    PostGrey v1.27 for FC6 ?

    Hi,

    I was using successfully postgrey for a while on FC4 and it really cuts on spam,
    now I upgraded to FC6 and this tutorial doesn't work for me because I can't find /etc/default/postgrey is that because I installed using rpm from here ? and not used apt-get install postgrey ?

    Thanks!

    I just re-installed postgrey using apt-get install postgrey command, and /etc/default/postgrey is still not visible.

    I think that tutorial is based on Debian, so it won't work on Fedora. Probably the Postgrey configuration is somewhere else on Fedora. You can try and run
    Code:
    updatedb
locate postgrey
    to find the file(s).

    falko,

    Thanks for helping me with this!
    with that tutorial beeing for debian /etc/default/postgrey does not exists on fedora,

    Code:
    [root@linux ~]# locate postgrey
/etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_clients
/etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_clients.local
/etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_recipients
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgrey

    but I was able to find this tutorial,
    so I found OPTIONS="--unix=$SOCKET" in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgrey so I changed it to OPTIONS="--unix=$SOCKET --inet=127.0.0.1:60000 --delay=59"
    then I added check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:60000 to
    /etc/postfix/main.cf at smtpd_recipient_restrictions = line
    so that it looks like this
    Code:
    smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination,check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:60000
    I made a test a excluded scd.yahoo.com from /etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_clients file then I tried sending mail and it got rejected?

    Code:
    Jul 27 23:36:51 linux postfix/smtpd[2487]: connect from web34805.mail.mud.yahoo.com[209.191.68.169]

    I found sqlgrey which is same as postgrey but it can use mySQL DB, looks good,
    installed it using step # 7. Setup Grey Listing
    Will post review after couple of weeks.
