Re: Mail back-up system
Olivier Nicole [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I read the article and the idea is good. But i would like to know what MTA are you using..In the paper you said that at first the email is strored in Mailbox format. Isn`t that a bottleneck. WHat are the loads of the machines= Considering we have only 200 users and 3000 messages per day, whatever would do. MTA is sendmail/milter. I plan to change that mailbox thing when I get budget for a new machine to play with (I don't want to take the risk to break the working configuration). Mailbox format might not be a bottleneck in this application. It's fairly efficient at appending new messages, and that is the only common operation being performed on these backup mail spools. I could see this as an advantage of the Maildirs format. Since every mail is stored in its own file (versus concatenation in Mbox), it's much cheaper to backup. Just copy all the new/touched files, not all your mail. I just have a second disk on the server that I rsync everything to on an hourly basis. I use Matt Simerson's excellent Mail Toaster scripts for FreeBSD, which create a full mail server using vpopmail, courier, maildirs, spam/virus filtering, webmail. If you are switching to Maildirs anyway, I recommend trying it out. http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/mail/toaster/ -Rafi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That would not solve the oops I deleted that VERY IMPORTANT email, where I can get it back? question. My goal is not high availability, but offering the user a way to undelete emails. I guess if they had deleted it before the next rsync, you could just copy the individual mails back to the main, or have a script/trigger to do that. However, in this case, it sounds like error exists between keyboard and chair... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Spamassassin
Hi, I just converted my RedHat box to BSD 5.2.1 and installed Spamassassin with Sendmail and Procmail. This is the same configuration I had on the RedHat machine, but Spamassassin seems to not catch as much spam as it did before. I get so much more junk in my inbox and they only get one or two hits with Spamassassin. Anybody have any ideas on what may be happening? If you were using the Bayes functionality, it won't kick in till you feed it 250 or 300 spams (don't remember #). That definitely made a big difference for me. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Mail
Hi, I am having a lot of trouble setting up mail. And, perhaps more importantly, I am having a lot of trouble figuring what software to set-up. Sendmail is standard but buggy, so I imagine that Postfix is a better choice. But what should I use for secure IMAP? I went through this a few years ago, and settled on Qmail. Easy to set up, as secure as these things get. Then I found Matt Simerson's FreeBSD Mail Toaster scripts, which make installing and configuring everything ridiculously easy. http://www.thenetworkpeople.biz/internet/mail/toaster/ It installs Qmail and Courier (reg and ssl), Vpopmail, Qmailadmin, various webmail interfaces, Spamassassin, and ClamAV. Pretty much all you're ever gonna need. HTH, Rafi ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
