Re: honeypot

That's an interesting idea. The problem is that you don't want to assume that every email sent to a honeypot is spam, because some of it may not be. So I am not sure how this would work.

Spam assassin has an auto learn feature already built-in, though.

For recipients, you may be able to disable all notifications by removing the report definitions. Note that I have not tried this. Back up your config before emptying these entries.

Re: RBL's

Actually, it may be better to specify an RBL in postfix and stop the email from entering the system...

Here's the default in /etc/postfix/main.cf for zen.spamhaus.org...

Code: Select all

smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org

Re: Quarantine Reports not appearing in Exchange Mailbox

I have determined that the local user does not interfere with delivery.

On my system, another user was assigned the postmaster role, so I was not receiving alerts.

Feel free to share your configuration steps and I will try to reproduce.

Re: Warning email for removed attachments

That seems accurate, although I have not tested it.

You can also modify the report sent. Look in /etc/MailScanner/reports/en for the reports.

Gmail and the like perform reverse lookups on your MX record. Make sure you have a public PTR record for your MX.

Re: Archived mail with status of Other

It is important to monitor the performance of your system under high load.

Also, a good rule of thumb is to have no more than 1-2 MailScanner children per processor. Too many MailScanner threads spawning will overload the system and things will start crashing.

Re: Quarantine Reports not appearing in Exchange Mailbox

I am tracking another issue where it appears that if a local user on EFA is present with the same name as on the mail server, the reports are never delivered. Does this coincide with your issue?

Re: Quarantine reports not being delivered

Do you have administrator on your local EFA as a local user?

I am noticing a similar problem where I have a postmaster on my EFA, but I also have a postmaster on my mail server.

I am troubleshooting this. My theory is that EFA is not queuing it out because of the presence of the local account.

Re: Restrict Archive Messages to Spam

Yes, you will need to reconfigure MailScanner as follows:

In /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf change the following from store to delete.

Code: Select all

High Scoring Spam Actions = delete

Code: Select all

sudo service MailScanner restart

Re: EFA is spamming me

ssh into your EFA as your user you set up initially (not root) and run Spam Settings Option 9 then Option 2

(/usr/local/sbin/EFA-Configure should run automatically upon login, if not, run this script with sudo)

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/local/sbin/EFA-Configure

Re: Hello from Oz

Greetings! Yep, you can install to a VPS. What you need to do is install CentOS 6.5 x64 and review the ks.cfg and install all the packages listed/configure as it describes. https://github.com/E-F-A/v3/tree/3.0.0.4/build After that, fetch the build.bash as shown at the bottom of ks.cfg and run it.

You may find after running E.F.A. for a while that you may need more capacity. Here's a how-to. 1) Shutdown MailScanner to halt mail processing sudo service MailScanner stop 2) Recommend a full backup before proceeding. (Don't snapshot, you won't be able to resize the disk...)

I am also curious about your CPU and memory utilization. Mine was crashing due to memory/CPU exhaustion (from too many threads). I wonder if your system is a busier one, maybe it needs more horsepower assigned to it?
