Hi Currently my Mail Server is Mercury32 on a Windows 2003 Server, with ClamAv, SpamHalter, Content and Transaction Filtering. I've followed this HowTo : http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-us...ail-ubuntu8.10 and now have Postfix, Courier, MySQL, SquirrelMail, SMTP-AUTH, TLS , Quota, Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV installed. All went quite well apart from 2 typo's from me I've installed this in a virtual Ubuntu 8.10 desktop edition. I'm currently waiting for DNS entries to update on an old domain I have to test this properly, but things are looking OK at the moment. Seems to be working well, but I have a couple of questions.. 1. How do I tell if ClamAV is up to date ? How do I get FreshClam to update daily. 2. Can I add more DNSBL entries to either PostFix or SpamAssassin ? 3. Is it possible to block hosts who don't have properly formed domain name in the ehlo/helo ? But have a couple of exceptions (for family) ? 4. Is there any way to have the system move 'spam' or potential spam to another user for checking through later ? 5. Any way to monitor all the logs in a simpler way ? using System Log shows lots of info, but most of it is mixed in with other entries. Thanks
AFAIK freshclam is updating daily. I think you can configure this in freshclam.conf. Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/block_spam_at_mta_level_postfix I'm not sure if exceptions are possible. You can specify a quarantine user in the amavisd configuration. The mail logs are in /var/log/mail.log.
Thanks for the reply. Do you know where the default locations for clam.conf / freshclam.conf are ?? Also where amavisd conf is ? Thanks again.
I've found the conf files thanks. Quick question is this setup using clamav or clamd ? How easy would it be to make it use clamd ? I've installed SafeSquid and that can use clamd as well. Thanks
Ahh.. # How can I tell what port it is running on ? Also is there anyway to get more logging output from amavis-new or clamd ? Whilst I'm testing this it would be nice to see a lot more detail on anything that has been scanned and/or blocked. Just need to work out how to add the exceptions to Postfix.. Hopefully that can be done. Thanks
I'm not sure if you can put amavisd and/or clamd in debugging mode. If it is possible, there should be something mentioned about it in the configuration files.
Thanks for the reply. How do I check clamd is running ? doing netstat -tap doesn't show any ports in use by clamd !!
