Setup Clam Antivirus & SpamAssassin

July 23, 2007 on 11:45 am | In Linux Admin, command, Qmail | No Comments

I followed the original setup guide (part 14) and will make some modifications here

—————————————————————–

vi /etc/clamd.conf

"Example" - should already be commented out. However, if it is not, make sure that it is commented out (#)
"LogFile" - should be set to /var/log/clamav/clamd.log
"LogTime" - should be uncommmented.
"LogSyslog" - should be uncommented.
"User" - should be set to qscand
"ScanMail" - should be uncommented.

—————————————————————–

Because the user is set to qscand, I have to change the owner and group of /var/log/clamav to qscand. the commands as follow:

chgrp -R qscand /var/log/clamav
chown -R qscand /var/log/clamav

otherwise, it won’t start.

And

I need grant write permission to others, otherwise the virus definition update can’t proceed. the command is:

chmond -R o=rwx /var/log/clamav   (the original permission is rx)

Furthermore, here is the good place to download the latest version of Clamav

Setup Qmail on CentOS 4.4

July 18, 2007 on 10:29 am | In Linux Admin, command, Qmail | No Comments

Although Eric Siegel have done great job on how to setup Qmail on Liunx, I’d like to make a notes on how to setup Qmail on CentOS 4.4 Final.

My system is Linux  2.6.9-55.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Jun 26 14:30:58 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux with full latest updates. And also, I have already installed Apache Friends.

So let me start:

Because of " CentOS is an open source free GNU Linux distribution which aims to be 100% compatible with and based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. " , I choose "Red hat" (from the flavor list)  to start.

————————————————————————-
After I run ./config-fast newemail
I got this  message, it might be useful in the feature.

Now qmail will refuse to accept SMTP messages except to newemail.
Make sure to change rcpthosts if you add hosts to locals or virtualdomains!

Note: newemail is my system’s hostname

In Part 6

For my case (apache friends)

./configure –enable-cgibindir=/opt/lampp/cgi-bin –enable-htmldir=/opt/lampp/htdocs

After configure it, I got
Current settings
—————————————
vpopmail directory = /home/vpopmail
               uid = 507
               gid = 502
       cgi-bin dir = /opt/lampp/cgi-bin
       vqadmin dir = /opt/lampp/cgi-bin/vqadmin
    mysql features = disabled
—————————————

In opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf
after line of "Include etc/extra/httpd-default.conf", add
Include etc/extra/httpd-qmail.conf

Then in /opt/lampp/etc/extra/
create a file named httpd-qmail.conf

and edit this file, add contents as follow:

<Directory "/opt/lampp/cgi-bin/vqadmin">
deny from all
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order deny,allow
</Directory>

In /opt/lampp/cgi-bin/vqadmin/, there is a file .htaccess, edit it as follow

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /opt/lampp/etc/.htpasswd
AuthName vQadmin
require valid-user
satisfy any

and run
chown nobody .htaccess  ( for the apache friends case, the username running apache is nobody)
htpasswd -bc /opt/lampp/etc/.htpasswd admin ‘admin_password’

—————————————————————————

In part 8

after configure
I got

 qmailadmin 1.2.9
            Current settings
—————————————
       cgi-bin dir = /opt/lampp/cgi-bin
          html dir = /opt/lampp/htdocs
         image dir = /opt/lampp/htdocs/images/qmailadmin
         image URL = /images/qmailadmin
      template dir = /usr/local/share/qmailadmin
         qmail dir = /var/qmail
      vpopmail dir = /home/vpopmail
   autorespond dir = /usr/bin
         ezmlm dir = /usr/local/bin/ezmlm
         ezmlm idx = yes
   mysql for ezmlm = yes
              help = no
      modify quota = no
   domain autofill = no
 modify spam check = no
——————————————————————————-
