All,
I'm putting up a new email server, but I can't afford downtime when I switch servers. So, I've been writing a script that will take a CentOS install and turn it into a secure email server with Spam Assassin, Amavis-new, ClamAV and external relay using SASL authentication.
I'm also doing a new server at the moment. Postfix, spamassassin, courier-imap, ClamAV, ClamSMTP, Maildrop, Squirrelmail.
- I have *no* idea whether or not Vipul's Razor is working or not.
I suppose you use this at spamassassin time. Add '-D' to your spamd options (/etc/init.d/spamassassin) and see in your logfiles. I maded RPMs myself from the spamassassin tar and noticed the dependency on the perl-DB_File package was not specified in the spamassassin spec. You need that however (at least if you are doing spamassassin at local delivery time like I do)
See, that's the problem. amavisd-new shows in the /var/log/maillog that it's picking up spam assassin, whether the spamd daemon is running or not. It seems to flag spam whether the spamd is running or not. And I don't see any spam assassin headers that I recognize from earlier versions of SA.
So, I don't know if amavis is just running the spam assassin code directly, or what. And I haven't been able to find much documentation on the subject.
On another note, I went with dovecot instead of courier, since dovecot supports Maildir, which I've been wanting to use. my mbox files are *huge*.
I'm not familiar with Maildrop, is it a procmail alternative?
Thanks!
Ben
