I like this unofficial survey of hardware but wondering what MTA and spam filtering everyone is using. I do front end spam filtering for other servers as well. (junkemailfilter.com) I'm using Exim 4.61 SpamAssassin 3.11 Some version of DSpam that I'm experimenting with Most of my spam filtering happens on the Exim level. My mail spam filter server is: AMD 3800 Dual Core Athlon 2 100gb

I know it is not dovecot who should fix this. But anyone using dovecot is using an MTA, and receiving spam ;) I know how to look at email headers. Spf and dkim is not solving anything here. -----Original Message----- From: Sebastian Nielsen [mailto:sebastian at sebbe.eu] Sent: donderdag 11 juni 2020 10:23 To: Marc Roos; 'dovecot'; 'users' Subject: SV: handling spam from

Hi, I have done configuration dovecot/exim/samba4ad. I use dovecot-lda not exim to deliver mail. And dovecot to authentify users. I have users with mail address on AD. When i sent mail to user mail address, its working. I have distribution group or group with mail address on AD and users as member of this groups. But when i send mail to group mail address, its not working Dovecot-lda can

Hi I would like to set up a local mailserver but I'm getting lost with all the available options. As I have already decided to use dovecot I hope someone here will be able to point me to the right docs/HOWTO's/... Here's my wish-list: 1) download mail from my ISP's POP3-server 2) scan with spamassassin 3) scan with ClamAV 4) filter messages (mailing lists/sender/...) 5) store

Hi all, I've never really wanted to create my own MTA, because I like Postfix quite a lot. And I always thought it would require a horribly lot of time to be able to create something that was anywhere even close to having Postfix's features. (I would shudder to even think about recreating Dovecot from scratch nowadays.) But slowly over time I've also been thinking of ways how things

I only have one Postfix server running at the moment and have some questions. On that install, I did Amavisd-new with ClamAV, SpamAssassin, Postfix and Dovecot. I know this is a bit off topic, but I'm really hoping for performance guidance. Is the added layer of complexity running Amavis worth the effort on a system with moderate mail flow? Or should I just go down the path of getting

Yes, I've been reading /. :) But this isn't the first time this has occured to me. With all the security vulnerbilties, would it be unreasonable to either change the default MTA from sendmail to Exim/Qmail/Postfix, or give people the option of installing something instead of Sendmail at install time? -- Avleen Vig "Say no to cheese-eating surrender-monkeys"

Hi, I successfully configured dovecot using virtual users (and LDAP/AD). deliver is the LDA and verifies if the user exists (as recommended in the WIKI). However, the howtos in the Wiki say *nothing* about the case that the recipients should be verified *before* receiving the messages (prevent backscatter, ...). All configurations in the dovecot-Wiki (postfix and exim) just accept the mails

Hi I know i might get flamed for asking this in the dovecot mailing list instead of the spamassassin one but i thought someone might be kind enough to help anyway. TIA I'm trying to do site-wide spam filtering with a public namespace but it's not reading the folder i have in the public namespace This is the public namespace set in my dovecot.conf #public spam folder namespace public

Hi all, I''ve been reading up on Puppet but there are a few things I am unsure of, and I''m hoping someone here can advise. As I understand it the idea behind Puppet is to describe how a machine should be configured in a single place, and then let Puppet handle the actual set up of the machine. How specific is this? For example, I use Exim as an e-mail MTA, with some custom

Dear list! I'd like to know if some- one has experience with system running no mta (aka sendmail). I have single comp, not server, not lan. Yes! Sendmail is nice, but it is too big for simple tasks I have for it. My intention is to use apps small as possible. This letter gone from mutt directly to ssmtp, that processed it to my isp. (Setting option for sendmail as

We are receiving LOTS of emails that contain empty XLS or DOC documents with embedded virus macros. These are getting past SPAMASSASSIN, Clamav and Kaspersky. I'm trying to write a filter for EXIM to block these emails but I need to know a good, quick, command-line to detect an empty doc with a macro. Is there anything available that I can use?? I have managed to write a PERL script to

All, For a production environment, I'd like to setup CentOS XEN guests as lightweight as possible. I'd like the XEN guests to be able to send nightly email as all CentOS servers do, but there is no reason to run a mail server as the CentOS Dom0 already has an email server running that can act as an email smart host. The options that seem most appealing to me are either ssmtp or sendmail

Is anybody using mailavenger on a CentOS system? If so, could you post your experiences? Like quality of the program, server loads and number of email messages processed and power of server.. Those sorts of good info things. http://www.mailavenger.org/ This looks really sweet! Fighting spam before the smtp process and it looks like it works with just about any MTA. So, it could reject
