which one of these three spam scanners is the best one Spamassassin, dspam or mailscanner?
Currently i ahve spamassassin installed and it doesnt perform so well,i get 10+ mspam messages per each normal message.
Is there any way to define black lists for a specific domain?
Like, a file for each user: user1.cf, user2.cf.
And when that user receives email, Mailscanner will check server-wide filter AND domain specific filter.
Any advanced MS/SA users?
How can have clamv antivirues as auto protect mode in whm/cpanel server?
We need to configure clamv as auto protect.
I need to clean up the .spamassassin directory for all the accounts on the server. The Bayes files are getting too big and causing mail handling issues.
How would I do that?
I assume this won't work - and don't want to try it until I hear a little feedback:
rm -f /home/*/.spamassassin/*bayes*
Basically, I need a command that will do what the above command looks like it would do - I just don't think the wildcards will work in that manner, and don't want to try it for fear of deleting items outside of the .spamassassin directory.
I'm running CentOS 5.3.x with cPanel/WHM - if it matters...
And feel free to suggest other spam blocking software - but we've gotten rather good at tweaking SA to get the job done. Just this annoyance of the bayes files growing continuously is a pain sometimes...
I installed ClamAv from WHM, but i can see some process name "Mail Scanner" in top command on my CentOs server ....

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking into implementing an antivirus/spam relay server using Postfix + MailScanner + SpamAssassin. Does anyone here have experience with this kind of solution?
What kind of rough performance in messages/hour or messages/day could I expect from a server like this:
PowerEdge 2950
2x QuadCore Xeon E5320 (1.8GHz)
8GB RAM
4x 146GB 15,000rpm SAS in RAID 10
I've downloaded and installed MailScanner using:
[url]
Now.. can anyone tell me a good "how to" to configure MailScanner to avoid a resource hog and to ensure email can work ok and stop incoming spam as well?
Recently installed MailScanner using chirpy's script. Everything is fine.. but the big problem is that the load average is very high after installed this software.
Server is RedHat ES 4 + cPanel - Dual Xeon CPU 3.20GHz x 4 procs. 2 GB RAM with high e-mail traffic.
Can anyone give me some tips to configure MailScanner to stop spam and avoid a high load average?
Maybe you can tell me what variables are u using in the config file..
My sever is running mailscanner-4.56.8-1. Of late many of our customers complain that mails send To and From our server take hours to be delievered.
I tested this myself by sending test emails to and from my hotmail account which took long time to be received and delivered.
Also, in /var/log/maillog i see entries such as the one below;
"Jan 4 20:39:36 www MailScanner[8461]: New Batch: Found 17678 messages waiting "
So i understand there is about 18 thousand emails in MailScanner /var/spool/mqueue.in folder.
To test i stopped MailScanner and started Sendmail, i send an email to my hotmail id and it got delievered immediately, but when i restart MailScanner and resend the same message it took 20mins to get delievered.
- how do i improve MailScanner processing so that messages are delivered faster?
- Do i need to change the "Max Children = 5" variable in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf?
- how do i force delivery of the 18thousand emails in mqueue.in folder?
My main goal was stopping incomingo spam.. and MailScanner is doing a great work on that.. but, it is taking too much time extracting and scanning attachments... does anyone know how to disable scanning the attachments ?
This is my top output from MailScanner running:
Code:
12:10 3 MailScanner: extracting attachments
I was trying to install mailscanner on a cpanel box using chirpy's script [url], followed every step, until this:
Code:
[root@server.yourbox.com:~]perl mscpanel.pl -i
Unable to open spam.scanning.rules for reading: file or directory doesnt exist at mscpanel.pl line 115.
On the 115 line i found this:
Code:
open (IN, "</usr/mailscanner/etc/rules/spam.scanning.rules") or die "Unable to open spam.scanning.rules for reading: $!";
The file /usr/mailscanner/etc/rules/spam.scanning.rules just doesnt exists... maybe chirpy's script is not working well installing everything its needed..
I'm running the latest port version on FreeBSD of Postfix, Spamassassin (Razor & Pryzor), ClamAV, and Amavisd-new. I haven't gotten any spam for a while. The 2-3 days including today i've been getting 10+ spams per day. This seemed to happen after the update of spamassasin recently.
Anyone else experiencing this? My rules are pretty quick, at spam-score "5" I reject the mail.
I installed SpamAssasin and set it up in DA, I also use Spam Filter option in DirectAdmin (DA).
The problem is that if someone send me an email which contains any adult word in the body and a regular subject then it will not go to the Spam box, but if that email contains any adult word in the subject and no matter the body has adult word or not it will go to Spam box.
How do i send all the emails contain adult word in body to Spam box?
i have Dovecot installed.
Hi i'm trying to use spamassassin from each user using .qmail from each mail user but i can't it dosen't works. Also i wish to know if i have any rule on spamassassin to check some words like sex viagra ,etc and if it's found it will delete it.

On step 3 of the tutorial, we are asked to change things in the /etc/exim.conf file, what is the proper command to navigate to this file and how to replace those text?
Quote:
The global spamassassin config file is in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
You'll want to make sure that you have the correct call to spamc in the spamcheck transport in your exim.conf:
transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u ${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}
For the lines i quoted, im not sure what i have to do here and how to do it.
Lastly how do i know if im installing latest version of spamas and how to test weather it is working against spam?
some good hosts that use more than just SpamAssassin (SA) for their spam filtering?
For instance, MediaTemple uses the Cloudmark plug-in, which greatly improves the stopping of spam. SA out of the box is horrible; and yes, I realize that with some tweaking it "can" be good.
I am setting up spam assassin white list and it says I can put *@domain.com so does that mean it will white list everything from domain.com ?

I have a server, SpamAssassin is installed but i disabled it, because i don't work with this, i'm getting a day about 1000 spam messages.
what to do to stop this?
I am using cPanel 11 one of my Linux server with O.S. as Fedora core 4. For one of my websites I had enabled spam assassin a few days before. But now I want to disable it but not getting any option to do so.

there is a quota problem , i have checked my server

(Specially : auto_whitelist)
I have a dedicated server. It is a Fedora Core 6. It came with "Plesk 30 domain license". However, this license of Plesk doesn't have SpamAssassin enabled. In order to get the license with SpamAssassin, it costs an extra $30 a month.
I believe SpamAssassin by default is in fact installed on the sever, but some of my users are reporting that they are getting Spam. How can I check is SpamAssassin is running? How do I configure SpamAssassin to filter spam on all the e-mail addresses that are created in Plesk?
I have SSH access to the server.
I want to setup Remote Spamassassin for Smartermail server. I want to the setup the spamassassin on a linux box. Can anybody help me with this as I am not getting any definitive guide for the same?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe problem I currently have is that all e-mails tagged by SpamAssassin as spam are deleted even though they are supposed to be moved to a different "probably-spam" file. In addition, I'd like to use the spamc + spamd configuration and I'm not using it now.
I tested that procmail is installed on my CentOS 5 server that's also using sendmail.
yum remove spamassassin // In case it is pre-installed. It was the last time I did this.
// Download it at spamassassin.apache.org:
wget [url]
tar xvfz Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.3.tar.gz
cd /Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.3
