I have set up a FC5 postfix mail server using the guide "Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Fedora Core 5)". I just wanted to say thank you for this howto article - i followed the instructions and it all worked first go - it has really saved me a bunch of time. HOWEVER I am trying to work out how to give users the ability to a) configure their own spam setting, and b) optionally have their spam email delivered to a junk email folder, instead of to the inbox. The reading I have done indicates that this is possible, but seems to be pointing to a .procmailrc file, but if I understand it correctly, we arent using procmail for the spam filtering. Furthermore, I think it is possible to configure Amavisd to pick up personalised settings from the database, but I cant figure it out. If anyone has a clue how to do this it would be greatly appreciated.
Hmm.. The problem right off the bat is that on my FC5 box, the /usr/local/src directory exists, but that folder is empty - apt-get src maildrop returns an error "-bash: apt-get: command not found". (This is the very first command on the list.) I have searched for "apt-get" and it is nowhere on the box. This howto appears to be targeted at Debian - does it also properly apply to FC5?
apt-get is for Debian and Ubuntu, for Fedora systems you must use yum (the packages might be named differently on Fedora. To search for a package, use Code: yum search [I]packagename[/I] ).
Trying to follow the instructions on http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_mailfilter except that I am using a FC5 box rather than Debian. I downloaded maildrop from sourceforge (v2.0.3). Managed to run the './configure' command and the 'make' command successfully, however 'make install' failed - the output of 'make install' is as follows...

Has anyone out there actually done this successfully on a FC5 box?
You have not installed your C++ compiler (for some reason known to the developers renamed to g++) yet. Try Code: yum search g++ and next use the install option of yum. You may need more packages along the way.
Cheers - that got things moving; for the record I needed to run Code: yum install gcc-c++.i386 Make Install got a lot further this time - the output is as follows; Code: [root@ajc maildrop-2.0.3]#

I know you said to use the yum installer to do it all, but I have no idea how to do that without an RPM package, and I have no idea how to make the RPM (assuming that is what I would need to do). It feels like I am almost there, but just not quite.....
You're apparently missing the header files, which are in a development package, or maybe libtool is missing. I'm no RedHat user (anymore), so dunno. Maybe using yum to find 'libtool' and install that also?
Well, to round off this thread, I did manage to get all the way through. On an FC5 box, you need to first run: Code: yum install gcc-c++.i386 libtool.i386 libieee1284-devel.i386 libtool-ltdl-devel.i386 libedit-devel.i386 For the gurus out there, I will be honest and say I am not sure which of the libtool packages above fixed my earlier problems, I just know that one of them did! HOWEVER - I still couldnt actually get the system working. Please, oh Please could someone please do up a set of instructions for FC5 to match the original mail setup? btw - thanks martinfst for your help.
