cheoac

any body have a tutorial about how install a mail server???? i have install:
OS: FreeBSD 7.1
web: apache
db: mysql
lang: php5
so i think so that i need a MTA MDA MUA thanks
 
well I've just resently picked DutchDaemon's brain dry over the last few months setting up my mail server, so If you have any Questions at all you can contact me and I'll do my very best to help ya, if not Im sure some of the real experts will be able to help you! cheers! good luck!

my mail server is also running sendmail/procmail/imap/spamassassin/clamav & roundcube as the web interface, and believe it or not but I gave a friend an email account on my server, and he connects to it perfectly fine with windows live mail. oh and roundcubes connection is ssl.
 
Can I ask how you configured your ClamAV with your setup? I have almost the same setup as you except I run Postfix instead of Sendmail. I just installed ClamAV and used Procmail to scan incoming email and if an email is infected it gets moved to the users Junk folder. Ultimately I would like all virus infected email to go to another dedicated AV mailbox that an admin can review occassionally.

Am just curious to compare how you implemented it!
 
Um well. LOL! ok So I just sent a test virus message to myself

blurr-ink# cat clam.cab | uuencode clam2.cab | mail root -s "lego"

I made the quarantine line Bold.

Code:

define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `clmilter,spamassassin')dnl

So the mail didn't get delivered to my mail box and I do see the quarantine line, so It must be working :P lol but ya that's all I've done.... Now I just need to figure out where the quarantined message is LOL cuz I've sent a couple now, I would Also Like to add to my .procmailrc file to have the virus message flaged and sent to junk for verification.....

I use amavisd instead of procmail to filter, but have the same setup as you want - any virus-laden messages are dumped to a separate mailbox. With amavisd, I just added this to /usr/local/etc/amavisd.conf:

Code: 
$mailfrom_notify_admin     = "virusalert\@$mydomain";
$mailfrom_notify_recip     = "virusalert\@$mydomain";



I used a PDF version of this document when setting up my own mail server on FreeBSD 7.1/postfix. It's somewhat old, but very good and focuses on security.
 
I was able to load the link.... its not a pdf.... its a forum page.. would you like me to save the page and upload it as a txt doc??
