Stopping Spam With SpamAssasin
Jan 15, 2008Has anyone had any good results using spamassasin? If so, how did you go about setting it up? I was hoping someone would share some real world settings that work.

Stopping SPAM On A Server
Nov 5, 2009Can you control SPAM on a server ? I've got this email account that all receives is SPAM, nothing else. I'd like to eliminate this so it doesn't get any more SPAM.

May 27, 2007We're currently testing Postini after checking with Message Labs, etc and it seemed that Postini was the most highly recommended out of all of them. We shall see, as there does seem to be ALOT that get past their filters with spam level filtering set at their most sensative level.
However, what could I do for accounts with Hosting Firms. We have a couple on Pair, and while they use SA, their filters doesn't seem to be really effective at all. Users can come in over the weekend, and have 5 valid emails out of 200 junk......
BTW, has anyone used any of the spam appliances out there lately.
We tested them about 1.5 years back and none were really effective
SpamAssasin, What Is It? How Do I Use It?
Apr 4, 2007http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/StartUsing
Allright, I have my own server. Which one should I choose?
I also have a reseller account in another server. Which one should I use?
What about if I only have a hosting account with cpanel? Can I use spamassasin?

Allow A Domain In Spamassasin
Jul 6, 2007I've got a VPS with my client on it, I've setup a seperate shared hosting account which is hosting a support ticketing system.
The problem is, spamassasin seems to be classing every e-mail from the shared hosting as spam.
Is there anyway I can tell spam assassin to allow all mail from a certain domain through?
I need this to be server wide, I can't get each client to add the domain to their white list.
Spamassasin On Plesk
Oct 7, 2008My Plesk virtual server doesn't have spamassasin installed as standard. They quoted 200 pounds to have it installed.
I really know nothing of it's effectiveness - serverside. I only have about 10 domains installed, but those users do complain about spam - should I invest in it?

Stopping Site
Jul 6, 2007Currently my site is having a extreme surge in traffic (in and out). My webhost just sent me a warning, saying that my site is generating abusive traffic to the host's network.
Code:
Please be aware that abusive traffic is being generated from your IP, xx.xxx.xx.xxx, directed to our network as seen in the logs below. We have added a Nullroute for this IP on our network for a period up to 24-hours. Please take action to remove and prevent this abusive traffic from being generated. Repeated offenses will result in a permanent Nullroute of your entire network block.

My VPS is using Plesk v8.01 as the control panel. I have purchased my own 3 IPs so I'm sure this is not the case of sharing the same IP with another account.
I've checked the cgi-bin directory but there is nothing there except the usual default file (test.cgi). And I never have the right to alter the cgi-bin directory (can't remove, can't add files).
The traffic surge costs me 10 GB (in) and 5 GB (out) bandwidth a day as opposed to the normal 100~200 MB a day. I haven't ask them the exact form of the abuse. So far, I think my IP has becoming the source of abusive traffic that burdens THEIR server.
I've checked the latest access.log and everything looks normal.
But when I checked using menu Virtuozzo/Traffic Statistics, I can see that the incoming and outgoing traffic are surging up unnaturally (this is the third day).
Hour/Incoming/Outgoing (in MB):
Code:
01 5.61 26.31
02 4.94 25.11

Stopping An Ffmpeg Conversion
Sep 4, 2008I have ffmpeg installed on a webserver. If I enter the command to begin a conversion process, or the command is sent through PHP via exec(), it keeps going until it finishes or runs into an error.
Is there a way to cancel a conversion process after it's been started either through the command line or via PHP exec()?
CSF Too Late Stopping DOS Attacks
Nov 7, 2008I have CSF on my server (configserver security and firewall) and it blocks the IP when my server gets attacked, but it always seems to be a little too late... Apache goes down, even though the IP is blocked. I end up running:
iptables -I INPUT -s xx.xx.xx.xx -j DROP
service httpd restart
And that tends to sort things out... but the thing is, sometimes they still manage to attack and even though csf sends me messages explaining how it is connecting, I can check the "deny IPs" and the ip shows as blocked...
What other software is there (eg. mod_evasive... but how can I install it...) that I can run without harming my server, causing problems with CSF or any problems for that matter and how can I install it?
Stopping Updating Cron.deny
Jun 12, 2007I designed one of my web services so that 'nobody' has to put commands to cron. Unfortunately this thing stops to work from time to time because "someone" is putting 'nobody' back to cron.deny file.
How to stop that?
Apache Keeps Stopping. MULTIPLE Times Per Day!

This is on a VPS machine. None of the other VPS's are having an issue. Just this one.

Stopping A Game Server Remotely
Nov 7, 2008Is there a script or program which I can use to start my game servers remotely? I am giving my friend a free game server, but the problem is that he wants the power to start/stop the server because he wants to update the binaries. I am not looking for a game server control panel, but more like a small script or program that has the power to start/stop the server. The game server I am hosting for him is Team Fortress 2. Also, it has to be free since I am not going to make any profit of this.
Game - Team Fortress 2
OS - Windows 2003 Server
Web hosting - WAMP
Smoothly Moving Vbulletin Without Stopping It
Jul 9, 2007I will move my vbulletin site from one server to another server.
my web data is more than 10G including mysql data, I know I may stop the vbulletin at first and move data. but I am expecting a minimal forum-stop time or no forum-stop time.
My concern is, if I don't stop the vbulletin at first, after I dump sql data out and retore them to the new server, it would be more than 3-4 hours, there must be some new data come in during that period. how may I keep the vbulletin running and move all data to new server?

Most spam are sent to aol.com,gmail.com and cs.com
I'm getting loads of these Mail delivery failed mails:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
The e-mails come from the system/user account e-mail of the domain (usernameDA@domain.com), where DA is Direct Admin.
I think it sent more then 30.000 mails in 2 days.

How can I trace this? What can I do to fix it?
Is it a some crappy written php script?
