatever host accept imap connections only if coming from localhost (since I understand this is secure _and_ the only way to make squirrelmail talk to dovecot) listen on the internet only for imaps and pop3s connections, accept them

I always get the messages of this list in a digest format. This is bad to handle, esp. if you want to answer a question found in the digest. Does everyone else also get the list as a digest? Is there a way to switch to single messages? If not how do I easily answer messages which the subject correctly set? Or how do I automatically split the digest into the separate messages? For your

Hello List, i switched mailformat from mbox to maildir. Now i have a little problem with procmail/formail and headermanipulation of mails. Here an example: 0 * ^From.*gmx.de | (formail -t -I"procmail: gmx.de") >> /var/spool/mail/xxxxxx So, i can add some different headerlines for later evaluation and the result is attached to inbox. Now i have the problem that i don't know

I'm trying to use procmail and I'm having trouble getting it to set some headers. I have one mailing list that sets ?Newsgroups: in the header and I want to remove it. I have the following test recipe: :0 * ^Subject:.*\<testing * ^(Mime-Version:|Content-) | formail -IMime-Version: -IContent- If I understand it correctly, it should remove the Mime-Verion and Content headers. The

Hi! In the process of making mysystem work again, having just done a reinstall of 6.3 x86_64. I have a considerable collection of procmail recipes for filtering mail in various ways, and since the upgrade none of 'em is working. procmail passes every mail thru spambayes, which gives back a rating on spamminess. this happens, so it's not as if procmail is simply punting. that is

Hi, there is a remote (VPS) Centos 4.2 server which *may* have been compromised. Reinstalling everything from scratch isn't a problem, it may even be an occasion to improve a few things, the question is another. There are backups of necessary shell script, ASCII configuration files and more or less important email (maildir format, if it matters) including messages with binary attachments in
