Hi, I have already read the other posts related to same issue and googled enough, but no clear and direct how to, and I just got my ispconfig 3 installed on a vps and I am so afraid to miss things up. So as title says how to disable all 3 services( SpamAssassin and ClamAV and amavis), as I only need the apache and mysql service on this vps for a high traffic web site, no email options is needed, and when ever things change i can re-enable what I need of them. Help is apriciated alot. Thank you all.
Disable the mail module in ispconfig3 under System/Edit Server and than shutdown the services on the server.
Hi, first of all thank you for your kind reply, but I only need to disable these 3 services, I need the mail module running, just in case, I only need to free up the ram that these 3 services consume as they run. Thank you.
Hello Darkhoros, I am a Linux noob but I think when you use : "chkconfig --levels 235 amavisd on" "chkconfig --levels 235 clamd.amavisd on" to start ClamAV and Amavis at bootup and: "/etc/init.d/amavisd start" "/etc/init.d/clamd.amavisd start" to start ClamAV and Amavis again when manualy stopped. You can use: "chkconfig --levels 235 amavisd off" "chkconfig --levels 235 clamd.amavisd off" to prevent ClamAV and Amavis starting at bootup.
Hi, Thank you for your reply, it gave me some light. ok I used this to stop current running services. server# /etc/init.d/amavis stop server# /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop server# /etc/init.d/spamassassin stop they stopped and free about 150 MB of ram, very nice, I then editied the apache2.conf file and raise its resources, things went much better from there. I think using your way to exclude them from start up on boot will work once I change the services name, but I will try this later once I make sure that every thing is stable with my setup. Again thank you for lighting the way for me.
Isn't there a way to deactivate these 3 services and leave mail function working? When I simply stop the services, mails are deferred or rather aren't delivered. I want to use Mail but have no need for spam and virus checking.
Hi phor, I have the same problem as you have and I make some tests about howto disable Amavis on ISPConfig 3. Here is what you have to do to achieve this: Edit: /etc/postfix/main.cf Coment this two lines: content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 receive_override_options = no_address_mappings Looks like this: #content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 #receive_override_options = no_address_mappings Edit: /etc/postfix/master.cf And comment all lines bellow: amavis unix - - - - 2 smtp Looks like this: #amavis unix - - - - 2 smtp # -o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200 # -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes #127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - - - - smtpd # -o content_filter= # -o local_recipient_maps= # -o relay_recipient_maps= # -o smtpd_restriction_classes= # -o smtpd_client_restrictions= # -o smtpd_helo_restrictions= # -o smtpd_sender_restrictions= # -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject # -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8 # -o strict_rfc821_envelopes=yes # -o receive_override_options=no_unknown_recipient_checks,no_header_body_checks # -o smtpd_bind_address=127.0.0.1 Now stop amavis-new and clamd: /etc/init.d/amavis stop /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop Now disable amavis and clamd form starting on system boot: chkconfig --levels 235 amavis off chkconfig --levels 235 clamav-daemon off chkconfig --levels 235 clamav-freshclam off Now you can restart postfix: /etc/init.d/postfix restart And you have working postfix without Amavis and Clamd. Good Luck.
