The mail server is now protected against spam and viruses.
#Spamassassin appliance update
The SpamAssassinservice, which starts spamd, can be set to off as Amavisd-new doesn't actually use the SpamAssassin daemon (spamd) but rather loads SpamAssassin as a module.īecause ClamAV database signature may be outdated, you can manually update by using the command freshclam. o receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks,no_unknown_recipient_checks,Įdit the file /etc/postfix/main.cf and enable message filtering in Postfix adding the line: # use amavisd as filter on port 10024Ĭontent_filter=amavisfeed::10024Įnable Amavisd and ClamAV services to start during system boot. o smtpd_data_restrictions=reject_unauth_pipelining o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject This might seem like a idiotic question so please forgive me if I missed something but really, I cant find it. $mydomain = '' Įdit the configuration file /etc/postfix/master.cf to tell Postfix to pass mail to Amasvid-new for filtering. Where is the link to the OVA file with the Zimbra appliance I have searched everywhere. Set the domain and hostname of the network environment.

# $bypass_decode_parts = 1 # controls running of decoders&dearchivers 1)will all the configurations that are made in this appliance disappear if I just uninstall and reinstall the ports 2)will i lose my config right now 3)are there particular steps that i should be taking to get these ports updated properly (im asking this because i read that spamassassin needs to be updated from version 2.x to 3.0 before. # = (1) # controls running of anti-spam code # = (1) # controls running of anti-virus code
#Spamassassin appliance install
# yum install amavisd-new clamav clamav-devel clamd spamassassinĮdit the configuration file /etc/nf and set ClamAV to communicate with Amavisd-new using a local UNIX socket rather than TCPSocket by commenting the TCPSocket 3310 parameter.Įdit the configuration file /etc/amavisd/nf and remove, if needed, the comment (#) to disable spam or virus checking. Once configured the RPMforge repository in the system, install all the necessary packages using the yum command.

The working concept is pretty easy: Amavisd accepts mail from Postfix (MTA), pass it to ClamAV and SpamAssassin to check for spam and viruses and then return the mail back to Postfix for delivery. To secure Postfix mail server from spam and viruses, software like Amavisd, ClamAV and SpamAssassin can be a good solution.
