I have a dedicated server which is running CentOS release 5.5
I'm still learning this as I go, but, frustrated at the amount of spam I was getting, I decided to install the Qmail scanner.
I followed the instructions here, all of which seemed to go well.

However, now when I try to send mail I am getting the following error:
The mail server responded: qq temporary problem (#4.3.0).
I am currently running Ubuntu Server 9.10 and followed this HOWTO on setting up my email server.
[url]
Everything seems to work correctly. If I look in the Maildir the emails I send to test are there.
The problem is when I try to sync my email via IMAP from my windows box (on a different network) it doesn't show any of my email nor does it deliver new email. My email app doesn't give any errors nor does the logs on the server.
How can I get it so my email syncs to windows computer? I am sure it is something really small that I am over looking but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I don't know if you need to see any of my config files but I can post them if needed.
I'm migrating a mailserver from an old to a new mailserver. The new mailserver is based on ISPConfig 3.0.6.1. I would like to migrate what spamassassin learnt in the past from the old mailserver to the new one. Now the question:
- The 2 spamassassin versions are different. Is it a problem?
- Can I just migrate the database with this commands???
Code:
sa-learn --backup > sadb.bkp
sa-learn --restore ./sadb.bkp
-how to migrate SpamAssasins Auto White List and all others SpamAssassins databases?
Upgraded my Debian server over the weekend - caught up on all the updates since January. One of them was Spamassassin, which was working fine before (3.2.5). After the upgrade to 3.3.1, it's NOT using Bayes anymore - and I'm now finding 200+ messages for male-enhancement/ED meds, knockoffs of expensive watches and no-study graduate degrees in my Inbox that previously would have gone to /dev/null. I have the following in /etc/spamassassin/local.cf:

I've installed Clamav antivirus from synaptics but I can't find it on any menu now. How can I run it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedDue to all the "fun" I had upgrading spamassassin from 3.2.5 to 3.3.1 on C55 I thought I would detail it here so as to possibly save others from all the frustration I have endured. There are probably a zillion different ways to make this work but this is how I did it and it seems to work well.
1) Acquire spamassassin rpm.
I downloaded several different versions from various sites and had problems with all of them so I ended up grabbing the SRPM from Fedora 13 spamassassin-3.3.1-2.fc13.src.rpm. This of course will not load onto C55 as rpmbuild has changed so I loaded it onto a FC13 box and then TARed the SPEC & SOURCES directories, copied them onto a C55 and built SRPM from there.
2) Install on C55
The new spamassassin requires several updated packages to make it happy.
a) perl-Mail-DKIM greater than 0.31. I cheated and used this one from FC8 perl-Mail-DKIM-0.32-3.fc8.noarch.rpm
b) perl-socket6 that is 2.0 or later. I got this one from DAG perl-Socket6-0.20-1.rf.x86_64.rpm
c) perl-NetAddr-IP that is 4.0 or later. Again DAG saved the day perl-NetAddr-IP-4.007-1.rf.x86_64.rpm
d) the spamassassin of course :)
Actually I built them from the SRPMs as I needed both the 32 and 64 bit packages for various servers.
3) Run sa-update --D to get the latest rules then restart the spamassassin service. For those who do not have access to a FC13 box you can get a copy of the SRPM I made here [URL].
sa-learn throws an error when I try to synch with the database:

I followed this how to document [URL] to install postfix, Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV. My postfix installation is working fine and I can send and receive emails fine. However, it looks like SpamAssassin is not catching any emails. Emails do get passed over to Amavisd as I can see in the logs but ALL Messages comes out CLEAN without being tagged as spam.
As per the document, I did test by sending a test virus email
sendmail -i your-address@example.com < sample-virus-simple.txt.
This is caught and NOT let through so ClamAV is ok but when i send
sendmail -i your-address@example.com < sample-spam-GTUBE-junk.txt
it does get delievered without being detected as SPAM or tagged as SPAM.
As I said, I have followed the documentation dot by dot and hence do not have spamassassin starting up as a service but i guess amavisd starts it within itself as a module.
Also, my postfix version is the one that supports mysql virtual tables which I got from rpmforge.
I have Postfix and Spamassassin setup on Ubuntu Server 9.10. The mail is working perfectly. Spamassassin is correctly marking messages as spam. My problem is with the milter and procmail. On past servers I was able to reject spam based on score via the spamass-milter. For whatever reason I can not get it to work. I have also tried with procmail, again, it does not work. Here are the relative lines in their respective config files:
[Code]....
In the last week email delivery had slowed down to taking approximately 24 hours and investigation has revealed that there were 45000 emails in the mailqueue. I flushed the mailqueue yesterday but mail delivery is slowing down again because emails are again being queued by the thousand.
The mails are mainly spam sent to ficticious users at a genuine domain hosted on the server.
My setup is running Courier IMAP with Postfix, Spassassin is installed along with Amavisd-new but I just don't understand why this has suddenly become a problem based on my setup not having changed for the last 6 months.
Should these spam emails be being discarded by spamassassin before reaching the mail queue? Are my discard score settings too high (6.9)?
Anyone know what version of spam assassin is newer 3.3.1-3 or 3.3.1-52 I would assume 52 is newer but I don't know if once it reaches 99 it going to 2 Example 3.3.1-99 ---- 3.3.1-2 -----3.3.1-21 and so on. I could be completely off but can anyone just clarify if 3.3.1-3 is newer or older than 3.3.1.52
(On a side note does anyone know the difference between spamassassin-3.3.1-3.el5.rfx.i386.rpm and spamassassin-3.3.1-3.el5.rf.i386.rpm?? What does the X mean?) I looked at the release date of .52 and it seems to be in march 2010 whereas .1-3 seems to be in november. oes that seem correct? Does anyone have a direct download to spamassassin-3.3.1-3el5.rf.i386.rpm???
All of my PCs are set up to either run Ubuntu directly, or are dual boot Ubuntu and some variant of Windows. One of the things I like about this is that in the rare instances that I get a virus I can simply boot into Ubuntu and run ClamAV to remove the virus from there.
I have a friend who recently picked up a nasty virus and we are having a hard time getting his machine to boot at all without all sort of strange behaviors. Under that scenario I can't trust Wubi to work correctly. Soo....
Is it possible for me to create a bootable CD, DVD or USB drive from my machine? I'd like to use my machine because I can update the virus definitions before I create the image and then use that to clean his machine.
Have someone used Linux heartbeat to send email when the Slave server becomes the Master? I've read I can configure the MailTo under.
But I really don't know how to do it. I basically need my primary server to send an email when it becomes inactive and all the activities are manage by the secondary node.
start working with SA+Amavis+clamd+postfix+dovecot.will be my filter:spamassassin+amavisd-new+clamd. 1 Server will be my mail server: postfix+dovecot. Like u see, the emails from the outside reach first the filter, latter the mailbox. Now, I have seen in my log files, that if I receive a email to a "unknown user", the filter doesn't detect this and process the email and send it to the mail server. Exist a way to setup the filter to first check if the user exist and them apply all hard work and latter send the email to the mail server

I have a Debian mail server running Postfix, Amavisd-new, Clamav, & Spamassassin. I noticed when I started all the daemons, the mail.log file had some missing decoders which I assume Clamav can't scrub.Was there a missing package for resolving what's causing this notifications in the logs?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis started happening sometime yesterday afternoon on a server that's been trouble free for years.
My Ubuntu update is scheduled to run every month on the 5th, so this was roughly 10 days after that. So it seems to me it's not update related. The only thing I've done on the server lately is update a spamassassin rule which required an amavis restart. That was done earlier in the week.
I've already reviewed issues at [url] and all the conditions are correct for the more recent How to.
I can also confirm that, in fact, /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl does not exist.
I have two servers complaining about ClamAV being outdated:
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.96.1 Recommended version: 0.96.3
Doing an aptitude update says I don't have to upgrade anything. Why is this? Must ClamAV be updated manually?
In short, I've written a bash script (available from github) for configuring and removing instances of clamav-server on Fedora (clamd). It lets you create and remove individual instances with a specific user and port (if you specify them) and will install the required packages if not already present on the system and remove them if you want to. In long, we use Clam AntiVirus as our antivirus protection for Digital Preservation Recorder and talk to it over the default port, 3310 (clamd). Installing the clamav-server package under Fedora however, doesn't actually set up an instance. In fact, it doesn't copy any system configuration files into place at all. This means that the system is left without any working ClamAV server out of the box.
Under Fedora, ClamAV server is configured on a per user basis. This is actually quite important (unless you run as root) because the daemon needs at minimum read access (and we've found also write) on the files/directory being passed for scanning. The instructions on how to configure it are located under /usr/share/doc/clamav-server-[version]/ but I have taken these instructions and written a bash script to configure all of this for you. The script is available from github. It can create or remove an individual instance of clamav-server using a specific username and/or port (if you want to specify them, else it defaults to clamav on port 3310). The script will also install any required packages, if you don't already have them on the system. You also have the option of removing the required packages when you remove an instance. The script now also configures freshclam for you (the definitions updater), which needs to run as your user too.
when a message gets sent to me I always get this message in my maillog. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

Brand new to Linux. Sort of got thrown in front of the bus if you know what I mean. The company I work for has a Linux server running CentOS 5.4 Company uses Linux for their Email, FTP and Web Server. Have been here a few years dabbling in and out of Linux and now that the old Admin has left the company.....I need to learn it ASAP. The server has run pretty solid until today.
The email server runs SendMail and SpamAssasin. Received lots of complaints today regarding extra SPAM. Noticed that SpamAssassin was not running. Tried to restart it through the WebMin tools and got the following error: Starting spamd: child process [3956] exited or timed out without signaling production of a PID file: exit 255 at /usr/bin/spamd line 2588.
I am thinking about buying a domain name and hosting my web server.
I have seen pricing from $8 to $30 a year. Any favorites from fellow ubunters? Also this whole "whois" thing scares me, if I am correct my information I enter when buying the domain is enter into some big pool of information. People can find this information out and dig up important information. url Can I prevent this with private Whois or how do I set it up? This website examples some of my fears with this whole WhoIs thing, url whois/Private-Whois.html Does most/all domain registers come with email or just email forwarding or both? How does that work? At this moment, my only question about Web Hosting is how do I get Website Statistics as in: Stats, web analytics, web traffic stats and more? I will be web hosting through Ubuntu 9.10 gnome.
