I administer a postfix mail server on CentOS 6. Now I want to setup another with similar configuration.
But the postgrey package is no longer available in Epel for this CentOS release as I have seen now: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/postgrey/
- Can you give advice for an alternative setup of greylisting for postfix on CentOS 6?
Postgrey is largely obsoleted by postscreen which comes with postfix versions 2.8 and up. You can get the latest postfix (including postscreen) for CentOS 6 from GhettoForge (www.ghettoforge.org).
Thanks for your help and so quickly :)
I decided to try with current version of postgrey from projects github repository. https://github.com/schweikert/postgrey/releases/tag/version-1.36 as I want to avoid using more 3rd party repos.
Doing the first steps in manual installation (create directory and user) I found out, that I lack from knowledge on "ls" output..
There is a difference that I don't understand.
What does the "." at the right side of the attributes list mean?
directory manually created on the shell: drwxr-x--x 2 postgrey postfix 4096 Apr 22 17:19 /var/spool/postfix/postgrey/
created by package installation: drwxr-x--x. 2 postgrey postfix 4096 Apr 13 16:23 /var/spool/postfix/postgrey
I used this commands to create the first one
# mkdir /var/spool/postfix/postgrey # chmod 751 /var/spool/postfix/postgrey # groupadd --gid 493 postgrey # useradd --system --gid 493 --uid 493 --home /var/spool/postfix/postgrey -M --shell /sbin/nologin postgrey # chown postgrey /var/spool/postfix/postgrey # chgrp postfix /var/spool/postfix/postgrey
Can you give explanation what is causing the difference compared to the package created directory?
