I'm trying to install spamassassin on a postfix/dovecot server, running CentOS-6.4, following the instructions at <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd>. I think I have taken all the steps indicated, and the configuration seems to pass the tests suggested, although the response is much more sparse than that described: ------------------------ [tim at alfred ~]$ telnet localhost 10024

I've been following the instrunctions in <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd> for installing Amavisd, Clamav and SpamAssassin on top of postfix/dovecot . Dovecot is working fine, but I want to deal with spam email. (I am using sendmail/dovecot with procmail and spamassassin on another server, but decided to go over to postfix on this server when I saw it is now the CentOS default.)

I run the speedtest from <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/speedtest-cli/> quite often, and find it very reliable. I'm wondering if anyone has developed a version to run the speed test at regular intervals, say every 6 hours, and record the results in a simple database or just a file? I imagine it would be a fairly easy task to modify the Python code to do this, but it would be even easier

I'd like to run a CLI broadband speed tester on my CentOS server. I downloaded "tespeed" from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/tespeed/>. This ran fine under Fedora-19, but failed under CentOS with the message "# reject large message", although from a quick look at the source it did not seem to be using a large test-file. Does anyone know of an alternative CLI

I have a 1.5TB Western Digital hard disk (WD15EADS-00R6B0) on my CentOS-5.7 server, which has become incredibly slow for some operations, eg rsync, BackupPC archive, e2fsck, although it seems to work fine for ordinary file operations, and "smartctl -a /dev/sdb" does not report any errors. For example, running "e2fsck -p /dev/sdb5" on a 250GB partition on this disk took over 24

Is there any point in running NetworkManager on a server? The IP addresses of the two server NICS are fixed (192.168.1.2 and 192.168.2.2 .)

I've been getting a few avahi-daemon errors in /var/log/messages, eg ------------------------------- Jan 11 00:40:24 helen avahi-daemon[12732]: Invalid query packet. Jan 11 00:40:29 helen last message repeated 17 times ------------------------------- (This is

My home server is running CentOS-7.1 I'm running postfix and dovecot on it. I collect email from a few sources with fetchmail and move it to ~/Maildir/cur/ with procmail. Or at least, I did do this. For some reason procmail has stopped doing its job, and the email that I collect is finishing in /var/spool/mail/tim/ I can't work out what has caused this, or what the cure is. I haven't

I'm moving my home network server from a Dell server, which has been having some mysterious problems, to an HP MicroServer. Everything - MySQL, OpenVPN, email (dovecot), httpd, etc - except for openLDAP, which is taking more time than everything else put together. I haven't found any straightforward instructions on this anywhere. The official RedHat document

Does anyone know if the program stunbdc, which prints one's IP address, is available in CentOS-5? It comes with the libnice package in Fedora-11. ------------------------------ [tim at rose ~]$ stunbdc -4 stun.ekiga.net Server address: 75.101.138.128 port 3478 STUN transaction started (timeout 600ms).

Has anyone succeeded in installing CentOS-6.0 by PXEboot. If so, would you say how you did it, please. I tried (on an HP MicroServer), but gave up in the end and used a USB stick installation instead. But I'd be very interested to know how to do it, for the future. Unfortunately I didn't keep a proper note of my PXEboot attempt, but IIRC the problem was that install.img was not found,

Is there any way of turning off the fetchmail warning ---------------------------------- fetchmail: Warning: the connection is insecure, continuing anyways. (Better use --sslcertck!) ---------------------------------- which I get when fetching imap mail from my college department? I know they should get a root certificate, but I'm told they are looking into it, but that could take forever.

I wonder if anyone has CentOS-6 working on an HP MicroServer? I'm having a problem with the graphics driver for the Radeon HD 4200 graphics card. CentOS-5.6 is working fine on this machine; but at present I only have CentOS-6 running in text mode. The graphics card as given by "/sbin/lspci -m" is ------------------------------- 01:05.0 "VGA compatible controller"

I fetchmail on my CentOS-6.2 from 4 servers. One always gives the warning ----------------------------- [tim at grover cron.d]$ fetchmail -a go.tcd.ie fetchmail: Error exchanging credentials 6 messages for tmurphy at go.tcd.ie. reading message tmurphy at go.tcd.ie:1 of 6 (2978 header octets) (2639 body octets) flushed ... ----------------------------- The messages seem to come over OK, so it

I'm almost completely ignorant about samba on Windows machines, In particular I know nothing about Windows permissions, if that is relevant here. I am running BackupPC on a CentOS-5.3 machine. It works perfectly for backing up Linux folders, but I have great difficulty extending it to Windows clients. To be precise, I have a share called "EA Games D" on a machine running Windows XP

I have a strange problem on a CentOS-5.8 machine. I can only login as root. If I try to login with one of the user's names, it hangs for a long time. I thought it hung forever, but I just found that I do login after "su tim" after 5 minutes. It seems that the problem lies in repeated messages in /var/log/messages --------------------------- May 3 12:14:13 helen su: nss_ldap: failed

I bought a very cheap server yesterday - an HP ProLiant micro server for 160 euro (280 euro with 120 cashback, for some reason). But I was surprised when I opened the box to find it didn't come with keyboard or mouse, and doesn't have the old keyboard/mouse sockets, but requires USB versions. Is that the norm nowadays? Is it possible to convert the old keyboard/mouse plugs? Also there is

I'm running CentOS-6 on an HP MicroServer (since this morning) and I'd like to open an non-standard port, for use on a laptop attached to the internet through the server. Do I have to explicitly add an iptables rule? If so, and I want to open (say) udp port 500 , what command should I give? I've always used shorewall in the past, and will probably do so now if the default firewall

Is there a web-interface to dovecot under CentOS-6? I want to create a top-level folder (ie at the same level as Inbox) but this doesn't seem to be possible from KMail running on a remote Fedora-6 laptop. I was browsing through the dovecot wiki, and I saw some pictures which seemed to be from a dovecot GUI, but I could not find the name of this program. Alternatively, can I simply create

I want to clone a small (80GB) disk on my CentOS server to a large (1.5TB) disk, as smart has been giving me warnings of unreadable sectors. Both disks are Western Digital, and WD has a WD version of Acronis True Image. I'm not sure whether to use this or Clonezilla. My worry with Acronis is that I want to keep the original disk, and I'm not sure from the documentation if True Image
