Re: The future of eFa (poll)

I'd say the User (not admin) part of the GUI is the biggest issue I have. Too much confusion, doesn't look like a normal website (by todays standards).

For admin, you could remove the GUI and just do everything on the shell for all I care. Just stop the bitching from users.

web interface update?

I don't suppose this could somehow get more attention?
https://github.com/mailwatch/MailWatch/issues/1158

IMHO the web interface leaves a lot to be desired.

You're not the first to say that.

1. install centos7
2. run your installer script (non KS).
3. fail.

Sorry. I wish I had a video of the whole thing. I saw there was a long discussion about it previously and figured it was common knowledge.

Re: v4 Beta Login & User problems

I just installed using the eFa v4 Release Candidate 2 build instructions. I couldn't get logged in. It went into a loop while asking me for the "Web Admin Username" and Password. Over and over and over.

Re: EFA v4 Beta

If anyone else is wondering how to do this I think the proper steps are... 1. boot centos 7 iso 2. before the installation boots press tab 3. append "inst.ks=http://dl.efa-project.org/build/4/ksnobuild.cfg" to boot command 4. wait. wait. power on VM after it shuts down. 5. login as root / ...

Re: Next Major release OS version

Where I'm from (visiting and working with lots of different companies) you rarely see a CentOS machine. Running around I see (in order of most common to least common) mostly Ubuntu, Debian, _other_, and finally a CentOS machine on very rare occasion. I've never even seen CentOS 7 in the real world. ...

EFA 2 and 3

So I'm not sure why people gave up on Baruwa. I understand installing it harder, but that's what EFA is for. Going back to to mailwatch is not desirable to me... Its just too crappy. The interface is ridden with obvious bugs, security holes, etc and there is no one maintaining. Going back to the ESV...

Re: baruwa 2.0 install

I'd be tempted to keep the baurwa 2 stuff efa specific and maybe skip the packages?
Not sure what's easiest. :)

Re: baruwa 2.0 install

After hacking around a bit more I found out a few more things. 1. you can make a debian pacakge out of the baruwa-2.0.tar.bz2 no problem with dpkg-buildpacakge. It requires packages that are in debian wheezy/sid or possibly also or instead from baruwa enterprise. not sure. 2. The baruwa 2.0 web inst...

Since this is related to efa-project I figured I'd post how far I got with this. I haven't seen any install instructions for baruwa 2.0 anywhere on google yet. :( Here are some debian squeeze steps. I compared the baruwa requirements to packages and got most of them nailed down: apt-get install pyth...

This should be done the "debian" way I think. These files should be the same. The main file should be in available, and a link to that file should be in enabled. There is a command in debian a2ensite to manage these. root@mailsort:/etc/apache2# diff sites-available/baruwa sites-enabled/bar...

how are people supposed to know they received spam?

So in ESVA, it would email someone with a link to release the spam message each time a spam email was sent to them that was caught by ESVA. How does it work in EFA/Baruwa? So far from my testing and poking around, the user has no way of knowing they received spam unless they login to the web interfa...
