Well, I'm back online after tossing dovecot for dbmail. The transition was much
easier than I expected except that I had one stupid setting and lost a ton of
email. I'm still alive so I probably won't miss it that much -- there's a
tarball somewhere.
After sorting through a lot of notes there are a number of things that I can't
seem to get figured out just yet.
I'm using postfix + dbmail + postgresql with hopes (tomorrow) of setting up
dspam and clam-av. I have clam-av running now but it's an old version and might
not work. I also was using bogofilter but not anymore.
postfix:
local_recipient_maps
I added a pgsql-recipients file with a pointer to the dbmail_aliases table
to do the recipient lookups. This doesn't work very well.
I changed my email address and mapped an alias in dbmail so now anything that is
delivered to my real name isn't seen as an alias. Only email that is delivered
to an alias is seen.
And I managed to duplicate the aliases table (/etc/aliases.db) with the
dbmail_alias table and that got things badly fuggered.
Right now I'm running no local_recipient_maps. All my aliases are done in
/etc/alias. I missed a beat on this configuration or am I expected to add
myself as an alias to myself? Seems strange to me.
dbmail mailing list -- there's another email address out there 'tallison' that
isn't going to be very useful anymore. If someone could make it go away I would
appreciate it. But I can't seem to send email from that address just yet.
sieve: I was using something under procmail to eliminate duplicate emails send
to me from mailing lists where I was also a To/CC using:
# remove duplicate emails
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 2048 msgid.cache
This would keep a list of 2048 records of Message-ID's and remove anything that
appears recently. Very handy. Any sieve equals?
Can someone point to some sieve sites I can RTFM rather than driving everyone
crazy here?
