Linux Server-wide Anti-spam Solution
May 2, 2007
for a server-wide anti-spam solution I can implement on a Linux server. The mail queues are constantly getting backlogged with thousands of messages which bring the servers to a crawl. There are really two issues the solution needs to address.
1) Spam
2) Spam sent to other people that have the from address forged with our clients' email addresses.
We have spam assassin installed for individuals to use, but there's got to be some sort of solution that can clear out the vast majority of the junk before it even gets to the queue.
It probably goes without saying, but the solution needs to be open-source or have a very inexpensive license.

I am running Win2003 server with Plesk 8.3. Antivirus running is F-Prot. Me and my clients have been getting a lot of spam emails and I am looking for suggestions on how to stop them. Plesk seems to provide some options for checking blacklisted spam servers but I was not too satisfied with the result. Maybe I was not looking up the right urls?
So, any suggestions on blocking the spam would be welcome. I am ready to pay for it too...but I am on a very tight budget. A free solution would be the best for me at the moment.
I also used SpamAssasin for a time being but it did not work out to any of my client's satisfaction even after a month's "training" of SpamAssasin.

It is possible to have anti-virus and anti-spam enabled by default when we go to "CREATE E-MAIL ADRESS" -> "SPAM FILTER" / "ANTI-VIRUS" is always disabled.

We recently had a problem with a mail spammer. He sent over 90,000 emails and had 20,000 in the queue. Is there anyway to possibly stop this as it was really lagging the server bad. So bad the softlayer took it offline for a while...

Just in the process of upgrading to new box Plesk 12 (Ubuntu 14.04LTS). ON the previous (plesk 10) I was able to disable ftp services by editing /etc/xinetd.d/ftp_psa - this doesn't seem to be an option now. How to do this on plesk 12?

I have been trying to enable server-wide compression using deflate.My server is running a fresh install of plesk panel 11 installed over a fresh centos 6 64. The configs and settings (aside from files I mention) have not been changed at all from default.
I have created a new file in /etc/httpf/conf.d/deflate.conf This file is being included when Apache is restarted, so that's definitely working and the html doc compresses. But not matter what I do (I have tried every combination Google would find) css and js files will not compress. At my previous workplace we also used a Plesk server and nobody could ever get compression working there either.

I am interested in ASSP as a anti-spam tool and have heard good things, but I have 1 question I can't seem to find an answer too.
With ASSP is there a way to screen image spam like you can with FuzzyOCR? With ASSP do you even need to scan images at all? Because it waits for the sending server to respond for authentication?
I was running MailScanner / SpamAssasin / FuzzyOCR combo with a couple of chron jobs (to sweep fake bounce email out of the mail que for example) with very effective results, but it took forever to tweak all three to reduce server load. MailScanner was breaking webmail randomly so I have it disabled currently so I get a lot more spam.

I thought I should share this among all.
You will find many Anti spam blocker tools available in market. I recently come to know about[url]
. It’s an excellent tool to encrypt your email account if you use to display it on your website.
Generally, spammers uses robots (some kind of crawler) to get email accounts from websites. Once they get it they start selling it to other spammers and will start sending spoofing emails.
This tool will help you to encrypt your email address and stop spam coming from your website

Does anyone have any experience to share concerning these devices?
I'm having some serious spam issues and would like to look into a better approach to preventing this than the typical SpamAssasin solution bundled with cPanel, Plesk and so on. SA seems rather inefficient, needs a lot of training, can get a lot of false positives, tends to break now and then, and so on.
Have any of you used either the Barracuda or the MailFoundry applicances, or even better - compared them first hand? Are there any similar solutions out there, perhaps cheaper/more cost effective in the long run?
$2000-3000+ for the hardware and around $500 a year for an anti-spam solution is a little steep in my opinion. Especially considering the old and cheap hardware for an example MailFoundry uses. How accurate they actually are in terms of false positives is also seemingly debated. MailFoundry promises a near 0 false positive rate, while some user-experiences suggest somewhere between 6-10% - which could represent an issue just as problematic as spam itself. Nobody wants to lose out on important email. To spend such an amount on a device and updates, it certainly needs to be worth it. Is it?
Are there any equally good or better software based solutions out there, that one could for an example use to set up a custom anti-spam server using existing hardware at the DC?

I currently have a client who is experiencing a high amount of spam using Lxadmin. I was curious if anyone had any tips on things that they do to limit the amount of spam. The spam tool that comes with Lxadmin is "interesting" and in my opinion a pain to use.

I have been running my own spam protection on a dedicated server for a few years now. On the whole I probably catch 95% of spam.
Having just built a new server to replace my old one I'm keep to re-evaluate how I filter spam.
I am particularly interested in 3rd party filtering via MX records (why bother using my resources when I can pay someone a small amount to do a much better job than me?).
Can you recommend any providers?
I have used Postini in the past and like them but I can't find many resellers (I've seen a few references to $1 accounts on WHT..?)
I need a solution for approx 10 domains and 4 actual mailboxes (with quite a few aliases across all domains per mailbox).

I have a Bash script that deletes Spam from all users .Spam mailboxes that is older than X number of days
Currently I just list the paths to each mailbox i.e.
/var/vmail/Domain1.com/Mailbox1/.Spam/* -type f -mtime +5 -exec rm {} ;
/var/vmail/Domain1.com/Mailbox2/.Spam/* -type f -mtime +5 -exec rm {} ;
/var/vmail/Domain2.com/Mailbox1/.Spam/* -type f -mtime +5 -exec rm {} ;
/var/vmail/Domain2.com/Mailbox2/.Spam/* -type f -mtime +5 -exec rm {} ;
This is becoming unmanageable as the number of mailboxes grows I have to add each to my script
I tried putting wildcards in i.e.
/var/vmail/*/*/.Spam but this does not work
Is there a way to do this? Maybe running some kind of command to create an array of paths then looping through them?

Seems like I'm having considerable problems with APF's antidos feature. I keep getting legit users banned from my site, and don't know how to stop it (other than disabling antidos altogether, but I guess there should be another way).
I've already set:
TRIG="100"
SF_TRIG="100"
...in the antidos configuration file but I'm still seeing more and more legit IPs getting added to ad.rules. I've read that raising or lowering LN="100" is the other tweak I should try, but there simply is no such value defined in my conf.antidos file.
Another thing I noticed that, although I only got two notification mails telling me about "attackers" blocked by antidos, there are roughly 40 entries in ad.rules. As a matter of fact, I don't understand what antidos is doing there in the first place. Seems like iptables doesn't log to var/log/messages anyway, at least not on my machine - so where is antidos getting those ips from?

I have a server runnning WHM/cPanel and want to purchase an SSL certificate that I would set up on a specific domain. ex: secure.myserver.com, and then allow individuals hosted on my server to use that domain (instead of their own) for SSL purposes, if they didn't want to purchase their own certificate. (ex. They would use: secure.myserver.com/~customer/myfile.php)
My question is, what kind of SSL certificate would be appropriate for this. Could I purchase a single-root certificate from RapidSSL and set it up on that domain?

i have a server with whm/cpanel and would love to have custom error pages that work server wide not just for a specific domain. I have tried adding the "ErrorDocument 404 errors/404.htm" to the httpd.conf file but it doesn't work.
I have no trouble getting custom errors to work for a specific domain but can't seem to get it to work server wide.
Has anyone else tried to tackle this and actually had success?

I have installed ssls before but this is a once a year task and each time it comes up again I have to learn it all over again
When would I use a wild card *.mydomain.com as apposed to just mydomain.com
I hear talk also of a server wide ssl how is this possible do you create the ssl for the IP rather than the domain
What is the best way to do this on a dedicated box with WHM/cpanel to where my users have secure access to their webmail, cpanel client area etc.
I've searched the forums but i dont see much on the different uses of ssls just instructions on installation

"What anti-virus do you use on your postfix email server powered by Plesk?".Is there an anti-virus program that can be installed on Plesk version 12.0.18 as an extension or component? I need it primarily for protection of incoming email from malware.I've seen in Add or Remove Components in the Mail hosting features that I have installed Kaspersky antivirus, but I didn't seen anywhere that it actually can be configured from within Plesk. It also, as far as I can see, doesn't do anything. what is Kaspersky antivirus used for in Plesk and how can I configure it?
